Fixed bug where motor did spin backwards when motor max is lower than motor min.
Cruise control now takes latest motor amps to start the PID controller instead of starting from zero.
This way cruise control starts extremely smooth when you accelerate up a hill (or at braking (only NRF)). If you did hold a constant speed uphill before activating cruise control you won’t even recognize that it became active. Old behavior always started form 0 and tried to balance the speed. But till you got there you lost already a lot of speed uphill. This way the PID controller could be set up less responsive so that it is even smoother at carving.
Small change for start of sensorless openloop to take latest detected position instead of position of last calculation. (guess it’s not recognizable)
A easy way to update is to following:
connect to the ESC
read motor congig
read app config
update the firmware
connect again after 10 seconds
write motor config
write app config
then do the same for the slave if it exists. It is important that you don’t close the application in between.
or you can save the config via the menu in a xml file and the read it again after you flashed the firmware.
You mean while firmware update? Yeah that happens. I don’t have a MAC so i can’t really analyse. If you have a error log that could help. Never seen one.
During update and anytime the Vesc is rebooted. The Mac application will restart. I’ll see if i can access a log the next time I’m playing around with my vescs
Strangely having problems compiling the version with the icon for the tool. So i just added the version without the icon for the moment. Firmware doesn’t care about the icon so you can use this one without issues.
Will try to fix the icon version tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure it should. I haven’t run windows in a decade so I’m pretty out of date with it. I just run a vbox using windows 7 when I need to update firmware.
Nice i just got vbox and i plan on using that, do i have to switch off live monitoring or something like that for it to work? i remember someone having an error using a virtual machine
Yep. That was me. Ack figured out that using the heartbeat causes some issues when running a vbox. So turn that off when you don’t need it because it consumes a lot of the connection.
