No brakes in PID Speed Control mode

Hi, I am controlling my two wheels robot using PID Speed Control mode which is the most suitable mode to my needs, but not everything works good. I need both forward and reverse directions, but also I want to have a possibility to immadiately stop a robot after releasing inputs from rc radio. Now I can observe that when I am turning in place and after that release inputs the robot doesnt stop, but it turns arround for a while, until freely lose a speed. Which parameters may cause this behavior? I tried tune Speed PID, but without a good results.

Hi,

I'm using VESC Tool v1.24 and Dual FSESC4.20. I try to setup my motor and get proper value of ERPM from Realtime Data plot. My motor is an outrunner motor from HoverBoard. It has got 30 magnets and 27 windings. In tab Additional Info, there is a two places when I can type a Motor Poles values. I don't know what exactly I should type there. What others parameters can affect on proper motor's ERPM value?



PS: Maybe someone has an xml files with proper configuration? :)


Compiled Vesc Tool Won't Recognize Firmware - Windows 1.23

I followed the steps to compile and build the vesc tool in linux using the steps listed in the  "windows_build" file. The build completes with no errors and the .exe file runs on my windows machine. However when I try to connect to my vesc 6 I get the dreaded "cannot read firmware" error. The catch is if I use the pre-built exe downloaded from the web site it connects perfectly. Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Can't get Dual drive/CAN bus working

I have 2X VESC 4.12 and am having trouble with CAN bus.  I have only the two middle wires connected and just flashed new firmware and setup motor config on each.

Individually the motors work fine, but the wizards are not picking up (or giving me options) to select other connected VESCs.  I manually went into the app and made sure they have different VESC ID numbers (0 and 1), have the same status and baud rates, and slave sends status CAN_STATUS_1 at 50Hz.

PPM Mapping's VESC Tool not working

Using Dual FSESC 4.20 Plus and VX1 remote and running FOC with 2 BLDC motors. I go to setup input > Master VESC > PPM RC receiver > PPM mapping. I also turned on RT app data. When I push and pull the throttle, no data is displayed on the "VESC Tool" and "From VESC" bars on the Pulselength section. Remote, receiver, and motors seem to work fine when I hit the throttle outside of the setup. I keep going to "General" to change "APP to use" to PPM instead of PPM and UART, but it doesn't save that option, if that's a relevant problem. Could be the firmware too.
