VESC Firmware

Hello,

I just installed VESC Tool 2.05

My VESC Hardware is 4.12

I can not find VESC_servoout.bin after I selected  Show non-default firmwares.

Is VESC_servoout.bin still supported on the latest firmware? As you know lots of people use it for robotics application.

If no longer supported, where can we find the lastes stable firmware that still supports VESC_servoout.bin?

Thank you,

Jack

Dear all,

is it possible to add the TMP100 sensor to the firmware ? i want to use it to measure the temperature near the FETs. its really small and easy to read out.

But i dont know how to configure an additional I2C Port and where to add the code in the firmware

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I have an idea to convert car alternator as a motor. Form a physical point of view the motor is a synchronous engine as BLDC is. But in case alternator I have to apply current to the rotor. To control the current I want to extend VESC firmware. During the investigation the FW I've faced with an issue that if I disable optimization (-O0 CFLAG in .make) the FW is stuck in mc_interface_init(&mcconf) method in setup (main.c).

Does anyone have an idea of how to debug VESC FW?

Hi Friends

May you help me please?

I am reading VESC firmware for my project, May you tell me source code for FOC alignment (or initial rotor position detection) before start up, and FOC startup?

I tried many time  to read the code, but it is so confused to me.

Thank you so much. 

Hello everyone, I've been working off a fairly recent branch (b3ad0bc, which is Benjamin's checkin on Jan 12, 2020), and cannot seem to get the RPM PID control to work.  Using the default PID gains and the discovered FOC parameters, the motor does not turn at all--it tries to apply a small current, and gives up very quickly.  In vesc_tool "faults" terminal command, the FAULT_CODE_UNDER_VOLTAGE is displayed consistently, with the voltage value far lower than my input voltage (9.3 V) of my power supply--which can supply up to 5 A.

Hello,

I am having trouble with the VESC firmware in BLDC mode. When I change the input duty cycle from 0 to let's say 50 instantaneously the ESC is failing to commutate. The VESC firmware should have a ramping function that ramps up the motor in steps. I tried decreasing the duty cycle used for ramping step from default 0.02 to 0.001. But it seems that the ramping is too slow now. Has anyone experianced a similar problem?

Thanks.

Hi, 

we are developing our own hardware and we are going to add ethernet for high speed logging purposes.

Our PHY is not supported in current ChibiOS version (3.0.2). I was wondering if there is a reson why didn't switched already to a newer version. There is any downside to do so?

Cheers

Hi everyone

I am quite new in all this field, I have some general questions, hope you guys can help me

1. When I enter the "Firmware Changelog" tab in the software I can see that the latest updated​ firmware is 4.02, right?

Is it work with any version of hardware?, in my case my hardware version is 4.12

Hi everyone

for a personal project I need more features via UAVCAN protocol:

Hi all,

I am currently developing my own hardware based on the VESC 6.

The device will be rather small and so the physical size of the LQFP-64 Package is a problem. There are STM32F4s in a QFP48 Package, which would be a good fit and is still hand-solderable with hot air.

Can you "port" the VESC Firmware to the other package? Will there be enough pins with the necessary functionalities (timers, etc.)?

Memory and other hardware features should be the same, so not a problem?

Bests and thanks,

Jakob
