General discussion

Similar to swapping batteries between cordless drills i want to swap the vesc 6 between some outdoor power tools that i made. Im not sure how the vesc would identify each tool. Heres an example, lawn mower has moter rated for 50amps, being a low kv motor it would have a custom tune. Then when I switch to the brush cutter I need a 200amp limit and tune for high kv motor. Also I would like to have virtual heat sensor algorithms  in the vesc for each to prevent overheating. 
my questions:

I am completely new to VESC and am hoping I can get some noob advice. Basically met Benjamin briefly in work (great guy!) and learned about his fantastic esc design. Could not resist buying one just to learn more.  I am however rather awful at programming and just do not know how to proceed.

The ESC is a trampa vesc6 100A and I have started playing with the vesctool. It was easy to setup a new motor and get it running in FOC mode. I have also installed a AS5047 encoder and it seems to work fine.

How can i compile Vesc Tools?? I have Windows 10 pc and i also have Linux, raspbian and i have Ubuntus 20.04 on a virtual box on a mac. 

I have tried on all of these operative systems following Benjamins instruction for how to do it https://vesc-project.com/node/310

It is not working. I want to be able to compile it so i can change it and adapt it after what my project. 

Hello,

I amusing VESC 6 MKV and I tried updating the firmware and it gets updated successfully.I generally wait about a min to reset the device and try auto connecting. When I configure the motor after upgrading it pops up an message that the tool has an older version and needs to be upgarded.It does allow me to configure the motor, but when i am trying to configure an input device it does not allow me to proceed and I am stuck, I tried upgrading my VESC multiple times but still having the same issue.

I've been testing my design (https://vesc-project.com/node/1477) with large hub motors, QS205 in this case, and I noticed that if I twitch the throttle to fully open, an over current fault is generated. The motor goes full speed and then controller suddenly cuts out.  If I slowly advance the throttle, this doesn't happen: the motor spins at full speed without problem.

Hi, 

I am working on a project with Vesc. I can control motor with Vesc Tools. but now i need to create a GUI and from there i want to choose rpm/duty cycles ,etc. Do someone here know how can i communicate between my Gui code and Vesc Tools ? 

I just received a badly formated email, saying

The role, vesc_free, you acquired by purchasing a product at our store has expired. Any special access or privileges that came with it are now gone. You can purchase it again by going to <a href="https://vesc-project.com/">VESC Project</a>

Thanks again,

VESC Project

I have no idea what a role is. Can somebody explain to me what I no longer have?

Hi VESC Community

Hi Everyone,

We are looking for an option to control a e skate or vesc via head tracker or similar.

Are there any out there that people are using??

Does it connect to ADC etc? If head down =throttle  head up= brake..

Cheers
