Oops, forgot to subscribe to this thread. You can indeed flash the new firmware through USB using the BLDC tool with-out ST-link If however you are unable to flash it using USB, I can provide you a in depth tutorial on how to flash it from a Windows machine (Just PM me for info) using ST-Link...

No problem whatsoever, Benj. Glad to see you happy with the VESC! If you could post a small review (Maybe including a picture or two) of your VESC manufactured by us on my sales thread I'd be eternally thankful (https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=69942&start=25) Best...

Furp, if you've purchased a VESC from me, you can use this BLDC tool (for windows): http://ampcite.com/downloads/ and the firmware 1.10 that you can flash using ST-Link You don't need any battery connection if flashing through ST-Link. Also, Current mode works that way until you put some load...

Lower the deadband number :) Regards

Okp: Make sure you tick "Send status over CAN" Also, can you take a picture of the CAN connection? Regards EDIT: Seems like you've solved your problem :) Round the values to the nearest integer (4.55 -> 5) Regards

1.8 - 1.10 had mostly changes made for the open source remote that Vedder is building (NRF). No significant changes were made besides that: 1.10: Nunchuk speed control glitch fix 1.9: NRF updates, better servo output support 1.8: NRF fix You can either upgrade the firmware (You'll have to...

I love how we both went with very similar ideas when making our transmitters (I haven't seen this thread yet) Definitely following this!

Not taking any credit, took a few minutes to do but saves a lot of time for many of us ^^ The VESC has been the #1 since it was released imho

I've compiled the BLDC tool for those that want to use it on Windows. It's been tested on Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10, I'm not sure about Windows 7/Vista/XP so feedback is welcome. The download includes all the major BLDC Tool releases for firmwares 1.5-1.8, 1.9 and 1.9-1.10...

Okp, first of all I'd like to apologize for not informing you how to solder the capacitor correctly, it appears to be soldered backwards. Here is a link to the capacitor that is included with every VESC...

Noted, thanks for the tips. I'll do a in-depth guide in the future I thought that the automatic detection was meant for hall-effect sensored motors but I clearly was wrong. All my VESCs shipped out with the Turnigy SK3 settings pre-loaded Regards

I've made a video for you: OtuofrQr3F8 I hope it helps (and that you can understand my heavy accent hehe) Regards

Benj, what mode are you running your VESC in? Current, RPM, ..? If it's in current control mode then it's normal for the motor to spin up to 100% when not under load. Also, play around with the 'with reverse' and 'with brake without reverse' settings.

Another thing that you might want to consider is not turning the board off at all. I once left my board on for two weeks by accident, when I came back home I still had 85% of the original battery capacity. 6S 10Ah with a VESC Just a thought :) Regards

Quick update (Will explain everything tomorrow) I've rebuilt my CNC machine in the meanwhile as well, its much more rigid now
