VESC 75/300 Frying in BLDC Regen

Submitted by ezonca on Fri, 2020-10-23 21:53

I'm using a VESC 75/300 in regen mode with a low-inductance motor to produce just over 2kW of power. The VESCs have worked well but we have seen intermittent ABS Overcurrent errors during operation and then some back-to-back ABS overcurrent errors followed by the ESCs frying. We've fried 2 ESCs so far, and we see the ABS Overcurrent errors on a couple others that have yet to fail. Any idea on what could be causing this? Could the VESC be losing sync and somehow be unable to protect itself?

VESC 75/300 Overheating issues

Submitted by tecnico.solarboat on Sat, 2020-10-17 00:52

Hi,

We have been using the VESC 75/300 for quite sometime now, but we are having trouble achieving the 300 A continues rating it says it can handle. Attached you may find a graph of real life usage of the VESC on our boat. One can see that after using the VESC puling a motor current of just above 100 A (mean) the maximum MOSFET temperature variable rises almost to 100 ºC (we have limited the temperature to 95 ºC).

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).

75/300 R3 and metr.at wird iOS metr App

Submitted by nice2cu on Sun, 2020-09-13 20:51

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.
