Problem with VESC Tool vs BLDC FW version

Forums:

I just built VESC Tool for Linux from source, but no matter what FW I upload, VESC Tool thinks it is "a bit old" and tags it with "limited functionality" which means the Motor Setup Wizard just sends me back to firmware upgrade again and again.

I have tried using "FIRMWARE_default" with hw60_mk5 from VESC Tool v 3.01 test version 1 and 12 and even after upgrading to this firmware the tool says it is too old.

(I have also build the 5_03 dev branch FW and uploaded under "Custom" with same result.)

What am I missing?

no effect on set erpm/speed limit

Hi, 

I have the problem that when i set the speed limit in the profiles tap and set it to "use until Reboot OR Use permanently"

this setting is completely ignored and i got always max speed.

Here are my setup:

Vesc 100/250 @16s FW.:5.2

8Kg 10 pole inrunner

1:7,6 Gear ratio 

Wheel Daimeter 640mm 

I have set everything up again several times without success

I am at the end of my knowledge.

Motor whine with HFI?

Submitted by christopher.h.poole on Mon, 2021-04-19 15:49

I'm running two sensorless motors with the FOCBOX in HFI mode. Controlling the speed via ADC in PID speed control (reverse button).

HFI is working great to start from a stand-still, but the motors have a continuous loud whine from HFI even when there is zero throttle. Is there a way to configure HFI to disable unless a throttle is applied?

Overheating protection, voltage-/current-limitation etc.

Hello people,

Im currently using VESC to control a motor that translates its rotatory motion into translational motion so I can move parts from left to right and vise versa.

I wonder why its seems that VESC limitates the total current to about 20A. There is no "current-barrier" in the settings.

throttle mapping: non-zero current at zero adc input?

Hi, 

How can you adjust the throttle curve such that you get a small positive current at zero input of your ADC controller? 

I tried to play with VESCtool setting myself and I searched the forums, but I can't find an answer to this question.

I thought about setting the ADC1 Min Voltage to a negative number, but VESCtool does not allow. 

Any tips are much appreciated!

(I have a vesc6 with firmware 5.1 and am using Vesc Tool 2.06 for pc and android phone)

Pc requirement to run vesc software

Hi , I am new in this world.

I have  ordered a VESC 6 MkV from Trampa and downloaded the free Windows vesc_tool_3.00.exe to start understanding the possibilities.

When I run the vesc_tool_3.00.exe on my notebook,  it start with a blank windows but after few seconds it close itself without messages .

The TRAMPA support says " it is when the PC is not powerful enough to run the tool ".

My question is now Is there any PC requirements tu run the Windows tool ?

Get data from VESC on Arduino

Good morning, I'm using VESC 4.12 to run my 6354 flipsky BLDC motor. I'm participating in a competition where I'm required to display data on my user interface. I've some questions regarding the same.

(1.) How can I make my VESC work using UART on Arduino?

(2.) Will it be able to send data to the Arduino, as I'll be required to display it on my user interface. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Looking forward to hearing from you 

Regards
