VESC 6 plus working but no servo response

Submitted by saspragkathos on Mon, 2020-06-29 17:28

I am using a VESC 6 plus on a Traxxas RC Car. The software of the car is set up on a NVIDIA Jetson TX2. It was working very well till the Jetson died. The replacement of the Jetson just arrived. I set up all the software for the car but this time the motor is working but the servo isn't responding.

Firmware Updating to run X2 Pro remote for VESC6.6

Submitted by Caddy on Sat, 2020-06-27 19:30

My problem is I'm trying to update my VESC6.6 firmware from the  old VESC tool software firmware of 3.38 to the new VESC tool software and running firmware version 3.6. (not the newest firmware)

Current situation:

 

  • The VESC6.6 is currently working and powering a dual drive setup with the old firmware 3.38
  • I can connect my computer to the VESC and program it utilizing the old VESC tool running the 3.38 firmware without any issues.

 

Intent:

Requesting VESC fault codes via UART

I'm currently using the UART to continuously show me my speed, battery remaining, amps drawn...  I do this via bluetooth and display it on an LCD display on my remote.  I also log the values that are returned from a COMM_GET_VALUES command.  My question is this... How can I capture fault codes?  I see there's an "mc_fault_code fault_code;" in the mc_values struct.  Does that mean it will return the most recent fault code?  What if there are multiple faults?  Do I have to clear a fault in order to see the next one in the list?

Thanks very much for any tips.

Dual VESC Firmware OTA update from mobile app help

Submitted by A2 on Wed, 2020-06-24 20:05

Hey there, so I was wondering how the VESC system handles updating firmware through the mobile app on a dual vesc system. Do you have to update each STM32 individually? At this moment, when I try to update my VESC using the mobile app, the skateboard functionality gets bricked and I have to go back to flashing from my desktop via wires to get it functional again. This is also a bit confusing because I am simply over-writing the firmware with the same firmware.

I wonder if there is any solution for wear os or apple watch ? I scrolled through forum and didn't find any useful information , I think it would be great to see power , speed and etc. on  watch screen. 

(SOLVED) I2C, change pins

Submitted by CTSchorsch on Mon, 2020-05-25 07:59

Hi all,

i want to move the I2C pins from PORTB 10/11 to PORTB 8/9. I have no CAN device, so this PINS are free to use.

i set:

#define HW_HAS_NO_CAN

#define HW_I2C_DEV              I2CD1

#define HW_I2C_GPIO_AF          GPIO_AF_I2C1

#define HW_I2C_SCL_PORT         GPIOB

#define HW_I2C_SCL_PIN          8

#define HW_I2C_SDA_PORT         GPIOB

#define HW_I2C_SDA_PIN          9

and enable I2C1 in mcuconf.h
