VESC Tool

I am getting a white window when I try to open this version. I am wondering if anyone else has the same issue?

I tired different VESC Tool versions on my newly installed Win 10 PC and all versions (v2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3) don´t start. A white program-window is opened and after a second it is closed automatically. The VESC Tool exe files are on my desktop and also on an other position on my hard disk - no difference. I also tried it on one of my other pcs without any troubles. I installed java and arduino too.. Thought maybe there are some parts (java) or something different missing? Would be happy if somebody could help me out here!

Does anyone have details on the GPDrive and how to implement it? I know it was used to drive a subwoofer but I can't find any info since then. This sort of thing seems like the ticket to making a regular DC/AC inverter. @frank @benjamin

I'm trying to control the speed of my motor with the vesc tool. It seems like no matter what I do, after I program my esc, it just becomes an on/off switch for my motor. I pass the PPM threshold and it turns my motor on and at full speed. Any higher doesn't do anything. If i go below, it just stops the motor.

I would like to control the motor with a servo signal (50Hz 1.5ms center, 5VPP, 1.0-2.0ms range) to have the motor spin from 0-3000 rpm

Here's my hardware:

hi fellow skaters

i would like to share my issue with logging on vesc tool mobile (sg note 9 android 10)

this is diy build finished few days ago, i had chance to test it each day for about 40min's run and it works great except position logging. i am not sure what is wrong but ill try to explain (ss provided also).

Hey guys,

I am struggling to set up my first vesc. I have the Maytech v4.12. I have it plugged in to my motor, battery and remote. When I go to connect it to my computer this screen pops up

So i try to update the firmware which gives me this message

When I press yes it starts and after about 10 seconds I get this error message​​

So I've just been working on the motor drivers and I did my first serious speed and power tests using the mobile vesc tool app, and I've been using it and its been really helpful with speed and power limiting and it goes plenty fast downhill and on flat ground, but as soon as I go uphill, the voltage drops really low, which understand is normal, but I don't know what kind of settings I should have to counter this, below are my significant settings

Hi, I  was write small Python binding for communicate with device using serial port. 

As start point I use yours project. Currently I successfully handle COMM_FW_VERSION:



VESC Firmware Version 3.65, Hardware: 60, UUID: 25 00 2e 00 17 47 37 33 38 33 32 38

 

Now I parse COMM_GET_IMU_DATA and I have next questions:

1. Can you please explain, what mean byte before CRC value?

Hi there,

My motor runs well during auto detection phases (both FOC and BLDC). After that, the manual controls (D,I,RPM, etc.) don't get it close as smooth. In fact, it only runs at 21% Duty Cycle. Tried PPM input in any available option, still no chance.

I wonder if I can run the detection algorithms inside the tool. Maybe in the development area? Is there some documentation about that?

Eagerly looking to any ideas!

Thanks!

Can anyone explain which pin is used in the auxiliary output mode feature under the advanced tab of the general motor settings? I have use for its functionality.
