VESC Tool

Use Vesc-Tool to run two motors simultaneously via CAN

Submitted by microlomaniac on Thu, 2021-06-17 11:55

Forums:

I have a working setup with two FSESCs connected via CAN. Normally I use the UART app and an ESP8266 connected via UART to one of the ESCs to control both motors, which works swimmingly.

I would like to work on the PIDs though, so I have made the ESP8266 a simple Wifi-UART bridge to be able to connect with VESC-Tool.

I can connect fine, and it's just as if I was connected via USB. I can see both ESCs, and I can control both, but I can't seem to find a way to control both at the same time.

 

NRF5X SWD Prog detection broken, always detects NRF52832 512K/64K

I've spent hours trying to get my BT module flashed and working. Using the SWD Prog functionality with a Little FOCer. Connect the module to SWD pins, click "Connect NRF5X", it shows "Target: NRF52832 512K/64K", even though it says NRF51822 on the module itself. Go flash a NRF51822 firmware anyway, it flashes successfully. Connect module via UART, doesn't work. Bought a couple more modules... no luck.

Delay on reverse function on electric boat

Submitted by FreddyForLaunch on Tue, 2021-06-01 12:31

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can reduce the time delay from forward to reverse operation? I guess it has something to do with a "max erpm before full brake" parameter, but I cannot find

this setting in the android Vesc Tool. 

I am using vesc6 with firmware 5.1 on an electric boat. To configure, I use android Vesc Tool 2.06.

 

 

Sensored acceleration vs sensorless

Submitted by Mastersam on Tue, 2021-06-01 11:48

Hi everybody,

I recently connected the hall sensors of my 26 inch wheel hub motor to my flysky VESC 6.6 (12S, 60A) .

The result is a way smoother with no more "failure" in the acceleration. But the acceleration itself is much slower than with sensorless mounting.

Do you have any idea of which settings I could change to get the maximum acceleration allowed by my motor ?

Hello,

I doesn't open when i use Admin rights nor does ist open under Windows 7 or 8. I have deactivated Windows Smartscreen and the Firewall, that didn't work also.

I have check following Programs:

OpenGL Version 4.4

OpenCL Version 1.2

Microsoft DirectX Runtime-Version 12

 

what could the problem be?

 

Best Regards,

Android VESC Tool downloaded from Play Store.

Lacroix Lonestar Supersport.

The stormcore showed up in the list of paired devices for a while but I wasn't getting the app to work correctly (I'm new so sure it was operator error).  I deleted the entry for the stormcore in the list of paired devices and at that time I didn't know I should unpair it.  I assumed deleting it would unpair it.  I am not getting this message when I try to connect to the stormcore:

 

FOC configuration - Motor stalls during measurement

Submitted by Lukinio on Wed, 2021-05-26 12:31

Hello all,
I am new to the platform and have just started configuring my engine. About the setup engine FOC this was also correctly detected and ran properly. In the FOC settings of the engine settings I wanted to test again RL, which also worked. However, when testing the engine flux linkage, the engine starts first and then blocks abruptly.
What could be the reason for this?
Do I have to adjust another setting?
The motor polarity is actually automatically detected, or am I wrong?

APP settings for Motor Position and RPM control with PPM

Submitted by Marcos Bleda on Fri, 2021-05-21 10:47

Hey,

I am using VESC paired with an electric motor in order to control a propeller that will be implemented in a small aircraft.

I am wondering if it is possible to have some type of set up or configuration using PPM or other type of control APP, that allows for controlling the position of the motor.
