New Firmware. Field weakening from 21,000 RPM boosted REV hub motor, to 45,000 RPM (erpm) after Field weakening. Now need to go try this out on the street and see if I can blow some shit up

EDIT>. i didntā€™ screen record wellā€¦ My bad

I have a onewheel hub motor id love to try running with a foccer with field weakening on.

I donā€™t believe balance app + field weakening on vesc play together at all.

Ok. Field weakening was a non issue

Canā€™t get metr to connect to this vesc. Not sure what Iā€™m doing wrong. So canā€™t get you real time data etc.

I do know I was front hub only and hit 33mph vs 29 with dual motors

Can going to use a second vesc and get the rear motor going and see if I canā€™t hit 40mph. On a boosted rev 12s

Thatā€™s a bit much for the rev, no? I hit like 24 on one and it wasnā€™t the best experience.

Stability wise?

Totally stable

Why?

Comfort wise. It felt janky. Maybe it was just the unit I tested as it was a demo unit.

Definitely not a self balancing vehicle. Iā€™m using a onewheel hub motor as a rear wheel for a mini chopper.

Thatā€™s cool as shit. Did you see this light, because something like this would be cool on that.

Thatā€™s really cool @b264 I did not see that. Havenā€™t been spending as much time on here lately.

Looks promising! Are the 250A versions in the works? I understand that due to chip supply, production is an issue, but do you have a ballpark estimate when it will launch? So I can prepare my fingers to buy :grin:

Also, is this compatable connecting two of them using CAN?

He had to raise the price. Itā€™s no longer three fingers, its now a whole hand.

This is awesome! What settings did you use in the FW tab? Any other settings you had to change elsewhere?

Alright everyone! I finally got some stock in the hands of my distributors.Makers PEV (https://www.makerspev.com) for stateside orders and CustomWheel (https://customwheel.shop/) for everywhere else.

The stock at Makers PEV is a version in which you provide your own heatsink or mount the controller directly into your system (such as directly to the chassis). Using thermal pad on the MOSFETs is mandatory. This is not a beginner-friendly version and experience in VESC controllers and electronics is recommended. Makers PEV will also have wiring harness meant for installation in popular balance applications.

Right now the stock at CustomWheel is centered around balance applications with certain specific wiring harnesses being included for easier installation. Check it out for details.

The more generalized version with a heatsink is still under way and will be available at both distributors. Mainly just waiting on the heatsinks for those. ETA is 1 month for the version with heatsinks

Nice! Iā€™ve loved beta testing that controller for you. I may have to get a jerb just so I can buy more :joy:
