Battery to motor voltage

Submitted by fazekas on Sat, 2021-05-15 16:03

Dear all,

allthough being a newbie to electric drives, I did study EE but am not best informed on BLDC. My collegue and I have the honor to build a car prototype which drives only with 6-10 km/h and we have a 24 V LiIon battery (7S8P). Now I have the feeling that our little motor, which is a 15 W, 24V motor rated for the 8S7P will juts not have enough power. So i think of changing the motor but have the difficulty finding one, which is rated for 7S8P. (24V).

Servo output control

Submitted by 007trains on Fri, 2021-05-14 15:16

I'm trying to control a servo based on ADC1 and ADC2 inputs, so far I've modified app_adc.c with servo_simple_set_output  and set servo enable 1 in conf_general

Compiled  firmware and uploaded but it seems there is no servo output,

everything else is working normally

What are the steps i need to do to output a servo signal through the servo cable?

Is there any examples where someone else has done this?

VESC 100/250: analog regen brake AND e-brake cut switch?

Submitted by fatty on Thu, 2021-05-13 01:16

On the VESC 100/250, I would like to use a second thumb throttle for light variable regen braking, as well as separate hand e-brake switches on the mechanical brakes to cut motor for emergency braking (without regen).  Is this possible?

It seems the brake throttle signal should be connected to ADC2 as Current No Reverse Braking, and the hand e-brake switches (in parallel) should be connected between RX and GND as CURRENT_NOREV_BRAKE_BUTTON.  Is this correct?

Thank you!

Minimum speed push cart using arduino

Submitted by BarBumble on Wed, 2021-05-12 09:29

Hi,

I have been building a pushcart using 2 HUB motors, VESC, and Arduino to control the VESC using U-ART (Rolling Gecko)

used the "SetRPM" function to control my speed with fast and slow toggle button to switch speeds

 

noticed 2 problems:

1. If I push the cart while walking to move it faster it will try to correct itself by stopping and going backward. I want to set a minimum speed and let myself push to go faster if I want. is there a way to set Minimum RPM without correcting if I go above it?

Knocking inside motor between 10-20km, after and before all is ok

Submitted by spacewalker on Mon, 2021-05-10 11:00

Hi guys 

I am finally running my  Gokart  with :

75/200  ESC  by Splinted

13S7P battery 35Ah 21700   210A  

150A  DALY BMS 

2 x  800W   48V wheels 

so , let me   explain my issue 

Motor detection is around 30-33A current  from Wizzard ,   hoverer accelerate is  not "strong" ..it will accelerate   till 50km/h  of course  "baby drive"

VESCTool - connect to ESP32?

Submitted by SimonR_SFX on Thu, 2021-05-06 11:26

I wonder if anyone has connected the VESC Tool to an ESP32, instead of a dongle?

My reason for this is I have a display connected to the UART pins - but would like to use the VESC Tool at the same time!  Since the ESP32 supports Bluetooth 4, I wonder if it could just act as a relay, extracting the info it needs for the display as it goes?

The display is here (if you're interested) https://github.com/SimonRafferty/VESC_ESP32_Display

VESC 4.12 FW5.02 CAN status messages is spamming bus, external controller, SOLVED: NEEDED INIT!

Submitted by Offline on Mon, 2021-05-03 14:57

Hi everyone

I have used some days trying to get some control over my VESC using a CAN tranceiver, for now I'm only looking on the status messages.

The issue is that no matter what I do, its payload is all 0's, and even when selecting STATUS 1-2-3-4-5, its only keeps sending the same message.

Am I missing something ?

Another wierd thing, is that its not respecting CAN Status Rate, its just spamming the bus
