Hi, does anyone know what the best way to configure VESC to control a e-bike descending on long steep downhill slope? (without activating the braking) i.e. the controller hold is a constant speed. Appreciate any help.
When you think you resolved one issue, another one is waiting for you around the corner. :)
Hi guys i am currently repairing a flipsky vesc 6.6. The owner of the vesc could not solder to save himself and ended up burning the swd pads off the pcb trying to reflash firmware with stlink utility. This would never have worked anyway as i found the mcu was shorted. Im about to resolder a new stm32f405 onto the board so i want to make sure i get this right as there is no way to reprogram once its back on.
Good day,
Hi all,
we have a question regarding the use of the VESC-Controllers for induction motors as we want to build a prototype for a LIM. For this prototype we would like to give out 3 ac signals with variable frequency and a fixed current amplitude.
Is this possible with VESC-Controllers? I've seen that the controller is mainly used for BLDC applications.
Kind Regards,
Marc
Hello everyone, currently I'm trying to build a custom firmware that the goal is to achieve a custom UART message exchange function.
However, I am abit new to the ChibiOS and the VESC firmware, for now I tried few UART functions, e.g.:
sdPut(&SD2,'A');
sdWrite(&SD2, "hello", 8);
to send custom message from VESC to external devices, but no luck.
The Eclipse compiler sometimes shows error: note: in expansion of macro 'sdPut'
Any suggestions that how to properly initialize the RX TX port on the VESC ?
Hey guys, was wondering if you all could give me some input as to why my motors are locking up after half throttle I'm attaching a link to show what I'm describing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EvKGwxf86dwbTogXgoSVm0xCEm8sAPxh
I'd like to setup my VESC 6 with two ADC throttles so #1 goes forward (current control) and #2 goes backwards and can also act as a brake. Can the standard software do this? Otherwise, I'd like to program it myself. Any advice is appreciated.
Would someone be able to point me to the settings to maximize amp/currently flow while full throttle?
I have a 150kv inrunner motor (attached to a paddle board), with a 12s (12c) battery, 44v, 20mamp. The motor can handle up to 120amp.
I am new to VESC, but have used several other CAN bus ESCs in the past. Pardon me if I ask newbe questions.
I am trying to improve on a FIRST Robotics system that uses the REVrobotics NEO motor https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-21-1650/ and would have used their SPARK ESC but FIRST requires a proprietary heartbeat in the ESC for safety reasons. I am using ROS for the OS and dont have heartbeat capability.
1) Will the VESC work with the NEO motor on the chassis? (I assume it will).
