In order to record all the datas in csv file, must I record a video too ?
I know you jave a check box to disable the braking but could you make it so that Z button still brakes and C button doesn’t?
Hmmm … what about reverse, then?
In the PPM settings there is this possibility by turning the steering wheel in one or the other direction for cruise with and without braking. For the Nunchuk this possibility doesn’t exists and it would involve a lot of coding because then reverse needs to be handled like in PPM. And i am also not planning to provide such features. Of course it would be possible but it’s hard for the users to understand how it works and the whole setup process is already complicated enough.
Screw reverse. I never go backwards. But fair call. You dont wanna have to code it up.
I guess ill just stick to perpetual steez and screw cruise control.
arent those the same things?
No. perpetual steez has no brakes. cruise control regulates your speed.
two totally different animals.
ahh gotchya, wouldnt perpetual steez be best most of the time then so that the board is not constantly braking and accelerating?
well yes, I only ever use perpetual steez. never cruise control.
but I thought seeing as there is a check box in the software it might be nice to have the option of both…
either way. its no big deal.
Does anyone have a tutorial on how to flash the vesc 4.10 to be able to use the extended bldc tool or is it just a plug and program like the regular bldc?
Following up on your suggestions on cheap android phone for use with VESC, looking for something cheap used w/camera and screen (smaller to midsize better form factor than large). Would something like this work, without activating carrier network or anything (BLE to VESC, maybe Wifi for getting things onto or off the phone?). Not sure what version of Android it needs to be, though I guess 5.0 for video?
I use a Samsung Ace2 with CyanogenMod for Andoird 5, it works fine except the video-feature, the phone freezes when trying to make a video
I do use a USB-Cable to update the phone and copy the csv-files from the app, no wifi etc.
Excellent, I will check that out too though look s like not upgradeable past 4.1 or so, maybe because hw specs don’t support the video. Not sure if I need to pay extra for an unlocked or rooted phone particularly, if it works without accessing or activating carrier network?
Hi @Ackmaniac, Congratulation for your work, it’s a great improvement of the original software. Have you plan to shared your code on GitHub ? Maybe some of us, can help you improving your soft, your firmware and even more with a iOS app. Github let you decide which modification you want to include, so you’ll not loose the control of your work.
I have this VESC.
when I connect to the esc via the extended bldc too it says I have an old version (2.18) but can update via the firmware tab. When I do that, the green bar goes to the end and it says firmware update complete and the vesc disconnects. I then have to power it off and on again, but when reconnecting it shows the same message, that I have an old version. It appears the firmware upgrade process didn’t do anyting.
is there a fix for that?

Guys can someone explain to me …if I had first used Extended BLDC tool on WINDOWS to set my VESC …can I use BLDC app on MAC OSX as well and it will detect my vesc or it wont recognize the vesc settings ??
I connected my Bluetooth module and it will not connect to my phone says pairing rejected. So I have a 10s3p with 25r Samsung’s also a polar 6374 190kv motor I set up watt control and this motor spins entirely too fast I set it up for 750 watts too. Is this normal? I’m used to standard bedder settings and it’s the first time using BLDC.
@Alan_Smithee When the update is complete then the VESC automatically starts again. It takes around 10 seconds to come alive again. So please don’t power it off and on again. Just wait.
@NAF yes it will work on windows and OSX
@Plumb77 Please write me in a PM what you think is wrong and add Screenshots of all the motor settings and also the PPM tab. But i guess you have the wrong PPM Pulsewidth settings, So please use the setup wizard for the Pulsewidth adjustment.
@E-Boarding please try the new Version of the app in my Dropbox link. Maybe that solves your problem.

@Alan_Smithee: E-greenmotion are rebranded Maytech VESC’s and they don’t come with a bootloader unfortunately.

If I adjust the throttle/brake curve on the master vesc, do I need to send that to the slave vesc at all? I am having a problem where no matter how soft I set the curve my brakes will almost lock up when I press the brake down to ~30% or so and cause the belt to skip.
I’m not feeling very confident when I ride and I’m not having much fun
