Submitted by kataklysm_9090 on Tue, 2018-06-19 22:48

Hi, i have vesc from hobbyking hw. 4.12 

When i downloaded vesc tool i must flash new fw (3.38)

After flash my vesc in vesc tool show fw:4.10 and i cant complete motor wizard. In motor detection i have: detection failed and motor is dead. 

After this i write faults in terminal, this is output:

Phase current limit mismatch

Hello. I have a strange issue with my VESC 4.12. I have been using this VESC with firmware 3.34 up to 3.38 now and I am noticing something wrong about the phase current limit. 

In my configuration I had set the phase current limit to 100A. After doing a data log with my VESC during a ride, I noticed that the phase current was being limited at ~68A. The battery current limits are working fine, but the phase current limit is off for some reason.

Cruise Control Button while using UART?

Submitted by anli on Tue, 2018-05-15 16:08

Hi there,

i'm using the awesome VESC in my electric scooter with the following setup:

throttle potentiometer on ADC1

Brake Button between PPM and GND

esp8266 on RX/TX as a wifi bridge to stream data to my smartphone

 

As App i'm using ADC no reverse brake button in current control mode.

 

Everything works great, but i also want a Pushbutton for cruise control. Is this already implemented and i do not find the info, or is a cruise control button not provided with the described config?

3rd harmonic injection or SVPWM/ Midpoint Clamp for FOC

Submitted by ufechner on Sat, 2018-04-21 06:05

Hello,
Is 3rd harmonic injection for FOC already implemented in the Firmware?
It allows a 15% higher motor voltage and thus higher speed for a given battery voltage
without the disadvantages of field weakening.
See:

Furthermore it can help to reduce the speed ripple for quad-copter applications.

Firmware 3.37 too old, unable to Connect VESC_Tool

Hello,

I have a vesc 6 to use it on an electric bike. I wanted to add an option to configure only the max current and the max ERPM by UART in order to control via a raspberry Pi.

I just started by adding the lines in commands_process_packet function, in command.c :

    // check if the code comes here
    send_buffer[ind++] = packet_id ;
    commands_send_packet(send_buffer, ind);

Problems with Initial flash of Hw4:12

Submitted by Idoff on Mon, 2018-04-16 18:47

Hi!

I'm building some vesc:s but having the problem with that the vesc isn´t booting and are not detectable by usb.

Fairly certain that my soldering is correct since I can read the chip and program it with verification.

Programed with 3 different OS and have hade the same result every time. Have even tried the files from this with out results http://fishpepper.de/2017/10/31/tutorial-initial-flashing-a-new-born-vesc/

Any ideas?
