Hello all! I am using a 50A VESC to build a project and am having a bit of an issue. I have updated the firmware to 5.1 and have set up balance app and all that fun stuff per the youtube videos provided. My issue lies in the fact I can get the motor set up, to spin, and even invert if I so choose. Once I complete the motor wizard, I go into my balance App page, and the bottom indicators read that the state, switches, and motor position are all unkown. has anyone else ran into this issue and if so how did they go about correcting the issue?

 

Write App Configuration via UART [SOLVED]

Hi,

I'd like to read the App Configuration from a VESC, to an Arduino, update one value (PPM, ramp_time_pos), and then send the whole app configuration back to the VESC.

After sending "2 1 17 2 16 3" (message<256 Byte, length=1 Byte, COMM_GET_APPCONF, CRC checksum, End message),

i receive "3 1 112 17 73 122 91 145 31 0 0 3 232 0 ... ..." (message > 255 Byte, length = 1*256+112 = 368 Byte, 17,73,122,91,145 <- ???, 31=controller_id, 0+0+3*256+232 = 1000 timeout_msec, ... ...)

 

Now my two questions:

Hi friends I have the last version of the vesc tool (2.06) , my vesc is Flipsky 4.20 , I made firmware update and tried to calibrate the motors with success but when I tried calibrate the PPM it enters to calibration but no reading of minimum , maximum and middle range of the PPM . My PPM is also Flipsky VX1 version. I also have Bluetooth by Flipsky to connect to vesc tool from my phone. When I push the PPM full up the motors moving at fast speed imidiatly and when pushing full back it goes slowly.

What am I doing wrong ?
