VESC 75/300 R2 with R1 Firmware

Submitted by frank on Thu, 2019-11-28 09:39

There have been a few VESC 75/R2 (V1.12) sent with R1 firmware installed. The problem ith that firmware is Bluetooth functionality. For Bluetooth and some Comm communication you need the correct R2 Firmware.

The firmware can be found here:

FSESC 75100 Pro V2 W/ ALUMINUM

Submitted by drstein99 on Tue, 2025-08-26 23:02

Hello, I just received the Flipsky VESC, 75100 Pro v2 w/ aluminum case.  I load the VESC software tool on the PC,after correctly loading the usb port driver the software now recognizes the ESC.

The program reports firmware may be out of date.  So I go to the firmware page, just to check.  For reasons unknown, it is reporting that firmware for HW "75_300_R2" is loaded.

Fw: v6.02 (no_hw_limits), Hw: 75_300_R2

Change the direction of motor when using PPM and "Current no reverse with brake"?

Submitted by Kokonenen on Mon, 2023-04-24 13:41

Hey, I'm trying to figure out a way to change the direction of a motor I'm controlling with a joystick connected to an arduino thats sending PPM to the vesc. The issue is that the vesc is configured to accelerate when the joystick is pushed forward and brake when its pushed backwards. Which works just fine, but I want a switch to my arduino that changes the direction of the motor. However since I am simply sending :

"esc.writeMicroseconds(map(analogRead(PotentiometerPin), 520 , 1023, 1500, 2000))"

Accidentally Bricked MakerX Go-Foc D60

Submitted by masong on Mon, 2023-04-24 07:41

Hi all, I have a brand new MakerX D60 vesc and it won't connect to my computer anymore. I also have a MakerX DV6 that I was using for a bit, but I switched to the D60 to see how they compare. The D60 worked well for a while, but after plugging it back in to my laptop and VESC Tool, it immediatly reset the vesc to factory values and erased all my settings and values I'd set up for my eboard. I disconnected the vesc and reconnected it to see if it was just a bug, but my settings still weren't there.

Driving Synchronous reluctance motor using VESC

Submitted by mmandar90 on Fri, 2023-04-21 14:34

Hello All, 

I am trying to drive synchronous reluctance motor using VESC Controller (Flipsky 75200). 

Currently, There is no back EMF in this reluctance motor, which is causing problem while driving this motor with PMSM controller. 

Can we drive this magnetless synchronous reluctance motor with VESC controller. 

I'm open for both sensor-less and sensor-ed control. I have sine/cosine sensor installed on the motor. 

Thanks in advance,

Mandar.

Trouble Downgrading to Firmware 5.03

Submitted by hdfghdfgh on Fri, 2023-03-31 22:10

I upgraded the firmware on my VESC to 6.02 while troubleshooting why my CAN Bus wasn't working. I am now trying to downgrade back to 5.03 as I resolved my issue. However, I am having trouble with the archive download of 5.03 firmware in VESC Tool and trouble with making the file after checking out the Github repo and checking out release 5.03. Any recommendations for getting the proper firmware file for 5.03?

running VESC firmware on Nucleo-f401re

Submitted by a_babraunitski on Sat, 2023-03-25 22:21

Dear friends, please, help me to run VESC firmware on NUCLEO f401re board. 

Short describe of my project:

I need steering BLDC motor 150W in laboratory vacuum chamber, before I use flipsky 4.20 and it work perfekt. But unfortunatelly during experiments in vacuum chamber I have some problem with controller board (due to overheating from external experimental devices and plazma sparks) STM chip burn out.
