Really comprehensive and articulate. 👍 It is wonderful to see content creators promoting a user-empowered hardware platform that will take eSkaters and Onewheelers into the future! Another important point is that VESC type hardware can give a much greater performance than (say) a stock Future Motion Onewheel. The user can configure the current limits (to set and increase torque) and can configure their own top speed limits etc. 🙂

Well explained, thanks for the tips on what not to buy :) My little XS runs off a stripped down Flipsky 4.12 (50a). If I were to do it all again I’d opt for a newer unit since the older ones like this had no imu so I had to use the only serial pins for that. My recommendation to others is don’t just assume you can just add everything you want to the lowest model. Get what you need built in if you can to free up your io pins for future expansion like lights.

⚡ *Great to see a video in "Layman's terms" for people who have little to no experience with VESCs* ⚡ I genuinely think it is the future for OneWheel and lately it seems not far off. Eventually it could be for esk8 but right now I'm not sure. I hope and wish it would be for every PEV but it really depends on people and even companies gettin behind it as DIY is still a niche within minority. I appreciate the quick summary/reviews on the Tenka, etc ⚡⚡

Interesting approach to a video like this. Personally I would have opted to skip over the technicalities and definitions of VESC, and instead focus on the features and eco-system: what it can do better than non-vesc controllers, what areas does it lack in, how good the balance app is compared to a regular onewheel, what the vesc-compatible accessory market looks like, etc. Maybe we can get a followup video? :)
@TheBoardGarage2 жыл бұрын
Since this was meant to be a primer, it felt more appropriate to stay away from the rollercoaster that is living within a VESC ecosystem. There's an entire build series coming that will cover all of the other items in more detail. I had seen VESC mentioned in and around the community microcosms, and it occurred to me that most OW riders are unfamiliar. So yes, several follow ups. Cheers sir. 🙏

Hey mario, so i just want to get some things straight. Im a rc hobbiest and we use ESCs all the time, its not untill i tried using a little rc car esc to power my electric skateboard motor, the thing just went up in flames😂. So is Vesc simply just a open source configurator that allows you to place safety features such as over current limiter on a esc (that supports Vesc) which would allow you to use it for more current demanding applications without fearing it to blow up. So essentially what i understood from your video is that Vesc itself isnt a special type of esc, its just a open source configurator that allows you to customise an esc that supports the software for tailored application.
@anarex09292 жыл бұрын
Yeah you're not going to get a lot of traction right now but once vesc picks up in the community's minds in regards to XRs and how it will give you a far less expensive upgrade path but also give you a ride ahead of the GT by two generations with a good battery to power that torque and speed. 😉

It should be able to be wired it. You’d have to find the motor wires, and be able to wire in the 3 phase wires and the sensor wires. I have no idea what’s inside a Trotter, so you’d have to be able to do good soldering and wire crimping for the sensor connectors. And also be able to figure out the foot sensor situation.

@JensOverby Жыл бұрын
Hey, you're completely missing probably the most important thing of the Vesc. Using a "normal" esk, you cannot do torque control, and torque control is exactly what you do when you're in a car and pushing the speeder with your foot. So this is the problem of esk where you can only do speed control. However, with a Vesc you can do very precise torque control - which is analog to being able to control the amount of fuel fed into a combustion engine. To be fair, this is a property for FOC, which is the type of control implemented by Vesc. So torque control is the BIG difference between esk and Vesc.

You would either need one VESC per motor, or 2 dual VESCs. And they'd have to be connected together via CAN bus. It's a bit easier to use 2 duals, I'd recommend a pair of Stormcores.
