THANK YOU SO MUCH! Just got my Board set up, you even covered my initial issue i had with the Ubox voltage being set too low and not allowing me to run motor detection. (though i figured that out before reaching this part) Thank you so much for taking the time to do what you do and help get so much useful information out there to help guys like me figure out VESC. you are my preferred source.
Thank you for making an updated video with all this info. Lots of people want to get into VESC but are a bit overwhelmed with all the different parameters and software etc There is lots of trial and error with VESC onewheels it seems and thanks to people like you sharing your knowledge it helps a lot. A dedicated fool proof GTV video would be awesome Thank you

Once you setup your board you really don’t have to touch it much. The options are overwhelming, but reality is you can kinda get it where you want it & let it stay there. Just a big mouthful of new info when getting started.
Great video! Thank you! I did not know about Refloat package. Please can you clarify what should I setup at General -> BMS if I have a floatwheel? Is it a VESC BMS or none BMS? Thank you!
Is this a good video to watch for a freshly built vesc? I've never built one before. I've been looking at so many videos to try and get a good understanding before I start anything.
Great video, Thanks. Just a question about Vesc id, I’m using a thor300 and the Vesc id I see when I connect to Vesc tool is 0, also I can’t connect to floaty/float control, can this be a related issue regarding the Vesc id? Thanks, great video.
37:40 that just happened to me after I finished configuring my board , this helped me a lot to figure it out that I just needed to invert the motor direction, thanks a lot ! I also noticed that my app doesn't have that 'packages' tab :( im on float pkg 2.0
Listen to Dado…. Don’t mess with your accelerometer settings… Just leave it. I can’t get my gtv to feel normal again after upgrading firmware after initial set up because of not leaving that setting alone
Hi, I have been trying to run the motor using vesc for some time now, but I am not sure what I am missing here. I am able to run the motor with FOC sensorless mode quite well, but when I am changing to sensor mode with ABI sensor, my motor is locked at max rpm. Irrespective of the erpm I am giving to run it, it just runs at max rpm. Other thing I have noticed is in the real time data plots for erpm, the value just shows close to 1, whereas all other plots like FOC, current seem to be fine. Is there any suggestion you can give me on this? Thanks
@@Anya-xn2zh same suggestion as last time. I’m not much of a VESC expert for anything beyond Onewheels unfortunately. The VESC Discord is where all the smart people hang out
So I've just put everything together, my board turns on but on my app the APPUI tab doesn't appear. What could be the issue? Also I bought the pre built focer about 3 months ago so I would imagine it's mostly up to date hardware
hi... i have a question... in the vesc tool the motor current max corresponds to the direct current that goes to the motor or to the phase current? thanks
Ok so the max battery current is the maximum direct current and the max motor current is the phase current.. right? because generally the phase current is 2.5 times higher than the direct current... thanks
hi my vesc tool app has automatically updated to version 6.05.. it gave me a few problems that seem to have been solved at the moment.. I don't know how to go back to version 6.02.. can I keep it like this while waiting for it to be fixed?
Something I'm unclear about is, what possible negative side-effects are there to setting your battery current max too high? And if it's a big deal, why aren't we talking about the fact that Tony is shipping his vesc kits with it set to 70 amps for use with stock FM batteries?
@@therealandrewlund you must be talking about his GTV kit. The GT battery is actually rated for 70-90A depending on which variant you get. So 70A is not unsafe
@@therealandrewlund no real danger for normal riding, but it’s more likely to blow up in extreme conditions or in a freak accident (like board gets stuck under a car while still engaged)
Is there any future update with Float Control to pass alerts set in the app to the watch to vibrate such as reaching duty cycle or speed alerts? I’m hesitant to transition to Refloat until Haptic Buzz alerts are transferred as it’s a safety mechanism for me.
@@mlastudioproductions you guys are brave enabling haptic buzz for duty alerts. The thought that when I’m near the limit of my board energy gets wasted on haptic buzzing scares the crap out of me 😂
@@surfdado for me it feels like driving a car over rumble strips on the freeway or if your car drifts off the road lol. Once I feel it I’m like omg slow down speed racer. I wouldn’t mind my watch vibrating instead of getting startled and having to change my pants…
@@mlastudioproductions that's what they keep telling me. I made my first front footpad over 2 years ago, that took a lot of R&D, and lately I've been riding a wooden KushLo™ that I made. There is no reward without risk. Haptic Buzz is not the way to know you are approaching disaster IMHO, in fact, and as @surfdado points out, it's dangerous as it might take the very energy you need at that crucial moment. Not to mention, what is that doing to the motor????
So I messed up my GTV by restoring to default motor settings, anyways I have went through and done everything I can to fix the values but everytime I test my board or even tried riding it in the grass it goes from 0 to 100%. Any ideas?
@@surfdadowell it is a GTS 6” motor… I think I should run the motor detection wizard again… I may have lost the results when moving from float to refloat
@@surfdadore ran motor wizard. Working great now. Gts motor is kind of new territory though isn’t it? If I half the observer gain I would it 0.56 I put it at 0.7 I also don’t know what to set the motor resistance to… Other boards I have put 1.5 of detected observer gain.

@surfdado When you were explaining saturation compensation you forgot to mention that you must select "factor" if you want to specify a %.
Mostly intentional because I didn’t want to show people how to enable it in this video. I just wanted to point out the downside
