    Nice video, just what I needed to watch. I'm thinkinh of buying a vesc as a replacement for the ESC I burned while connecting with a cable that was not verified for polarity.
    I have some questions regarding the vesc hw and firmware versions / revisions. I see hw version 4.20 and 4.12 and 2.18 and 3.28 for the firmware. I cannot easily find the differences between them and which should I buy, since the prices also differ.
    Thank you for your video and keep the good work.

    hey wondering if anyone on here could help me? when I was putting everything together a bare wire touched the receiver chip for the remote, which is just an open circuit board, it sparked a good one. finally when everything was connect I powered up the board and controller, the Vesc lights up, but the indicator light on the remote receiver does not. hoping that all that was damaged was that particular chip.
    My question is do i need both a new controller and receiver? or maybe just the receiver because the controller is good?
    also would i need to reprogram the new remote? thanks for any assistance!

    • @bismuth7730
      @bismuth7730 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      In theory there is info written on your battery pack, for example 4000mAh 20C. That would mean 4Ah x 20C = 80Amp maximum discharge current.
      In reality those are usually burst values and they can not be sustained for a long time because of the heat. Your batteries should never exceed 60 degrees Centigrade.

      Me too! I have already started! I will be using dual FOCbox. You basically need one receiver! One FOCbox will be master and the other slave. You can do split PPM (connect servo cable to one FOcbox and split the signal wire to connect to the other Focbox) One Focbox will be supplying power to the receiver but both FOCboxes will get the same signal. You wanna carefully apply the same configuration (Copy Paste settings file if you can ) to both VESCs. Another method is to connect both VESCs with a CAN junction wire. The same thing happening in one VESC will happen in the other!

  • @hidde3064
    @hidde3064 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    A hint and a PSU, one for remote calibration and the other for the mini remote sold at Mboards (or any remote with this receiver bug).
    * You don't need to enter the min and max pulsewidth values. In order to be more precise you click the little swirl under the apply button, it resets the min and max read from your remote. Just go full throttle and full negative throttle and then hit apply. The software automatically applies the measured max and min from your remote.
    * The mini remote sold at Mboards has an odd bug where once your remote is out of range or turned off, the receiver outputs a pulsewidth of around 1.65ms. This usually results in about a 50/60 % throttle applied to your motor which is extremely problematic (my board spun off and launched itself in a ditch, which covered my board in mud and almost destroyed it.) In order to counter this you should calibrate the little potentiometer on the circuit board to output the same pulse at the center (thus about 1.65ms, this could vary, check this for your remote by turning it off and reading the value). After having done that you should do the step above and calibrate the max and min again. Again I learned this the hard way and almost messed up my battery pack.
    Stay safe.

    • @MikeBeard
      @MikeBeard  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It just depends on what you value over price. And what set up you are using and how much you are pushing everything. Focbox is definitely a really really nice option but much more expensive. It’s hard to say since everyone’s needs are a bit different

      Many Esk8 motors have sensors built into the motor so the vesc can keep track of a number of different values. Helps with start up from being stopped. Smoother ride usually

      CreebobPlays it depends on how you connect them. If they are wired is series neg-pos-neg-pos, then yes they are 10s. (Use this if you want a higher top speed). OR they can be wired in parallel pos-pos/neg-neg, which would be denoted as 5s2p, which is 5s. (This would grant twice as much range)

    • @LegoGunMaster99
      @LegoGunMaster99 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      CreebobPlays no, it is not possible. You will need to connect your batteries in series in order to achieve 10s. 10s refers to the number of cells in series 10 (series) while p refers to the cells in parallel per group.
      Look at onloops guide on the forums for a more comprehensive guide.

    So, how do you calculate the amperage of your battery, and what percentage of your batteries amperage do you use as the output for your motors?
    Thx in advance

    • @bismuth7730
      @bismuth7730 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      In theory there is info written on your battery pack, for example 4000mAh 20C. That would mean 4Ah x 20C = 80Amp maximum discharge current.
      In reality those are usually burst values and they can not be sustained for a long time because of the heat. Your batteries should never exceed 60 degrees Centigrade.
      Motor amperage can be set as much as motor is rated for or maximum value vesc is capable of pumping.
