Difference between regular and 'setup' values in logged csv

Submitted by aUser on Tue, 2024-04-23 14:03

Forums:

I am using the VESC-Tool logging function to track the data after my experiments with a BLDC motor and I haven't found a thorough explanation of the over 50 values it tracks in the resulting csv. Some are self-explanatory, but some are just confusing to me. Especially the difference between the 'normal' and 'setup' variant of some values. e.g. 'ms_today' and 'ms_today_setup'. They are not the same and seem to be running on different clocks. Similarly the difference between 'current_motor' and 'current_motor_setup' is unclear to me.

sick srm50 absolute encoder, I don't know how to configure it

I'm a bit new to electronics, forgive me if I say something stupid.
I currently have a servomotor running with a vesc and it has an incremental encoder. However, I have this desrm50-hfa0-k21 absolute encoder and I would like to test it on this motor. However, I don't know how to configure it or how to connect it to Vesc. If you can help me.

 

Maxkgo bms configuration inside vesc tool

hi, 

I have seen online some people configuring their bms through the vesc tool.

I did not manage to do so.

I have a vesc and a ble dongle connected to the vesc. the bms is connected to vesc over can and I can see the realtime data of maxkgo bms.

 

I would like to know how to have the maxkgo appear in vesc tool side menu (like ennoid I saw online).

I can see a device on CAN being detected but it says motor 60. not sure why it does not say BMS.

Hello,

I try to setup motors FOC without using the GUI. The aim is to configure the vesc and the motor automatically with a python script. I would like to know if there is a way to do this configuration without the GUI. I search into vesctool and pyvesc source (https://github.com/LiamBindle/PyVESC/tree/master), and that's what I got:

 

class DetectApplyFOC(metaclass=VESCMessage):

    id = VedderCmd.COMM_DETECT_APPLY_ALL_FOC

    fields = [

Motor FOC Config Wizard only sees "local" motor, not CAN connected

Hello, New to VESC here, done a ton of reading, and bought the bits to do my eScooter project, (retrofitting a Kaabo Mantis 10 Pro). But I'm having some trouble with the Motor FOC Detection/Wizard.

Not sure if this belongs here or in the "third party hardware". Feel free to move it if I've put it in the wrong place.

hi im wondering if someone can answer some braking questions about an ebike project im working on. im using a flipsky 75100 on a 14" bike that has disc brakes. i built a batt pack for it from sony vtc4s (16s8p). i dont have any brake switches hooked up.  the disc brakes work ok and i was planning on upgrading to hydraulic brakes eventually.
