Hello,
I am trying to build a sumo-robot using Dual FSESC6.6. and I would like to control two motors in two directions. With the application I can control the motors only in the same direction.
What shoud I do or what should I use to control both motors in the opposite or the same direction whenever I want?
Kind regards,
Rafal
Hello,
So for my High School subject, I have built an electric bike and planned to use a VESC Controller to control it.
I have gotten into the final steps and now need to program the VESC to function correctly, I haven't found a good explanation of how I would do this for something that isn't a skateboard.
The motor is a Turnigy Aerodrive SK3 - 6374-149KV Brushless Outrunner Motor
Hello together,
I am new in this forum. I started using the VESC because I´ve designed an own 3D-printed Motor.
I have following problem and really hope you can help me.
After I made the motor setup (which worked very well) I want to start motor rotation by changing the duty cycle (buttom left). When I push the play-button the current goes for just a few ms to nearly 0,05A and then immediately decreases to 0A. It can´t be a short cicuit (don´t know if this is the correct word ;) ) because otherwise a correct setup would not be possible....
I have a VESC 6 MK IV with 5.02 firmware and recently upgraded the battery from 10s to 13s (above spec, I know). Near the top speed that I expected for this battery (30 km/h), the VESC keeps cutting out (see plot). The dark green trace often rises to 31 km/h and then the current drops to 0 without throttle change or a fault. Is there is a setting I forgot to change? ERPM at 35k is far below the 81k limit.
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to update the FW of my VESC Hardware Version 4.12 from 3.63 to 5.02. Normally this isn't a big deal but the thing is, I have a custom app which integrates a cruise control in my speed knob.
So I followed this explanation again:
Just looking for some advice. Configured motors on the VESC and all semeed well, they spin when testing. Unfortunately, when I try to accelerate using the remote (board is upside down), the wheels just turn a quarter, stop, and the remote beeps. Links of setup are attached. Advice would be great!
Motors:
If one has a controller that does not offer a reverse switch input when the speed input is analog (such as from a twist throttle), could a DPDT switch be installed in two of the motor phase power lines to reverse the motor direction? What I am wondering in particular is if such a scheme would mess up the controller/motor calibration or some-such thing when reverse is selected?
I'm thinking in particular about one of the Flipsky controllers which, as I understand it, only provides motor reverse thru the PPM input (which a twist throttle does not have).
Hello all,
I was measuring the resistance of a hoverboard motor using a VESC 6 MKIII. The value I get is about 140 mΩ.
I also tested the motor directly on my power supply. 0.4 V phase-phase gives 1 Amp, meaning the phase-zero resistance is about 200 mΩ (400 mV / 1 A / 2).
Hello all, new member here. I have an electric ATV (Venom E-Grizzly) for which I'd like to add a smoother, quieter controller. The Flipsky unit is available locally and appears to be capable enough so it looks like it might be suitable. However, I have no info available on the ATV motor other than the vendor claims its a 3,000 W (there are no markings on it al all). The controller (also of unknown manufacturer) is rated at 1,500 W. I have sent the manufacturer of the ATV (Yongkang Eagle Motor Co) a request for info but I not received a reply and doubt I will get an
