VESC Tool

Hi there,

Relatively new DIY eBiker here. I'm providing current to my motor using a hall-sensing throttle on ADC (3 wire: 3.3V,GND,Signal). However, once everything is set up and written to the VESC, the connection between the throttle and VESC is very touchy. Any physical movement makes the motor spin up. This is a definite safety issue, so does anyone have an idea for a fix to this?

Best,

EBR

Hi,

For some reasons, I can't suddenly open VESC Tool after building it through Qt (no error while compiling).

I didn't touch to the BLE part (I'm working on integrating modes).

I get this message in "Application Output" tab.

qt.bluetooth.bluez: Missing CAP_NET_ADMIN permission. Cannot determine whether a found address is of random or public type.
The program has unexpectedly finished.
The process was ended forcefully.

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

Good afternoon,

First of all: Thank you for the VESC - a really well designed piece of hardware!  After using it with the VESC Tool on Windows I thought it might be a good idea to start using the VESC Tool on Linux (Mint)...

I managed to install Qt SDK (Qt Creator 3.5.1 / Qt 5.5.1) and to clone the repository. When trying to build I get the following issue:

QSerialPort: No such file or directory

/home/.../vesc_tool/vescinterface.h

I bought the Platinum in November 2017 - but I am too stupid to find the latest version.

Where do I find the Download section?

Thanks from Hamburg,

René

Hi, 

I'm testing high rate current control over 1kHz using USB-Serial connection.

For testing, I changed the baudrate in VESC-TOOL. I tested from 1152000bps baudrate.

In my case, the connection was successful at below bps.

115,200 bps : ok

230,400 bps : ok

345,600 bps : X

921,600 bps : ok

I was surprised when 921,600 bps works even the 345,600 bps is not working.

Do you know why and Is there any body who knows the maximum baudrate in USB-Serial?

Do I really need the HM-10 to make a bluetooth connection with Vesc Monitor Mobile for Android?

I have a METR bluetooth dongle on my Vesc 4.12 installed.
The METR app and PerMETR apps are working just fine.

But I cant get the Vesc Monitor app to connect to the VESC with my phone.
It does find the bluetooth dongle, but won't connect to it.

Heello everybody!

Well... I need help to solve some questions with the settings with VESCTool. I have a little project which objetive is only charge a battery with the wind energy.

I have:

Hi guys,

I've been using a VESC 4.12 for my eBike since two years now and upgraded recently to the new firmware and the new gui.
I also swiched to a more powerfull motor, so I tried to ramp up the current step by step to see the capabilities.

The VESC 4.2 should be able to handle 240A continuous, from the IRFS7530 datasheet (with proper cooling, I know). Currently it's configured at 100A and is doing pretty good, not warming up too bad as I have a fan forcing fresh air in the case and temp monitoring.

Hi,

I'm in the process of building a custom firmware to disable NRF module (too much 2.4Ghz devices in a close space, Bluetooth connection is not steady).
I modified app and info xml files to match my new parameter (and those modified like the FW number) but the changes seem to not be saved (even if I click on the disk and I get the green ack).
I tried to run VESC Tool in Sudo permission, but no luck.

What do I miss ?

Thanks,

Cheers,

Clément

Hi everyone,

as I stated a few days ago, I was requesting a boost current feature to allow a short term increase in the maximum motor current, Intended for motors without temperature sensors ( i.e. Turnigy SK3 ) , to increase performance and acceleration without risking motor overheating during long term increased load, for example climbing up a long hill .

I went ahead and made a github branch together with my buddy Tom, dug into the code for 2 days and managed to add this boost current feature to the interface as awell as updating the firmware.
