General discussion

I am using a vesc in my go kart and when I reach my top speed, the motor cuts out and only restarts when I release and then press on the gas. I would like the vesc to only cut out long enough for the speed to drop a little and maintain the top speed somewhat like a car's rev limiter. Is this possible?

Thanks for your responses, Ryan.

I am replacing the diesel engine in a 1 ton, 100-year old 7.2 meter wooden motorboat with an electric motor. Blog here. I have ordered the batteries, but not motor or controller yet.

Hi,

I am trying to get my brushless DC motor running smoothly in FOC mode. The motor parameter detection runs swimmingly, with the resistance detected and the spindle spinning up smoothly during the flux linkage detection. However after applying these motor settings, when setting the device to run at any speed, the spindle spins erratically in both directions not even making a full revolution. I've got a video below showing what's happening:

Hi,

I am trying to get the VESC (VESC 6 MKIV) working with a grace one motor for an e-bike project.

Does anyone know of a VESC suitable for use in road vehicles? I notice the warning in the VESC manuals suggests using one wouldn't satisfy approval for vehicle/road use.

I have a small rear-engined microcar i'm looking at converting to EV. Dual VESC 75/300 would work for my power needs. I read up on the Axiom VESC project but the specs are complete overkill for my needs.

I just put it to use today, there is a small chance that it could've arched the phase wires. Can it be fixed? Thanks

Hello everyone,

I've got a question about the supplying of the Vesc, does it work properly if i'm using a supercapacitor instead of a conventional Lith battery ?

Thanks a lot.

I am working on mobile robots and during some phases of operation need high position accuracy in the robot wheels with high torque at low speed, but do not need absolute position.  This is different than robot arms that need an absolute position at startup.

I'd like to use wheels that have an incremental encoder with no index as they are readily available and lower cost.

I've just switched from an ASI BAC800 to a VESC 6.6 on my ebike. So far the VESC is working well. But I'd like to be able to field weaken as on my ASI. How does one implement this experimental feature into the app or pc VESCTool? When I import XML files into the developer editor, nothing shows up in the VESC tool itself. A step-by-step would be helpful. Also, I'd like to tune the PID. A step-by-step would be helpful for that as well. Anyone have any links? So far my searches don't turn up much. Thanks.
