Setting up a VESC 6 MK IV and need 58.2 voltage fault

Submitted by warrenhdavis on Fri, 2020-05-22 07:34

I am setting up with an Ebike Bafang 750W 5-1 Geared Hub motor. Running 2000 watts max. I am not using any regen braking so no voltage spikes are going to come in. The problem I have is when my 14S 13AH battery comes off charge it's right at 58.1V. This triggers the 57V alarm. Is there any way to raise this 57V fault upper limit without re-compiling the firmware? 

VESC 6, astroflight 3215, loosing sync with freewheel

Hello,

 

  • I have a mountainbike with a astroflight 3215 connected to the rear wheel with a 2 stage reduction. On the intermediate shaft I have a freewheel, the ratio from the motor to this shaft is 4:1.
  • Battery is 12s.
  • motor kv is 169
  • Phase current set to 60 A
  • throttle controls duty cycle

 

The motor wizard did a good job and the combination works great, except for one big problem. 

Problem:

Smoked 3 month old VESC - What did I do wrong?

As the Subject suggests, I appear to have smoked my VESC today. It is a VESC 6 from TRAMPA that I have been using to balance my custom onewheel build. I have just recently got to the point where I can actually move my motors and what not, but I have always been having the balance app go into 'fault' mode, which basically just disables outputs to the motors as far as I can tell.
