Frankensteins Monster, The FrankenVESC with some RGB

Submitted by Urs_Harry on Thu, 2022-03-17 00:41

Hi folks, i like to make stuff and i like Power electronics and i have a UNU scooter i want to make some wheelies.

 

Sooo the idea was to build my own VESC because ist more expensive then buying one und it makes fun.

the first version was made out of parts i had laying around and from old forklift controllers.

For my scooter size is not a big  problem and i want the VESC a bit bigger for thermal Handling

so one PCB for the Power stage and one Logic Board (just like 500A forklift controllers)

Goal... 80V 400 Amps continuous.

I can't get my fresc to work I think all the leds are lighting up but when I pull the trigger on the remote nothing happens

Trouble with custom hardware design

Submitted by Evgeni on Sun, 2022-03-06 21:46

Hello guys!

I try to use VESC firmware with my custom bldc controller hardware. I use the latest sources from github and the latest VESC Tool.

The problem now is that when i try to detect motor parameters in FOC mode, i.e. i press "measure R and L" in VESC Tool, all gate signals (GATE_H) are the same, with the same duty and phase, so obviously no current is flowing through the motor and VESC Tool says something like "can't detect motor parameters. R is 0". 

xESC2 mini - a small, low power VESC derivative for robotics use

Hello,

I've been looking for a good brushless ESC for robotics projects and the only one I really liked was the VESC motor controller. This is, because it has FOC commutation, automatic motor detection and a digital interface for reading back the current state of the motor (current, voltage, position, speed, ...).

In spite of its perfect software and great hardware, the VESC had a few issues that bothered me for this application:

FS75100

Hi, I need to deal with a problem I have. I have a scooter FLJ sk3 2x3500W, battery 20S 72V and I bought the driver FS75100. I have 80A set for each motor.
The scooter rides quite well at the beginning, but after 1 km it loses power. the voltage on the battery is fine, which is causing a sharp do not know falling power! :(

Spintend 75V 100A ubox -Split AD-socket?

Submitted by Bucket_Residence on Wed, 2022-02-23 22:57

Hello, please excuse the poor subject line. I recently bought a Spintend ESC for use in my e.bike project and Im also very much new to this field. I ran into an issue pretty much immediately; the ADC-adapter takes up the one and only AD socket, which I had intended for the bluetooth module. The thing is that Im unable to perform an initial setup of the throttle and brake without using the app and the BT module.

MakerX 75/200 - destroyed USB-Port

Submitted by jangrik on Wed, 2022-02-23 22:01

Hello there,

i just destroyed mechanically my USB Port and I see no chance to repair it. How can I still connect my computer to the ESC?
I have a Flipsky Bluetooth Adapter connected to the COMM port of the ESC and can connect via smartphone but not via VESC Tools on the computer. Why not?
Any other possibilities? The COMM-Port directly or the CAN-Port? Which adapters do I need?

Any help appreciated, Thanks, Joerg

75100 ESC Hardware and firmware open source

Submitted by ypl on Tue, 2022-02-08 16:21

I am the original author of 75100 hardware.I'm still a student and like DIY E-bike.

Due to my personal reasons, the schematic has not been completed. At present, there are only PCB files with chaotic component annotation and source code.There are also some typical features in the hardware design. Some resistors and capacitors are saved in some places, which is not a very perfect thing.

This is the 75100 which I have been working on for the last year March.
