VESC Tool

Power Monitor and Logging

Hello,

The VESC Tool has been great for us! We are looking to perform some logging. On the main dashboard of the VESC Tool there is a power monitor, however when we go to log, we don't see any Power data in the csv file. Is there a way to add this data?

Or, is there a way to calculate Power with the data that is saved to the csv? I am thinking Power = Motor Current x Battery Voltage x Output Duty Cycle ?

 

Latched power switch on Trampa VESC 6 75A

Hi. 

I got my first VESC project and I'm having a blast with it. Replaced the original ESC on a electric scooter(moped) with a VESC. 

I'd like to use the original key to power on/off the VESC, but I can't seem to get it to work since it's latched. It only seems to work if I turn the key off/on/off (pulsing it manually lol). I've read many places that they've got latched switches to work on their VESC, but it doesnt seem like I can do it. 

Am I missing something?

Hello everyone,

as I am diving deeper into compiling my own Firmware on Ubuntu 20.04, I have had some problems. Imo the documentation isn't up to date or at least unspecific for s.o. trying to reproduce the promised result.

Here is a problem I cannot solve: When using the Qt Creator to compile the vesc_tool 6.02 previously downloaded from github, I try to run the code to get:

Warning: Failure to find: res/firmwares/res_fw.qrc

Data log field value detailed descriptions

I have recently started logging my efoil sessions using the IOS vesc tools 6.2 logging capability. 
 

I can view the data on my computer using the Vesc tool log analysis function, but I also import the csv file into Excel to be able to sort easily for max and min values etc. 
 

The column headers in Excel have somewhat descriptive names but I'm hoping there is a more detailed description of what each one is.

If that exists can someone post it for download  

Thanks

Hi

 

I changed some parameters in VESC tool (such as motor pole count, sensorless to sensored etc)

I press the button to write parameters to the esc and an LED blinks

If i disconnect the ESC from power supply and reconnect, same old parameters appear (Am i doing something wrong)

However motor that was previously rotating, has stopped rotating.

Please help
