watt mode

Submitted by Willoz600 on Tue, 2017-10-10 09:26

Hi,

I'm wondering if watt mode (proposed in 2.54 fw is expected to be implemented on default 3.29 FW so that it could be used on HW 4.12.

Same question for traction control offset. in my opinion, these would be 2 great functionsto.

Thx 

Handbrake when activating brake standstill

Submitted by Pimousse on Mon, 2017-09-11 09:50

Hi Ben,

While standstill, if sensors are present and brake applied, is this possible to switch to PID_POS to apply kind of handbrake to the board ?

Could be very convenient when boots are strapped like on an eMTB and waiting for green light. Sometimes, the board still go slowly forward even with brake applied.

Let me know if it's an interesting fetaure to you or if it's already doable with some tweaks in VESC Tool.

Thanks for your work,

Not too much features, and clean, tidy software.

Submitted by ThierryGTLTS on Fri, 2017-09-08 13:10

I'ts an amazing project.

But there is a big risk, confusion!

I think that adding tons of features can lead to more problems.

So, perhaps it could be interesting that most of the new features would be integrated in new apps, not in the core of the software.

Today, there are already a lot of features that don't interest most of the users, so please don't make that amazing project something too heavy and indigestible!

Have a Nice Day.

Renaming the versions to avoid confusion when downloading.

Submitted by ThierryGTLTS on Fri, 2017-09-08 12:54

Please rename the files to download to be sure we are downloading a new version and which one.

It's very important because there will be a big number of files and it'll help you when troubleshooting.

For example a new version is available, but it seems that 3.28 firmware has some ne bugs.

So, some of us wanna wait the corrected one.

Great work you've done, thanks..

Have a Nice Day.

Motion commands for controlling CNCs

Submitted by andresv on Fri, 2017-09-08 10:35

Currently there is command called mc_interface_set_pid_pos(1) that can be used to set motor position from 0 to 360 degrees if you have encoder connected. However it would be very useful if there will be support for a command like mc_interface_set_pid_pos(float degrees, float max_erpm), where degrees can be any number of degrees. For example if you would like to turn motor exactly 2 revolutions then degrees would be 2*360 etc. There should be also support for maximum speed and probably even acceleration to be useful for CNC machine.

Show actual encoder RPM

Submitted by Enak on Fri, 2017-09-08 01:05

Using the AS5047 the position from the encoder could be used to determine rpm in addition to erpm.  Since rpm is more useful (for my purposes) is it possible to display in the tool or calculate the rpm from the erpm and display that for example on the realtime data page?  For example you setup the ratio or can calculate using the encoder (which spins the motor slowly to determine the ratio between encoder revolutions to electrical revolutions.  Could further be used to calculate speed by entering a wheel diameter and gear ratio also to help calculate max erpm to set to
