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

Dave

I just bought a VESC 6 and have been playing around with it. I have been modifying the PID controller for a 3800KV motor for days. This is the best result I've got https://imgur.com/a/3JwVKyt

And I don't know if this is smooth enough or it needs more adjusting. Any idea to make it smoother guys?

Here is the motor configuration content (i don't how to upload a file here):

Hello,

I want to install VESC (BLDC ) on my ubuntu bionic because i have a project about driving autonomous car.

But i have some problems because i cannot install BLDC insted i follow those vedder link https://github.com/vedderb and https://mushr.io/hardware/build_instruc....

Hello everyone. My name is Matt and I just joined your forum. Im looking to upgrade the 2in1 controller in my 72v Zero 11x scooter. I would like some suggestions on what model vesc to consider. Here are a few specs...

72v

32ah battery

Dual 1600w hub motors

The oem 45ax2 controller is problematic so If like to replace it with a better performing replacement. I'd like to do 50a to each motor. Throttle and even a screen would also be cool.

Any help and suggestions are appreciated!

Hi Guys 

Spent long time  to finish my Gokart project ,  after some issue with  single VESC control by PWM  , I finally move to   Dual VESC  75V 100A

 hardware :

13S7P  with  balancer 60A , 2 x  48V 800W   wheel hub 

So now , I use  CAN bus 125k   between front and  back  or my vehicke

On the front  when is a CAN bus  "transmitter"  I made a brake and accelerate paddle 

on tge back - when is a CAN bus "receive" ,    is connect tto VESC and control what   front is sending to the rear 

hi all im new to vesc and keep getting the same fault code when doing a foc wizard motor check. The code is ' detection failed . reason: sensor detection failed'

I have had this code on several differant motors and vesc . Any advice?
