VESC Firmware

I have a python script that i'm using to interface with several VESCs. It's currently using pyuavcan v0. After some testing, it has become clear that python is inadequately equipped to deal with the timings required, and that I need to upgrade to c++.  With the recent naming update with uavcan into dronecan / libcanard / pyuavcan / cyphal, i have become very confused as to the easiest way to write a c++ application to interface with VESCs, and which library or service i should use to accomplish this..

I am a newer for VESC.  Compiler can not pass when I migration to IAR in adiv5_dp_abort function.  This function should return a value, but it defined void. I'm not sure the influence, but it maybe cause error discard in some case.

static inline void adiv5_dp_abort(struct ADIv5_DP_s *dp, uint32_t abort)
{
    return dp->abort(dp, abort);
}

Hello, I am testing out arduino control of a dual VESC. UART connection to the master is working well. I am defining this as the COMM port that I originally paired with the remote. I am preparing a test to see what the other COMM port responds to when asking for wheel speed RPM. Both motors have hall sensors.

Folks,

I Have flipsky 75100 controller that appears to be bricked, it flashes blue and red after a firmware "update". Can't find anywhere the trouble codes for the LED lights. 

The controller was working before the update firmware. Any help on how to recover will be appreciated.

Hello,

I'm communicating with the VESCs using CAN, sending RPM commands. I send them at 100hz

If I send very slow speeds or zero the VESC doesn't have enough power to move that slow and sends error frames on the CAN bus.

The microcontroller I'm using enters bus-off mode because of that and disables CAN communication until I reset it.

How can I make the VESC not send error frames in this situation?

Hi, I'm trying to modify firmware to hold position of motor when duty cycle is below 10%.(FOC with AS5047)

I am a mechanical engineer, so I'm not sure where to begin.

First, I cloned original bldc folder.

From mcpwm_foc.c 

Original code

Hi,

I was trying to upload a customized firmware(simply adding servo ouput from can-bus signal) on my VESC6 mk5.

I followed the instructions from bldc github (https://github.com/vedderb/bldc).

I tried both vesc_tool_3.0 and vesc_tool_3.1, but the results are the same "The selected file is too large to be a firmware."

Does anyone have the same problem? How do you solve it? 

Not sure if this is the right forum, and I'm getting ahead of myself here as I've not even powered on a single controller.  I have the fsesc 6.6 based on a stm32f405.  Rather than a skateboard though, I'm controlling a dual motor device with a dynamic moment of inertia.  (Sounds cooler than it is).  I want to adjust the commanded speed on the fly based on the angular position and the statically changing moment of inertia, thus giving me a constant angular momentum mode.  

I am running a VESC6 MKIV from trampa board with the app mode in ADC and UART mode.  I have connected an arduino to read (and log) data from the VESC, but UART communication is failing.  No matter what I try, the VESC is only sending 0's to the arduino data.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I am testing a BLDC motor with VESC HW4.10 hardware version. I am flashing the firmware Version 5.03 into VESC using openocd.

Problems are

1. Motor changes it's direction when the throttle is rapidly rotated from zero to higher value. No problem occures when the throttle is taken smoothly.

2. When the throttle is held at very low value, motor vibrates but does'nt rotate. when i monitor the Rotor position it changes rapidly from 0 to 360 degrees as it changes when motor runs properly.

3. Motor starts with a jerk.
