VESC Firmware

It‘s wrong when I upload my VESC firmware from version2.16 to version 3.57

Submitted by Jack_Li on Thu, 2019-07-04 10:05

Hello, friends, my firmware version number was 2.16. When I uploaded firmware to my VESC4 using STM32 ST-Link Utility software, USB could not be recognized by my computer. It was recognized before upgrading. Before uploading firmware, I performed a full erase. The chip address in the software was 0x8000000, size: 0x31. 5cc, 32bit data width, other default settings, I do not know how to solve this problem, can someone help me? the hardware version  is VESC4.11.thank you!

Custom firmware upload problem

Submitted by kswiorek on Sat, 2019-06-29 12:09

Hello,

I'm trying to make an electric bike with vesc 6 (purchased from flipsky) and a 1720w motor. It's based on Tom Stanton's project. I want to have a switch to change between throttle and cadence controls. For the throttle the ADC app works fine, but I couldn't find a way to implement a cadence sensor without modifying the firmware. 

VESC4 phase shunt

Submitted by Rico on Tue, 2019-05-21 16:09
Hi, I'm using a VESC 4 and I want to measure the current inline with two phase shunts.
Is it necessary to add "HW_HAS_PHASE_SHUNTS" to the hw_410.h file and does this just affect the FOC mode or also the BLDC mode?
(or is this maybe just possible with a VESC 6 HW?)
 
And how does the current sensing actually work with two low side shunts when the current goes through high-side FET Q1 and low-side-FET Q4?

New Control Algorithm for asynchronous machines

Submitted by ajpina on Sun, 2019-05-19 22:13

Hi all,

I am working on implementing scalar control and foc control for induction machines, so I am wondering what the recommendations are in order to carry on with the programming. After reviewing the firmware source code, my first thoughts were to copy/rename/overwrite "mcpwm_foc.h" and "mcpwm_foc.c", so the microcontroller-related code could stay and I would focus on the motor control.

Could any of you with more experience in VESC firmware suggests me the best approach, best practices?, warnings are also welcome.

Thanks. 

Notified of new version of firmware, can't DL it...

Hi All,

I'm relatively new to the VESC tool and how to use it, etc...when I opened the tool the couple times I was notified there is an updated version. However when I follow the link it takes me to VESC home page and I can not find the link to DL the newest firmware. Does anyone know what I am supposed to do to get the new version? I am a bronze member and when I try to DL the current package I get denied.

Am I supposed to upgrade my VESC tool to the silver level or what exactly?
