    Could you give some insight on what "Duty cycle current limit start" is at 9:41? Mine is currently set to 85% by default. My e-skate seems to top out around 45 kmh despite my erpm limits making my theoretical top speed 60 kmh. I was just wondering if this is another value that should not be touched, or if it could help with my issue.
    Thank you!

      IIUC It's the duty_cycle percent at which vesc starts scaling down the max motor current. this avoids abrupt cutoff of current at max duty_cycle. on an esk8 you want this or you get a stuttering at full pin, which can throw you or cause speed wobbles.

      @fess9867 funny you should say that because shortly after my comment, i set the limit start as the same value as max cycle. I almost fell of at top speed because of the hard limit lol.

    I set field weakining to 10a, my engine accelerates even when I let go of the accelerator, and to stop it is necessary to brake, or if I'm driving, it continues accelerating but has no power, is this common?

      @@EBIKESBR at 10A it’s not common, no. My best guess is that it’s a result of a poor motor calibration but your best bet is to ask about it in the VESC project discord

    Hello Surfdado, I hope you can help me. I’ve just installed a new VESC controller in my Trotter. I followed all the steps (motor detection, custom configuration values, IMU detection), all with Float package disabled. Everything seems to work perfectly. When I’ve finally enabled the float package, the motor started to jump like a wild horse. I’ve switched off the board immediately. Now the board doesn’t work properly. I’ve tried to do a new motor setup and start all the process from the beginning, but the result shows very low current and very high resistance, and the hall sensors are not detected (sensorless). I’ve repeated the motor setup several times, and sometimes an overcurrent fault has been raised. Any idea of what’s going on? Thanks in advance.

    • @surfdado
      @surfdado  8 месяцев назад +2

      It sounds like you might have broken your controller, those symptoms are not very encouraging. Also, as far as I know the Trotter foot sensors are reversed from normal onewheel sensors, so the float package cannot be used. Instead a custom Gosmilo version is needed, not sure where you can download that

    • @floatingtrescantos
      @floatingtrescantos 8 месяцев назад +1

      @@surfdadoyou are right. I’ve re-installed the old controller and the Trotter works. What I think it has happened is: I installed the new Gosmilo pressure sensor that works with normal logic (not inverted), but the custom float package already installed had the inverted logic active. So when I activated the float package the motor started to spin without pressing the sensor. The board was leveled with the wheel on the air (allowing free spin). But I’m not sure it was enough for burning the controller. What do you think?

Even saving the erpm on the cell phone itself, it does not save the configuration in the cell phone application. Is there any way to solve this?

    I'm trying to configure the vesc tool so that I can use a potentiometer on the adc2 input, so that it works as a pedal-assisted power regulator on my bike, I use an accelerator on adc1 and a common cadence sensor, but it is dangerous to use the assisted pedal if you are using a profile with a lot of power, my intention is not to need to use a smartphone to change the profiles but just a way to change the assistance...

    Hi, I have a weird problem with my 84v VESC board with Tronic 250r it was working fine almost for 100 miles and I was quite happy, but then one day when I started riding it, I got a pushback around 10mph from that moment (battery was not overcharged), I didn't change any settings previously, I check all settings and they all looks good. I even reinstalled firmware on it, and then did a fresh setup from scratch, still had the same result.

I configured the curve more "negative" but the drag decreases a little but it is very slow to reach high speed, I am leaving my 6384 motor with only 60A and a limit of 120A, and it is very strong! I'm using a 13-tooth sprocket and a 60-tooth gear, and this larger gear is connected to a shaft with an 11-tooth mini motorcycle sprocket, and is connected to a t8f chain, on a 54-tooth sprocket, my project this is it: ruclips.net/video/fJX7CPP2qnM/видео.htmlsi=xgv0GY4wHPh2G4bZ
