VESC Tool Control Theory

Hi all,

I am doing a Capstone Project at school that is building an e-bike conversion kit. I am hoping to use a VESC controller, but I will require documentation for the control theory inside the software. I have looked through the documentation but I have not found anything like that. I was wondering if anyone knew where to look for this sort of thing?

Thanks!

Noobs need to update and / or configure old VESC 4.12

Hello !

I've a old VESC 4.12 buyed some years ago in second hand on internet.

The firmware in the VESC is 2.53

When I connect this esc to my PC, Vesc Tool give me a message "the firmware is too hold ..."

When I upload a new version of the firmware, all is good but the firmware version is the same after reboot. I've read a message on the tool about impossible update after upload a bootloader if another bootloader is present. May be this is the update problem.

hello, I am using current control in my system, and I put the motor max current at any value that is above 10A and the vesc never exceeds 10amperes, I put another motor of another specification and it also reaches a certain limitation that seems that the engine limits the amperage on the vesc, would I have better control of this?

 

 

IMU not working after power cycle

Please help, no clue anymore...

I have a DIY onewheel project and I'm using Flipsky 75100 Foc 75V 100A and a MPU6050..

After calibrating the IMU everything workes great.

When I power cycle it says IMU not working, no data is comming in.

When I change the loop frequency to something like 850 instead of 800 it works again.

Its like when it boots it forgets to start communicating with the VESC or something.

Just wasted 2 hours trying to adjust the second VESC on a Motor with the 3.01 Tool.

 I have updated the Firmware 4-5 times to 5.3 but the Flipsky device didn't swallow on the second VESC. 

I tried switching USB ports and connections but didn't work. 

So after my patience was running out I tried the VESC tool 0.94 and after downgrading the Firmware the VESC Tool asked me if I am on Master or Slave VESC. 

With that I was able to Run my Motors, but it was Frustrating after that experience.
