VESC Tool

Hi,

I'm setting to up communication to teh VESC through an Arduino. Using SolidGeek's libraries, I have been able to send position control commands. What I need, is to read in the current position of the motor.

In order to set position, I modified the existing "setRPM" to make a "setPOS" command.

To set position, I naively tired to convert "getVescValues" to a "getVescPos", with the command value of "COMM_ROTOR_POSITION". But this does not seem to be recognized (payload size is zero).

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?

Hi.

My firmware version:5.02  and I tested 5.03,50.4.6,3.8

I run vesc but can't connect to hardware(custom hardware-based 75-300)

can anyone help me?

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.

I just got this working with my kid's power wheels using an ADC/variable throttle and a 24v battery (yes he has a helmet).  My question is around the settings found under Motor Settings > DC

Hi i am very new in these Universum about vesc . Is it possible to control two motors with one ppm signal for throttle and one for the direction over can? Perhaps it can change the throttle in percent between the motors? 

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?

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.

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)

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 ?
