@mmaner, why do you want to slam Vedder in the face, for all the good work he has done for the community? Such an unfair childish move against someone you don’t even know and are not in contact with.
Your introduction is FAKE NEWS with bad intentions in mind (damaging Vedder):
It seems there are some issues with the newest VESC Tool (as of 06/20/2019) including the absence of an ERPM limit for direction change (reverse) and unusable values applied with the motor setup wizard.
First you do completely wrong statements, then you confuse about who is actually publishing VESC-Tool and who’s to be asked for changes via pull requests or www.vesc-project.com forum.
Please kindly ask Vedder if you would like a feature implemented! It is 100 % perfect to request something!
A good way to take part in the project is actually writing a post on Vedders forum with your comments on VESC-Tool, what you like and what you don’t like for what reason and what could be improved from your point of view. And if you find a Bug you can also report it there. This can be done as a single person or a group.
To clarify it:
VESC-Tool doesn’t even have PPM reverse yet, so an absence of ERPM limits for switching to reverse is purely logic and not a bug or safety issue. Reverse via NRF remotes is done via communication protocol at zero RPM. There is no setting you need to adjust.
PPM reverse is on the to do list, like some other features.
One thing is coded after another…
The VESC can’t know if the PPM signal it receives is user intended or a bad signal the receiver sends because it has a fault or interference. The VESC or any clone Hardware is blind to that, due to the nature of the simple PPM signal. Any feature that is implemented for PPM therefore needs to be tested to always work 100 reliably.
Get yourself informed and get in touch with the guy who wrote 99% of the code your board runs on before putting statements into the world that are factually wrong. The wizards that are promoted in the summery are actually all coded by Vedder. As a News editor you should also do some research first and maybe get in touch with the authors of the software, so they can actually give you explanations to why some things are as they are. Vedder is one of the most reasonable guy you can possibly imagine and he does know exactly what he is doing.
I will also leave this here:
