Hi,

i have a problem  with Vesc 6.0 mounted on cablecam. After some time (havent understood why yet) the Vesc doesnt send anything ro motors.

i am controlling it through serial port and I am using VescUart library. I send Duty Cycle command and I read all the parameters.

When the Vesc stop working (no more motor control) it still gives me temperature readings through serial port.

I tried to connect Vesc Tool runnung on PC via USB-c and if I send reboot command it start working again.

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a robot project and plan to improve the torque control function by adding inertia to the control system, as my understanding, the accurate output torque should add the acceleration * inertia part. and i have to had a stabled speed signal to get the usable acceleration signal.

Hola alguien puede ayudarme en español gracias tengo varias preguntas 

I see that VESC is CAN enabled, but I cannot find much (any) information regarding the CAN protocol on this websites documentation section.  I apologized if I've missed it!

Hi, I'm trying to get the wheel speed over CANBUS - I have a Trampa Vesc 6 mk5, with an Ozo BROU-AGRI-2019 wheel. I can see that the CAN_PACKET_STATUS message has RPM but
this doesn't seem to tie back to approx speed (measured using a stopwatch and wheel radius!), even after accounting for the detected gear ratio.

Please can someone help explain what I'm doing wrong...and if there's an easier way of getting speed data out through the CANBUS?

Secondly, is there a way of getting Hall sensor data out through the CANBUS?

Thanks!

Hey all,

New to VESC, I'm trying to use two hoverboard motors with my dual vesc 4.12, motor detection seems to work mostly, however the motors vibrate and don't spin. , my settings look comparable to others I've seen online, and the motors work fine on the stock motherboard. 

But when I try and co tell them either with forward / back buttons in vesc tool, or with pwm signals from my RC remote, they just make a horrible noise and sort of vibrate. 

Attached is a video of what manual signals sound like:

maybe in the future vesc can support pwn + dir input, this is used for the force feedback steering wheel project, now i am running a custom firmware that supports pwm + dir but this is an old firmware version, maybe someone can customize the latest firmware

I bought a VESC for an electric skateboard with a 2450KV motor. I have used this on a standard ESC and it has worked fine. However, when switching to a VESC 4.12, I often get kickback when accelerating and the motor force stops the motor. I have tried adjusting the braking, does anyone else know what else I can do to try and prevent the kickback?

Can anyone point me to a VESC controller that is designed for lower current use. My application is 20 amps max. I would like to take advantage of all the features in the VESC controller for my lower power project.
Thanks
