VESC Original Hardware

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?

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)

Hi!

Does your VESC-Tool-APP show the IMU data when connected to VESC 75/300? Do I have to activate something so that I can see and log IMU data?

Who is using the IMU of VESC 75/300?

I am very thankful for any reply!

Best regards

Gerhard

I realize how crazy this sounds.  I'll greatly appreciate insight.

I'm on my second bike build using a VESC 6 MK V.  The first build used a 24V battery and works great.  This one uses a 48V battery and has had problems for days.

Dear Benjamin, I recently learned of a controller capable of boosting voltage to charge batteries. Simply feed PSU through phase wire and battery lead and the controller modulates to the end charge voltage of the battery. Is the vesc Frank sells capable? Is it implemented? Thanks, JC.

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

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

Hey, 

Nice to meet you. I am new to this forum. Also, since I am Japanese, English is a little strange, but please forgive me.

I started to create Vesc6.5 (vesc plus) which is mentioned in the document for studying my circuit.
Also, when creating this circuit, we are trying to reduce costs and cutting some functions. (Nrf, mpu9250, etc.)

Good evening,

I am using two VESC 75/300 for an engine test rig.

Unfortunately one out of the two VESC 75/300 can´t be connected by USB to the laptop. I tried a lot of things, different cables and drivers.... makes no difference. The andorid phone app works well with both of them.

Both are release 3 hardware with FW 5.1.

Would be great if someone knows how to sole the USB-issue.

One funny thing is that the one with the USB issue has a mysterious red light near to the on/off switch. Does this mean anything?
