VESC Firmware

Hi All: My project involves commanding certain torques and speeds to a motor via VESC 6 EDU from a Rasberry Pi.  For best reliability, should I use CAN or UART or something else to interface with the VESC?  Should I use a specific BLDC frmware version for reliability?  The motor is low speed/high torque with Hall sensors: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256803118723106.html

Hello All,

No matter what firmware is being uploaded (with ST Link), the controller won't boot (no green light). Firmware used were 'VESC_default.bin's. How can I fix the bootloader?

Hi,

I have the Flipsky Dual FSESC 4.20 Plus but had some trouble making custom firmware on my Windows machine.
So, I made a docker image that hopefully some of you can get some use out of.
More details on my post.

Hope this helps some of you.

Is it possible to make some app for power levels?
For example:
Power level 1 - 4000W
Power level 2 - 6500W
Power level 3 - 9000W.

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to adapt a custom firmware that used to work with 100_250_MK2 Trampa board to make work on a 100_250_MK3 board.

I'm having trouble finding the official release 6.02 for this board to use it has rebase point for my custom app.

I found the HW 100_250_mkiii: VESC_default.bin in VESC tool under firmware/archive/6.02

But the branch release_6_02 from git hub do not have the 100_250_mkiii files, they have been added three month later.

little background. 

initially had an issue with motors turning off when throttle hit 100% for 1 or 2 seconds. re ran the motor detection wizard and this issue went away but now i have new problems.

esc is a makerx dv4s

motors are from a boosted board. 

with the board powered up if i turn on the remote for the first time the motors kick on for a second. not huge problem but potentially a sign of other issues. 

Hi.

I'm working on upgrading my e-bike setup from KT controller to VESC.

I'm having a single wire PAS and created a small arduino circuit, that would read it via its' own ADC and send data over CAN to VESC, to set a current when pedaling is detected, and stop, when pedaling stops, so simple pedal-assist function. That is a beginning of a bigger project, but for now I'm checking the basics.

I also added a twist throttle and connected it to ADC1 on VESC.

The custom PAS circuit works ok when only UART app is selected on VESC.

Hi all,

I've been desperately trying to add the PAS feature on my Vesc 6 MK3.

First problem (solved I think) I've downloaded VESC 6.02 and tried to put back the FW 5.01  but it didn't let me even through the archive (probably since I had a custom firmware on it).

Now, when I connect to my VESC, motor runs fine and everything is ok but the PAS feature disapears in the APP selection choice.

From what I understand, I might have to compile a custome 5.01 by uncommenting some lines, is that the only thing to do?

Hi all,

I've been looking though the CAN docs and the "comm_can.c" file and cant find a way to control the PPM though a CAN message. Is this feature been implemented if not is there a plan to implement it? Happy to give it a go if not supported. I have a RC car with a vesc speed controller and want to controll both speed and direction with the CAN bus. 

Cheers,

Joe
