Trouble shooting setup

Submitted by GeoffGuest on Sat, 2020-10-03 06:12

Hi, I'm having issues setting my vesc 4.2 controller up. I've gone through the wizard setup and I keep getting an error that says no hall sensor detected. What am I missing here? All parts are new so I figure there's a small thing not quite right. Based on the pic or previous experience can anyone wager a guess to what's causing this issue. Thanks all!

VESC 75 precharge

Submitted by wagner on Fri, 2020-09-18 22:16

Hi,

so I recently started my graduation project which consists of "tuning" an originally 1,9 kW scooter to 20 kW peak power :D
I already got the VESC 75 300 for that project (motor will be qs205 v3 and battery a diy 16S11P 21700 Molicell P42a with 300A peak BMS) and am currently working on the precharge because I want an automatic one (so no XT90S solution).

Hi all!

 

I have big problems with an stable connection between those devices.

i can successfully connect with my metr App to the Vesc and can read all data.

i can also write data to the vesc.

when I test it I got also some telemetry data to my app.

but when I drive longer the connection broken.

when I try to reconnect to the metr Dongle it also not possible.

i must totally stop and restart the app and I can again connect.

PWM outputs on Hall1 and Hall2 pins

Submitted by brentfpage on Mon, 2020-08-31 01:32

I'd like to output PWM signals on the Hall1 (GPIOB pin 6) and Hall2 (GPIOB pin 7) pins of my hardware version 4.12 VESC.  I know about the existing code that allows this to be done for addressable ws2811 LEDs, but I'd like to simply output a duty cycle between 0 and 3.3 V.  I was thinking of essentially taking code from servo_simple, which outputs a servo on GPIOB pin 5 using TIM3, and adapting it to output PWMs on pins 6 and 7.  Are there any obvious reasons as to why this wouldn't work?

servo_simple uses the pad setup command:

Do you know how wire simultaneously bluetooth module and 9dof sensor? Bluetooth now connected to TX RX, but it is the same pins

Hi! How to wire simultaneously bluetooth module and 9dof sensor? My bluetooth now connected to TX RX, but it is the same pins for SCL SDA which are necessary for 9dof sensor. Thanks. 

burnend vesc6 mk3

Gent's,

strange behavior on vesc.

I had the esc, with a special motor running. Everything was lookig normal, and nice. In BLDC mode and in FOC mode.

In FOC mode, during "power - off", I got a flash light from esc ! :-(

Maybe USB was still conected !

And now the guy is dead. During power off, the motor was not runnng, and I thought, I had nothing active !

Ok, I open the case, and the components have no "optical" problem, on a first view.

Any hints ?

Is that the correct schematic for the esc ?

Independent external power for VESC 6 MK3?

Submitted by henry10210 on Sun, 2020-08-02 00:27

Hi, I am trying to use the VESC 6 MK3 as a BMS (as well as an ESC), and it occurs to me that the VESC MCU and the sensors would have to be supplied by something other than the main battery.  But according to the schematic, every active component--including the MCU--seems to be supplied VCC, which I would guess is stepped down from the main battery voltage?  Can someone please confirm my understanding?

Thanks for reading,

Henry

Problems reaching theoretical max (150k) ERPM on VESC6

Submitted by ignaciobfp on Sun, 2020-07-26 19:10

Hello,

As the title says, I am trying to get my VESC 6 MK4 to work for a quite high RPM motor. According to this document https://vesc-project.com/node/183 the VESC 6 should be able to achieve 150K ERPM at maximum. The problem is that as soon as I try to go beyond the default value of 100000 ERPM, even if only by small amount, the motor desyncs when I surpass this value and the ESC starts acting weird until I cycle power on the VESC.
