VESC Tool

Hi,

I´ve got a probably easy to solve problem:

I can control the VESC with my remote without problems, but when I try to use the keyboard control from the tool the motor only clicks and rattels briefly.

The same happens when I try to control it from the app or the terminal.

I didn´t find anything on google. Has anyone got an idea what I am doing wrong?

Hello,

I quickly wanted to report a bug I was able to solve. Just incase anyone encounters the same: The input field for "Sensorless ERPM" under FOC=>Hall Sensors will randomly autocorrect and will only allow values below 999 or above 100000. This was caused by having dot ... and comma ,,, swapped in my german Windows PCs system-wide settings. I am sure it will be the same for other input fields as well, but not for all.

I think this is pretty rare, and now here it is. I don't know if this can be fixed, as it's probably related to QT.

Hi there,

I'm a newbie in search of help.

I have just downloaded VESC Tool - Platinum and I am attempting to run it under Windows 7.

It completely fails to load.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction.

I have tried "Compatibility Mode" and "Run as Administrator".

I've also loaded it into a variety of locations (Desktop, C:/, C:/Windows, C:/Windows/Programs etc... No Luck with any of these locations either

Another try at a better place (I hope):

Hallo all,

How to select in VESC Tool the COM port of PC for USB connection to VESC6?

Menu connection: Port "COM1" is the only port shown. Clicking button "refresh serial port list" results in nothing new, only COM1.

The last working connection was shown as COM6, but after successful running motor wizzard the tool lost connection when I tried to select the control input. (Should be ADC, wired potentiometer.)

I'd like to determine the KV of a motor. what's the best way to do this?

Is that what the KV command in terminal does? how does it work? how do you use it? I've randomly got it to respond 0 kv or some other number but clearly I don't know how to use it.

I assumed realtime data spinning at a fixed duty cycle controlled by vesc-tool would be needed. but I still get 0kv except for when I randomly didn't. not sure what I did different.

I tried on a fresh installed windows 10 on a Think pad laptop.

Same as the previous versions: Just a blank white window.

Tried with compatibility check to all other versions of windows, or running it as admin.

Put it into the two programs floder or the desktop but nothing helped.

The only machine I can get this program to work on is my desktop in my appartement, but it's hard to lift my bike up two stories, make an adjustment, then test, then lift it back.

Any ideas?

Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on a 4012 480KV from T motor, power in 22.2V with a 15*8 propeller. 

For now I use BLDC but results are not good so I wanted to use the FOC command mode. I make the motor pass the detection but once I write new values and try with Duty cycle input most of the time the motor don't follow the command or have difficulties which I believe come from my parameters for the test.

Hello guys

When i try to connect my phone to the nrf wireless dongle

I get an error about firmware not recognised make sure the port is assigned to the vesc

Any idea how to fix this?

Hey there, I'm trying to build the vesc tool and it's a pain. Has anyone done a docker image that wraps all this? I'm making a docker image now but it is pretty rough going.

Thank you
