I'm trying to set up my VESC for the first time. I am using the Dual FSESC4.20 from Flipsky to drive 2 hoverboard wheels with an R/C controller. I will only be using these for forward and backward and not for steering. I am using the wizard to set up the motors. Should I be using the setting for E-Bike DD Hub Motor (~6 kg)?
don't know how to removed it..
Hi,
While riding I have music from my phone over bluetooth which also uses the pause, prev, next buttons from my speaker. Wth the vesc tool app in the foreground my speaker buttons no longer function.
It also drains my battery very quickly even though I have my phone charging from my speaker.
I have another controller that uses a complimentary bluetooth app and I have neither issue with that.
Is this a known issue with (hopefully) a solution? Or maybe there're alternative recommended apps for live data?
Hello! Apologies if this belongs in the 3rd party area, I am not sure if the issue is hardware, software or some combination. I am running a Maker-X FOC Mini (HW Version "60" in VESC Tool). It is communicating properly and successfully updated to FW 5.1. I can get my motor running, just not very well or consistently.
When I finish setting up my motors and input which is a thumb throttle. The problem is when I go to the app config setting to do some changes, it disable one side of the vesc when ever I hit the write button. What I mean by that is the the green light shut off meaning that it not recieving any commands. The only way to reactivate the other side is to reset the whole set up process. Is the a way to reactivate it without going through the whole setup process?
Hello. Can you help us with the following issue:
We are going to use VESC for driving tail rotor in helicopter. Tail rotor has foldable blades.
It is absolutely necessary to drive in duty cycle mode with no braking. The main reason for that: blades can make vibrations or even fold during braking.
What i tried for now : setting motor and brake current 0, and it did not help.
What else can i try ? Change parameters or may be some modifications to the code can be done?
Hi . I control my VESC using a 10K pot on the ADC input, this is working fine
I need to set the max RPM to a much lower level max around 3000 RPM
I reduced the ERPM value to around 35000 and sure enough its about the speed I want , however
this occurs at around 1/3rd of the pots revolution and for the other 2/3rds it just sits at that set max speed.
The trouble with that is I only get a small rotation of the pot from 0 to max speed .
Is here a way to set it so I get my reduced max speed but spread over the full travel
The VESC Hardware Version 6 shows some erratic behaviour with the saving of the Motor and App parameters from the VESC-Tool to the VESC controller.
Steps to reproduce:
Hello to you out there.
We have purchased the Platinum version, so we are up to date.
Atm we got 48V 14 cells battery, 2 single VESC HW 4.12 FW 4.2.
Motors are 2 BLDCs and they are controlled by ADC throttle.
We setup the master and slave as the following short instruction:

Hey all,
I have searched for this issue and have not found a solution yet. I am using the VESC with a throttle in Duty cycle mode ( I know of the differences between current and such, we just need duty). I was wondering if anyone has found a way to limit the current spikes when changing the throttle. Right now i'm seeing lots of current pushed to the motor when changes in throttle happen. This is a bit Jarring.
