Third Party Hardware

Hi all,

I was recently gifted a longboard skateboard that had been turned into a E-skate. It used to run and then got shelved, and parts removed and replaced. 

Anyways I am trying to get it going, the previous owner told me it was not responding well, and felt underpowered, and suggested I try reprogramming the ESC and checking to see if it was setup correctly.

Trying to make cheap robot. Currently using VESC but need to reduce costs/assembly time.

Hello,

I have bought a Flipsky Mini FSESC4.2 and a Flipsky 6374/140KV motor in hopes of retrofitting a ceiling ventilation fan in our camper truck. But it seems it's quite a bit louder than the brushed original and I'm hoping there is some setting I have overlooked that might quite it.

I need to by hall sensor for alternator conversion (preferably on Aliexpress).
It can't be bigger than spi-3 package because it needs to fit in the center of alternator's stator.
It needs to resist temperatures over 110°C / 230°F. _{^{don't ask me how I know ; )}}

Also any thermal epoxy and thermistor recommendations?

Question, is there a fork of the 4.12 hardware without the DRV chip, but with seperate gate drivers ?

I need an ESC with around the same/a bit lower current specifications, but with higher voltages, some (opensource) VESC alternative's around ?

Thanks in advance.

Hey!

I was thinking about doing my version of VESC for pretty long time. I started working on schematics for VESC 6 mk V based board but I have some worries about compatibility with VESC Tool / Firmware.

Is it sufficient to create a proper header file for my pins definitions in hwconf/ folder in order to make original firmware work with my board? 

Hello, is it possible to connect cheap remote from dead longboard esc to VESC? It has nrf24l01 onboard, but I don't know if the protocol used here is implemented in VESC firmware. 

Also, if not, i would like to know, is it possible to communicate directly with VESC using nrf24l01 connected over SPI bus, and if so: is there any protocol description anywhere? 

Hi, We have a small project where we use an stm32V407 panel(our) connected to ESC 4.20 through UART baud rate 57600. Stop bits parameter is 2 We use only a few functions from the esc. These are the bldc_interface_get_values and the bldc_interface_set_rpm. The bldc_interface_set_rpm works fine and the motor does what it should. But the bldc_interface_get_values does not work according to our expectation. Our panel polls the ESC in about 100ms frequency the ESC panel and there are really seldom replies for this message. (Reply arrives around every 4 seconds).

Hello,

Cannot get spinted to work with android vesc app.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks in advance .

Hi all, we made a pcb, first time it worked great. We added the start circuit and redid a part of the layout and the vesc stopped working. Really strange, but we get a FAULT_CODE_ABS_OVER_CURRENT while doing the Foc setup. Can someone help us with this?
