I originally used the VESC and lever's single HUB motor on a loaded dervish.. worked well and looked great but it was a too big and too similar to my boosted board. I wanted something shorter, more maneuverable, with a kicktail to bring places. I used a flat lunchbox as the enclosure (saw...

Thanks, the new KI setting solved the cruise control issue

FOC v2.4 with single hub motor, 8s. working well except cruise control is a bit strange with FOC. It doesn't seem to maintain the speed - it slows down, then suddenly speeds up...

new version works great. no more motor lock problem... thank you

will test it out - seems to occur after substained braking...

Changing it 15KHz solved the temperature overload problem. still really quiet.

Yes, Thank you - I finally got it updated. Using jaccobloy OSX version - looks like the usb port changed to: /dev/tty.usbmodem310 from /dev/tty.usbmodem261 I am using it with carvon hub motor. It is definitely more quiet - pretty amazing, actually... i think my parameters may not be ideal...

I'm getting a buffer erase timeout trying to update the firmware on Chaka's vesc - any tips?

Thanks man! Will give a shot.. did you figure this out: "Stupid question maybe: do we have to put commutation mode back to "integrate" after detection and before "write config" in the BLDC tab? Or should it stay in "delay" mode?" Also, do you notice any loss of power in FOC modE?

Hi elkick, have you figured out parameters for the carvon hub motors?

i also run a single hub setup. I've had it at 7s lithium ion with 30A limit on the VESC - that's less than 900w and it was enough to accelerate from dead stop. Currently I'm running 8s/60A lipo and it is much stronger (>1800w) and easily accelerates from dead stop. only problem I notice with...

I only weigh 145 - it starts slowing down to about 10-12mph on the hills and you can really hear it struggling.. but again, it's a limitation of the battery pack - I'm pretty sure that battery pack isn't made to put out more than 30A peak... so that is what I have it limited on the VESC... I...

I have extra set of motor/wheels/trucks from my E-GO if you are interested in replacing... (my controller died and I've since moved on to a different board)

yea, i'm suprised it's able to drive the hub motor... I'm using the VESC to limit the max current as I don't think the cells in there can handle more than 30amp peak. So I'm basically limiting it to 29v*30a = 900w peak... the acceleration on incline sorta sucks because of it... I think I...

I bought another nyko nunchuck - the 2nd receiver worked much better. no dropouts.... I would wait a bit - in december, enertion will be selling the transmitter/receiver that vedder/jaccoby made to replace the nyko nunchuck - it's supposed to be much more robust and reilable.
