A new Version is online! Some of the features requested are already implemented now.
Throttle curves for brakes and acceleration is split now, fixed RT data time scale
and some other minor things…
VESC-Tool will tell you that there is an update. Latest Version now: V0.81
Okay I debugged it.
It seems like first detection stuck the motor for some reason, so it won’t be able to detect from the first place!
U first need to set up the app, PPM for me. write default motor setting than run the motor a bit.
Than come back to motor detection! It works in both BLDC and FOC now,
Phew~
Update, FOC is detected but not working, for bizar reason it shorts the motor and making tiny sound. does not respond to ppm… well BLDC for a while I guess
Update2: A side from initial setup bug, I noticed there is bug with ppm setting. for FOC it short the motor when connected to Receiver, regardless the remote on or off. It’s like a failsafe mod. I couldn’t figure out what the cause. But it clearly works well on BLDC. Note: I plugged out receiver to prevent interference when setting FOC.
Notice that I use mac ver,(not official) FOCBOX, sk3 260kv 10s5a, with unloaded motor.
I tested with both 2.18 and Akman’s 2.54, both works fine.
And to go back to old fmw, u upload from vesc tool and use old tool.
So, as i’m having trouble now with the new vesc tool getting the sensor values on BLDC do I just ante up and try FOC?? My vescs are the last production enertion before VESC X…
Yes, bootloader and FW upload works… tested FOC with my maytech’s everytime hitting the brake results in DRV fault and cut off on both V4.12, forget maytech and buy quality HW, with proper V4.12 FOC works like a charm.
Ok, thanks for the info. But you can at least use custom throttle curves and so on in BLDC mode?
I have a “beater” board with a maytech vesc and the “boost” is really pronounced here, so if this is gone with the tool that would be great.
Agreed with quality HW in these things.
