VESC Tool

I want to use the VESC Tool to control a test motor on my dyno, e.g. to set up different rpm's in a sequence. This should be done automatically by calling the VESC Tool from another program. Are there any command line options available or does anybody know if I can use the capabilities of VESC Tool not by using the GUI but with some kind of script. Maybe there are other possibilities I don't know?

Changing minimum duty cycle prevents VESC from connecting via USB while ADC throttle is connected. I need to unplug my ADC throttle, refresh the connection, then change the minimum back to 0.5%. I don't understand enough about this paramater to know why this is happening, does anyone have any insight?

When attempting to change the Maximum Duty Cycle in Motor Settings->General->Advanced from 95% to 100% I am told the value was truncated for being above the allowable limit. Why is 95% the duty cycle limit?

I have version 0.82 of the Mac OS X VESC tool.

Hi there,

i think I need some help here. 

I just got my Enertion Focbox and wanted to update my firmware. I had trouble to find the right tool, long story short, I found a freshly built VESC Tool in another forum and happily updated the Firmware. Upload went fine, but I got errors while detecting the motor parameters. Turns out the software I found had only HW 60... I need 412...

Hi,

I tried FOC - Advanced option - High Current Sampling Mode - True and for the same speed and motor setup I get different I Batt and I Motor.

High Current Sampling Mode - False

ERPM : 46768.0

I Motor: 2.33 A

High Current Sampling Mode - True

ERPM: 46699.0

I Motor: 1.85 A

Can you replicate this on VESC6 or is it only issue with my custom board?

Thanks in Advance

Hi all,

Just started with the excellent new and improved  VESC tool but had the same issue with the BLDC_tool before. Seems for me the position function isn't working as expected. If I turn it on the motor makes a terrible noise and shakes like a pollaroid picture on steroids. 

-Motor : Racerstar 6056 140 KV

-Sensored (i expect hall sensor as there is no explicit mention anywhere about the type of sensors this has (has 5 threaded sensor cable coming from the motor)

-Calibrated as FOC

Any thoughts?

While I used VESC-tool to upgrade firmware from 3.27 to 3.28, the motor started and made strange and loud noises.  I should probably have disconnected the motor first.   I think VESC-tool should disable output stage before flashing.

Observations:

I have used the HW 4.10 in the past and now wanted to reuse it with the newest version. But the motor does never move. There are a few odd things I can't tell which the root cause is. Hence let me list the steps...

Hi

I have successfully set up BLDC mode and had few great rides.

When detecting FOC I get error R is 0 Please measure it first..

I have read this below post on the esk8 forum which explains my problems in more detail.
