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

 My VESC works and both the calibrating of the motor and the thumb throttle works, but keyboard control is only making some unpleasant noise in the motor.Can anybody please help.

Hello,

i tried the search function but did not find the answer. Maybe someone can give advice on my problem. 
i am using a HGLTECH vesc 200 A Max 75v 

i am running a sss56114 innerrunner 6 Pole Motor on 12s liion. 
i know from previous measurement that this motor uses around 4A no load current. Wit the attached planetary gearbox slightly more. 
with the vesc and attached metr can, I get readings of about 2A only. 
 

How can that be?

thanks

Toto

Hello,

I'm unable to get more power from the motor.

Example :

QS 205, can get max 12kW ,

QS 138 70H can get max 18kW .

the test was done with the same power settings, same controller,and same battery,just different detection motor parameters.

72v battery capable of 400amps.

increasing phase current limit above 450A does not make more power, but low speed torque is much higher.

with another brand controller, i can have 16kW on qs205.

I have 2 Flipsky Mini 4.20 VESC connected to two 10" hub motors. I have been able to connect and set up OK. When they are powered up at least 50% of the time, one vesc doesn't start properly. When it responds to a setRPM command it rub slowly in the opposite direction and never responses to any rpm increase commands, but it does stop if I send a setRPM(0). The opposite vesc starts and run properly. The next startup it will run OK.
