I have a VESC 100/250 connected to a Geiger HPD20. The Geiger documentation lists the phase-to-phase inductance as 8.7uH:

Hello Vesc Forum,

at first, we would make a big hug to Sebastian who invented this device. We are building the Carryboard, a Golf Skateboard specialy manufactured for Golf courses.

Without this device, it would not be possible to use our Board, so big big thanks.

Config:

Battery --> Y Cabel --> 2 Vescs (Firmware 4.2, Vesc Tool 2.03) --> Brushless Motor 48 V Mid Size

ADC --> Thumbthrottle

Hi all, 

I have been using a VESC to control a motor which I am using as a (sort of) generator. The motor in question is coupled to a larger AC motor which drives it, and I am investigating how well the motor/VESC setup can follow brake demands. 

The motor is powered by a bench power supply, and has circuitry built in so that when the VESC is braking, the power is sent through to a dump resistor. This has been working perfectly so far however I have now found a few problems I'm hoping someone can help me with. 

Hi there,

Got my first beginner electric skateboard a week ago, mind blown wish I got one ages ago...but realized after day 1 that I'm gonna need more.

Spent a bit of time reading up about VESC and think it's pretty clear that VESC is better than the hobbywing ESC...but could someone please explain. the average VESC amp rating is upwards of 50A while hobbywing ESC is only around 12.5 amps but they can both run the same size (power rating) motors? How is that possible? Thanks in advance. 

I need to connect my VESC to a API from SCHNEIDER with Can BUS

I need the EDS files (Electronic Data Sheet) to communicate....Does anyone create this file?

Thanks

Hi all,

Im currently building a large electric scooter im using the VESC 100/250 when i use the regen braking its cuts out like its pulsing off and on really fast. In the app i was getting an over current error but the regen is set at 10 amps and it still does it im running out of ideas on how to resolve this issue.

Cheers

Hello Everyone,

Here is a bench test summary of an efficiency measurement comparing a Flipsky 4.20 Mini VESC (Hardware 4.10) versus an Eflite 40a BLDC ESC.

The main Observation of this test is to measure changes in Wattage consumption changes while comparing the FOC method versus BLDC.

Measurements were done using a Turnigy V3 thrust stand and Power Analyzer

Issue :
 When using the Receiver(Flipsky v2) to test the FWD/BWD ... the wheels don't go fwd and both motors make sounds but aren't turning.
Tho going back ''works'' but having a little hard time maintaining.

*The motors tho are running well when I do the detection test 

When I try to setup the Input I do not see any feedback from the receiver in vesc ... 
RT & RT APP are both activated ... 

Im not able to pin point the source of the issue please help
