VESC Firmware

Hardware limits 3.66

Submitted by rumpsvett on Thu, 2020-01-16 19:50

Where did the no hardware limits firmware go with vesc tool 2.0 and 3.66 firmware? Now I can't use it since it's locked to 57 volts max and I have a voltage of 58.8 volt when the battery is fully charged. 



Edit:I'm stupid, I hadn't checked the show other versions box...

noob question - how to I update FW to 3.66?

Submitted by brently on Thu, 2020-01-16 02:22

Hi guys,

I have "60" hardwear (new unreleased torqueboards VESC6's). I'm getting the error saying that if I use FW 3.63 that at high current my throttle could get stuck if using a PPM based controler (I am).

I've never had to upload FW to the tool, I think I found the FW code but can some double confirm for me how I get that into the VESC tool itself?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

ADC Vector Arrangement

Submitted by javmarina on Sun, 2019-12-29 14:32

I want to customize the VESC firmware for my custom hardware configuration. I have set up most things, but I have issues configuring the ADC vector. Specifically, I don't fully understand the hw_setup_adc_channels() function and the relationship between vector index, pins, ADC device and channels. How can I configure the vector and the pads according to my needs?

I have SENS1...SENS3, CURR1 and CURR2 (2 shunts), EXT for throttle, SIN and COS for encoder (maybe EXT2 and EXT3?), TEMP_MOTOR, TEMP_MOS and AN_IN (Vbus sense).

Duty cycle take 95% when motor released

Hi everybody,

First time making a topic here. My problem is the following.

I have build 2 V6 controller and on one of them, the duty cycle take the max value (95%) when the motor is released. This value is show on VESC tool with RT mode.

This duty cycle is not apply except at the begin when exit from motor release mode.

I am using the controller through CAN. All input are off (ADC, PPM and "no App" on General setup).

3.64 can_scan breaks with ppm enabled.

HI, I upgraded to vesc 3.64/vesc-tool 1.27 on a dual foxbox (legacy) setup connected via can bus.

my default secondary can id is 84. primaray is 21.

can_scan identifies 84. however if I enable the PPM app or the PPM + UART app then the can_scan will show the secondary device as id 93 or sometimes 92. can forwarding fails. on all 3 ids, 84, 93, and 92. changing the remote can id to 1 and master to 0 has similar effect. with the secondary being seen as id 9 or 10 instead of 1.

VESC PID

I want to see implementation of VESC PID controller. I am able to get duty cycle mode working. But speed control mode I am unable to get efficiently working. Any help will be appreciated.

No reverse after FW update from 3.62 to 3.63

Has anybody else lost reverse after the most recent firmware update?  I built a new battery for my board to improve top speed. The old one was 10S9P and the new one is 12S10P, so I had to change my settings in VESC tool for the new pack. VESC tool said a new firmware was available so I installed it without any issues. I went through the FOC wizard and input wizard and then changed all the other settings necessary to get everything working how it was before.
