Endless Sphere

If possible post a picture or a schematic of how you wired the back, but if only 3 nickel strips are used for the serial connections there is your problem, and if it is, I recommend you stop using the pack until fixed, the least that can happen is these 3 nickel strips melt, the worst they melt and ...

Everything works perfectly now. Switched to copper and two batteries in parallel, using 1.5 and 6ms I can weld 0.15mm nickel with no problem

Just finished mine I have two problems, but both are easily mended First, apparently my battery isn't up to the job, it's a 3S 5000mah 35-70C Turnigy nanotech, i preferred to teste with it since car batteries are not cheap around here. First i need to charge it since it was sitting for more than 2 y...

Thanks, I will try them, will report back soon

Nice work Could you post your laptop ad battery models? I've already purchased the cells, just have to finish my spot welder to replace them, but I've read somewhere that some BMS's can't be disconnected and reconnected or they enter a protection mode that bricks it, if we have the same model it wou...

Thanks fechter, i will try it and see what happens

Hello guys, i'm about to start building my spot welder Anyone tried using lipos to weld 0.15mm nickel? i have two Nanotech's 5000mah 35-70C laying around that in theory should be able to reach 900A considering the internal resistance, a car battery is expensive around here and i don't want to risk d...

It's luck around here, generally things that come from asia haver a higher chance of being taxed

Do you ship to Brazil?
If yes.how much would cost?

You have to send a PM for him to answer, i'm from Brazil too and the shipping for 30 cells was cheap, unfortunately it's almost certain that you will have to pay the 60% import fee + the abusive fixed R$12,00 fee, at least that was my case

have you seen this? https://www.emetor.com/ MotorCAD is the industry standard for thermal analysis of motors but they now have an electromagnetic module that works in conjunction. All the commercial software is extrmely expensive. I would rough out the design in Emetor before choosing anything more...

That would be a way, but my mais objective is to learn something new, if in the end i can make a good motor that's great, but if the motor its not so good but i know what to improve or where i've screwed, that's even better I've been following all the hubs on eboard section, from what i've seen from...

Hello guys, I will shortly start a work in a research in my university to develop and manufacture a hub motor for electric skateboards, my goal is to optimize it as much as possible, since the application requires it or i will step on problems like overheating and huge consumption. So to the point, ...

This seems to be the same type i got when reading the serial while it is sending data to VESC And speaking on serial, finally everything works, rode my board a lot this last days, but today when i was implementing the battery capacity led's i realized i'm no getting any data back from VESC, anyone h...

[*]Funny thing, when everything seems to be going, something have to screw up Was on the verge of finishing the board again, testing on 10S for the first time, BLDC working, FOC working, and then on one of the accelerations on the bench the motor just made a high pitched sound and after rebooting it...

I'm using it with a few modifications for leds(was using, my board is down for a few months so far)

Try using the abs tachometer, any situation that makes the wheels go backwards? this would add negative distance if the abs is not used

I've checked here, the pulse number that i said, i'ts the motor poles*3, for a 14 pole motor that gives 42 pulses per rotation. As i understand, that's the number of sequencial phase activation to complete a full rotation. For the ERPM, i got RPM = ERPM*2/ Motor_Poles See if this works #define DIA_W...

rpm is the instantaneous rotational speed of the motor, tachometer is the number of pulses, or absolute number in case of abs_tachometer, the VESC has counted since powered on, in my tests i got 40 pulses per full rotation in a 14 pole motor, for speed you should use only the rpm and apply the corre...

DrkAngel,

Have you done a capacity mapping of the NCR18650B?

Finally (almost) everything working

Getting data back and nunchuck app, shame that my motor support is bent and i can't teste the board for the next weeks

Just get Wh on the remote do have an accurate battery indicator Just saw that vedder merged your pull request on FW2.10, but unfortunately everything stopped working on this update, i'm not getting data back nor can i control the nunchuck app For it to work, i have to set the control method to Nunch...

After a few hours solved As soon i connect the Arduíno usb, VESC start dumping data on the rx port, the same port used for the upload of the new sketch :roll: The problem was that the code with Wh counting never had been uploaded, now almost everything is working, i'm still getting zero on battery c...

They are in int32 here, here's what i changed case COMM_GET_VALUES: ind = 14; //Skipped the first 14 bit. values.avgMotorCurrent = buffer_get_float32(message, 100.0, &ind); values.avgInputCurrent = buffer_get_float32(message, 100.0, &ind); values.dutyCycleNow = buffer_get_float16(message, 1000.0, &i...

Yes, just one question, i just have to add the wh and wh count on VescUart.cpp and datatypes.h right? i did that but everything past where i edited stoped working

I don*t know why I skipped them. They are exactly the 8 bits I skipped there. Maybe I wanted to save memory? I don't really need them. I calculate a battery by the used Ah. There 2 are ways to do it. One to add this 8 bits (I can do it when I can find the time for) or simply calculate Ah*V and you ...

Any lucky with your VESC? the faults command is not giving you anything? I'm finally getting data back from VESC and into the remote, thank you sir for this library :wink: Just one thing that i think is missing is Wh in and out, from my point of view is mandatory for coulomb counting fuel gauge, is ...
