I am new to VESC and I have a Maytech VESC, HW 4.12. It which is rated 8-60V. Is there a way to change the low voltage cutoff to 7.5V?
I want to make the VESC work with a 2S LiPo battery. I will use the VESC to control a 1/10th scale RC car which is designed to work with 2-3 S LiPo battery.
I measure the parameters of the motor.
On the purchased driver L = 67 μH.
At the manually collected L = 123 μH.
The motor is the same.
Why such difference?
How is the inductance measured?
How to fix the disadvantages of a self-made driver?
So far I could not find a whole lot of information about this despite searching a lot. My Nano circuit is ready and control a standard Servo for test purposes. How do I connect the VESC without blowing anything up?
An official answer from Benjamin or Trampa would be great. Not just for me, but all the others trying to do the same.
Hi,
looking for V6 HW I found 2 different versions from TRAMPA:
Is there a document available where all the HW input and output parameters are described?
Mainly I need the max input voltage on PPM (Servo) for VESC6.

Hi all,
I have been trying for a few days to get my brandnew VESC 6.4 to work. It is supposed to be controlled by an Arduino over PPM. The Arduino has a power supply with a switch. If I turn that off, it normaly turns off the Arduino. But with the VESC connected only to Battery GND and PPM Signal to the Arduino pin, it powers the Arduino!
Another problem I have is that the VESC always loses the USB connection to my computer after having it connected for 5sec or so.
Does the Vesc4 have two Analog output pins and two analog input pins I can use for a project? I can rework the board but couldn't find any on the schematic and wondering if they just aren't there or if I'm missing something. Thanks!
Do we know what the limitations are on the DRV8302 gate drive circuit? There is a good discussion about it here:

Hello,
What are the mechanical dimensions of the VESC 6?
Need to know if it fits into our vehicle.

Mi application is as follows: The VESC uses a 28V battery to drive a very low kv (80) motor to crank start a 110cc internal combustion engine in an RC plane.
After that, the VESC should be completely unactive (high impedance state, no driving, no regeneration).
The problem is, that at full throttle, the combustion engine can reach 7000rpm, which means 88v at electric motor terminals.
My question is: Can the hardware of VESC tolerate this voltage without being damaged?
