General discussion

Hello, Im absolutely new with vesc... Ive used others esc without problem but this ones seems to be much better but more complicated than others.

I have a MINI fesc4.20, trying to use it in a boat with SSS 5684 kv800 motor.

2 weeks took me to make the motor spin... now the motor spin but always at full rpm.

(im using a potentiometer to test it).

In the real time page of the vest tool, I get no data..

Ive looked for information in forum, YouTube, etc but i get not too much info about it.

Someone has used this motor?

I'm building an esc (based on Vesc) ebike.  
 

Do I need an anti-spark switch if I'm using a battery disconnect? 

Hi all,

my setup is a hall-sensored BLDC Maytech 6374 90KV motor with SUPERFOC6.8 VESC on 10s battery and I would like to use it with speed control mode from a ROS node.
After successful FOC setup, the motor is not able to run under ~300 ERPM in speed mode without coughing / oscillation. Duty cycle works fine at low speed but without enough tourqe.
I also tried foc_openloop command from the vesc tool console which is ok at lower rpm but for me the speed controller interface would be ideal.

so i am making a electric mini bike and im having problems programing the throttle im getting the 5 volts and i checked with a volt meter and its getting voltage im getting 5 volts at zero throttle and at full throttle im getting 0.7 volts but on vesc tool i cant get anything. what amd i missing here? im using a flipsky 4.20

Today I tray to configure my e-bike Motor with a Maytech 6.0 200A VESC HW 60 FW 5.2.

The Motor jerks like crazy, could somebody help?

How can I upload a sample?

I am using a VESC 6mkv with a potentiometer connected to the VCC and the ADC. when i start to setup the adc, the GUI shows that the max voltage is 3.3 and min being 0V with deadband being 2%.

But when i complete the setup and start the motor, the motor starts running at 0.2V and then at 0.5V it attains the max speed(instead of 3.3V). after 0.5V any increase in the voltage given to the adc does not affect the speed.

I tried even setting the min voltage to adc as 0V and max as 1.5V, the performance is the same.

which types of motors are supportred by the VESC controller

Hello,

I am using a remote control to regulate the output adc value and the motor seems to have a jerky start and later at the higher voltage it starts running smoothly. Can someone tell me how to fix this issue?

Hi Everyone,

We are building an electric boogie board(Tow boogie) to tow folks on their foil board. Here is a youtube video that shows how it works.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXAEtRpQjOA.

Our Tow Boogie Build has run into issues with the speed of the boogie. The motor doesn’t seem to be generating enough speed. For starters we followed the boogie on a surfboard and got up to 7mph speed.

Hi everybody, 

this is my first post here, but I have been working with VESC's for the last 2 years, building an ebike. Recently, I decided to upgrade to VESC 6.6, as my other two 4.12 VESC's died during driving, and I suspect it was due to bad cooling and old hardware/design.
