General discussion

I don't quite understand under what circumstances the PID controller is used (specifically talking about FOC control in my case).

I've got encoder feedback, but thus far I've actually had better results from running Sensorless (by keeping the 'Sensorless ERPM' setting lower than my min ERPM). I guess this means the encoder info is taken into account for start-up only, but then it quickly switches to Sensorless mode?

I'm running a motor that has a Kt value of 105 according to the manufacturer. I've got an input voltage of 49.4V (as read by VESC Tool software). Therefore with no losses and a max duty cycle of of 95%, I'd expect to hit RPM values of around 49.4 x 105 x 0.95 = 4928RPM. (I have the max ERPM software limit set well above the max I should ever see in practice, so that shouldn't be doing any limiting).

Hi

I am wanting to edit and compile the VESC tool but I have no idea how to compile it, and can't seem to find anything out there to help. 

I use a Windows 10 machine.

Any help is much appreciated.

Can i slow down the speed of the motor(gradually decrease the speed) when the battery is about to die rather than an abrupt stop?

Is there a way that I could change the auto time off of the vesc using the UI or would I have to make changes in the firmware?

I have a 12s4p setup with liion cells the pack reads 50.4 on two different volt meters and the BMS but my VESC 60HD reads 49.9 (98%)I tried another pack with the same result an old Lipo pack at 48.8 is read by the VESC at 48.3 so consistently .5 volts lower than the battery actually is. I understand that there are manufacturing variants that make the voltage reading not perfect. 
Is there a way to correct this or at least get my battery to read 100%, like a custom battery con figuration telling the VESC that my full charge is 49.9 instead of 50.4?

I am using two 8.5 inch 350 watt wheel motors from a Gyroor Warrior G2 hoverboard controlled by Flipsky VESC 4.12 50 amp controllers.  An Arduino Mega is controlling both controllers via UART communications. I am sending commands to set the RPM of each motor.  The motors were configured with the "Motor Setup Wizard" to use FOC with hall sensors.

Currently I am powering with a 7S2P battery bank.  The motors were intended for 10S2P and I have such a pack ordered to see how much difference the higher voltage makes.  

Hi, I have a problem when I load the engine it will be limited duty. Why doesn't more power flow into the engine to overcome the load?

Hi all,

i'm trying to use a dual vesc setup.

I have a batterypack 10s3p with Samsung INR18650-30Q, two vesc (mk5 and mk4) and two Flipsky 6354 Motors.

The two vescs are connected via CAN and have both the same firmware:

Hello,

It is mentioned in the page :1x VESC 6 MkV (trampaboards.com)

that it is possible to have Roll to start. how is that possible?
