VESC Original Hardware

vesc 3.3 or 5v is shorted to GND

Submitted by fer-bo on Fri, 2021-03-05 14:57

Hello everyone,

I am using VESCs and some of them while flashing with USB, stopped working and even when I tried to flash with SWD I got errors. I found out that in them either the 3.3v or 5v is shorted to GND. Does anyone has any idea why this might've happened?

My own guess is that the 5 to 3.3 regulator is the source of problem but I'm not sure. I would appreciate any help or suggestion to stop this from happening in future.

 

Best,

Can you flash VESC Hardware with BLheli firmware?

Hello,

I am currently investigating various ESC solutions for our project. VESC is definitely one of the best options. I wanted to ask if it is possible to flash VESC hardware with BLHeli_32 firmware and have the ESC function properly as per BLHeli_32 firmware's functionality? Also, just to clarify, the intention here is to of course use the VESC hardware with VESC firmware as an ideal solution, however, to also investigate if another firmware would work on the same hardware?

VESC 75/300 UART connections to microcontroller

Submitted by tecnico.solarboat on Sun, 2021-02-14 17:53

We have been using a configuration with two VESCs 75/300 connected to a Teensy 3.2 which shares the same battery ground with the VESCs. The Master VESC is connected with TX, RX, GND and 5V to the Teensy and the second is connected through CAN to the master VESC. (The 5V is just to check if the VESC is powered not really powering anything and has a resistor in series to limit the current)

CAN not working on VESC MkV

Ciao,

We have a VESC where the CAN is no longer working.
We're sending eRPM speed commands over CAN to the VESC, but it doesn't work...

However other VESCs that we command in the exact same way work just fine.
Is there some settings that might be incorrect or is there something I can check on the VESC itself (bad connection maybe or a small electrical component that I will replace)

Thanks,

Chundri

switch/toggle between two different engine settings/characteristics

Submitted by Lasse on Tue, 2020-12-29 23:18

Hello
I would like to be able to choose between different engine settings, such as unlimited and limited
not while driving, it is not important, but to be able to easily toggle between 2 different motor characteristics (eg max Erpm and max motor current)
it is possible?
can I use, for example, the maximum temperature of the engine? (by tricking vesc that the engine is hot and then vesc changes engine characteristics)
suggestions are gratefully received
Vesc 75/300 R2 Fw 5.0 or 5.1
