There are many other protection can be set by limiting, such as your hope to achieve the highest temperature of vesc (so you won’t burn speed controller), the minimum and maximum input voltage (so you can’t pull your battery voltage is lower than the safety limit, this will make your battery brick) and maximum regenerative interruption ampere (protecting the cell from back to too much ampere). This means that you should never burn a motor with VESC (unless you set this limit too high). A simple way to burn a motor is to send it more current than it can handle (usually while climbing a mountain). One is to limit the number of amperages from the battery to the motor. This speed controller has the ability to do many things that normal RC speed controllers cannot. (Low voltage, high amperes) (A good example is 6s and 120 amperes per motor)Now that you have the background on voltages and amperes, let’s look at VESC. high voltage, low amperes) (a good example is running for 10 seconds with only 15 amperes per motor)eitherYou can have small muscles, which means you need more energy just like big muscles. I’ll give you an analogy so you can try to visualize it.Voltage - think of it as how many amperes a muscle has - think of it as how much energy you can send to that muscleyou can have huge muscles, so moving something with your muscles uses less energy than someone with smaller muscles (i.e. It is the middle man between your input through the controller (also known as the transmitter/receiver system) and the motor.You should also understand some basic terminology. I will try to break down this barrier and bring together all VESC information from this forum.įirst, you need to understand that VESC is a speed controller, which is a bit like the brain of an electric skateboard. Many new users may find VESC confusing or not understand what they are doing.
