Third Party Hardware

Got my newborn VESC running. Everything seems to be working. The only thing is a bit scratchy noise when I slowly open the throttle at about 2-4% and leave it there.

It sounds almost like an engine misfiring on a car. If I twist it quickly, the motor bypasses that region and works normally.  Below is the video showing what's happening.

Has anyone dealt with this issue before? 

Hello, i bought the maytech vesc, and after configuring everything, i tried to operate it, but it only makes sounds and not spinning, but if i help it just a little bit with my hand (spinning forst and then using the controller), it works, does anyone know why its happening?

Thanks!!

I have a VESC6 derivative (ESCape) to which I accidentally applied 5V to the 3.3V rail when using an ST-Link. I then attempted to repair it, and now have a series of issues.

Hi all,

Just got my first vesc running for a custom rover application. It's working ok except for 1 issue so far - It appears to be extremely keen to get to top speed asap whenever I so much as look at the throttle and I'd like a broader range of control over the speed.

Hello,

Without making it sound like a spam post I would like to tell you guys about a video series that I have been recording live which go in detail through a motor drive build based on similar hardware to the vesc but I implement dual drive on a single chip and much more. I think this would be a rich resource to any diy enthusiast that likes to build stuff themselves and wants to go past the simplest project to something more advanced. 

On my first encounter with VESC

I have acquired a Flipsky FSESC (VESC) 4.12 with firmware 3.40: https://flipsky.net/products/torque-esc-vesc-%C2%AE-bldc-electronic-spee...

On first setup I connect it to Motor, hall sensors and battery, then PC (Win) (EDIT: I'm powering the VWSC from a e-bike battery, full loaded 53V, I will not power on by USB as stated in some threads)

Hi everyone :) 

My question is very simple : Do you think it is possible to drive 4 BLDC in only one VESC PCB ? I'm trying to make a 4in1 ESC for quadricopter application.

Thanks ! 

p.s : VESC is such a wonderful project :o Congratulation

Hi everybody,

I'm building a controller for my car with Marcos open source Vesc, https://github.com/paltatech/VESC-controller.
I ordered PCBs from a service but minimum quantity was 5.
I need two of them so I have 3 left.
The version is 0.2.

Hi,

since many people - including myself - require specific requirements concerning power, size, connectivity and price, I decided to develop a small SMD solderable module that contains the electronics of the VESC 6.

Github project:

HI,

After having used 4 different 4'12hw vesc I bought a flipsky v6.6

I know the problem sound common but I didn't find any answer to my problem.

When I power the ESC light turns green but impossible to connect it to the vesctools using the usb port.

The com mport don't appear on Windows when I plug the ESC...

I've tried 3 different cables and 3 computer with the same conclusion.(all the three computer have been used with no issues on my 4.12hw)
