You were right, I was being dumb. When I hit "measure R and L", after a first quiet noise, it started doing a really loud noise for more than two seconds, and I thought that something was going wrong, and concerned about the life of the motor, I switched off the power of the VESC everytime to...

Thanks, I guess I'll have to get a new one... probably GT2B as you say! But it's a pitty to have a faulty unit, specially when you want to ride your board for the first time so badly :cry:

hi guys, A few weeks ago I bought this pricey remote from amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Electric-skateboard-Remote-Controller/dp/B00WQP6560/ref=sr_1_1?m=A3SJR32VUIHFZ3&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1442689912&sr=1-1 When I turn the remote ON, it will turn off automatically after a few...

Hi guys! I just fot my VESC 4.10 a few days ago, and I'm still finishing my first eBoard! It's my first time with BLDC and VESC too, so I'm still confuse about many things... But it works! However, I was giving a try to this new FOC feature, and when I try to read the parameters (R, etc) from...

I finally connected it to the VESC via PPM, and it's working. However, I think the remote itself is kind of broken... As soon as I turn the remote ON, it will turn off automatically after a few seconds, not allowing me to throttle the board more than 2 seconds. Then I have to turn it on again...

I've tried connecting the output pins from the receiver, to the P3-VESC-PORT: 1.) 5v to 5v(vesc) 2.) - to GND(vesc) 3.) PWM to RX(vesc), but nothing happens. I'm not sure if I have to set up anything specific using BLDC, but I've also activated UART at "Apps" with no result at all, and can't...

Hi guys, I just got both a VESC and this BenchWheel receiver, after a long time waiting! This is really my first eBoard, and I'm sure the steps to connect one to the other are very basic... but I'm not really sure how to proceed; Besides, seems like they made some last time changes to the...

Thank you for the hint about charging current. So, taking this BMS other user posted: http://es.aliexpress.com/item/A-22-2V-PCM-Protection-Circuit-Module-For-6S-Li-ion-Li-Po-Battery-Current10A-SM519/32308029349.html?adminSeq=221568829&shopNumber=1720416 I guess the charging rate is right, 5A...

Thanks for the link, I'm also trying to buy a proper BMS for my first build... However I'm really confused; Your BMS has a current of 10A... isn't that too low? I have same batteries and just one motor, and I was thinking of a 50A BMS... Since I thought that using a 10A BMS means that...

Thanks! So basically my first question is clear now; It has to be a BMS designed for the right number of Cells. I guess I should go for a more standard setup (Maybe 8S,10S,12S) to find a BMS with more ease, or just try to buy a custom one. As for the second question, I still have some doubts...

Hi guys, I'm waiting for my VESC, enertion r-spec motor, and single mount kit to arrive (And 3 x ZIPPY 5000mah 3S 20C), so in the mean time I have started to read about BMS systems... I want to build my own laptop-style charging system! Since I plan to have 9S Battery, I was wondering if I...

Hi again guys, Finally I ended up ordering a VESC,a single motor kit and a 190KV motor from enertion! As for the battery, I'm about to order the ZIPPY 5000mah 3S 20C (x3), and I want to figure out what else I have to buy (like what kind of wires, adaptors, etc). This is my list in hobbyking...

I'm really excited about all this; what's the status? I've just ordered a VESC and I plan building my first board next month. Is there any guide on how to physically connect a bluetooth module to the VESC? And more important, can we use an Arduino-BLE combo like BlueBean instead of an...

Hi again guys! After reading more and finding this kit on Amazon, I think I'm trying this setup for my first eBoard: Trucks and motors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00WQP5P48/ref=oh_aui_i_sh_pre_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Battery: I'm really worried about the possibility of my batteries...

Hi sl33py! I really appreciate every word you wrote, thank you so much! I will read everything again and will try to keep on learning and looking for proper components in the meantime! As for my weight, I'm around 80kg, and the place I live is quite flat, so climbing hills won't be a need.I will...
