Sure no problem

Then consider adopting this strategy

If you’re going to use sensors, then yes hybrid mode is what we use.

However, I suggest physically cutting off the sensor wires entirely and running unsensored.

Either:

Ackmaniac 3.103 “BLDC” “unsensored” mode (rock solid, no bugs)

or take your chances and run a new @Trampa version like 2.03 + 4.2 and run “FOC” in “HFI” sensor mode

But either way with no physical sensors wired to the ESC from the motor.

I wouldn’t run Trampa firmware unless you need HFI.  And I would recommend using HFI.

edit: I’ve been testing 2.03 + 4.2 for a while now and the only bug I’ve found is related to reverse on unsensored BLDC mode, so you’re unlikely to find it following my advice. Don’t roll down a hill “switch” (backwards) on 4.2 in BLDC with a max (min) reverse speed set, or you’re royally fucked

HFI?

I use ackmaniac (don’t know what version, the one recommended for Mac) and plan on riding with foc, with hall sensors hybrid … why is that wrong?

#12029

If you run sensored FOC, you don’t need to worry about HFI.

I have my metr connected to UART (master) and my DavegaX to my AURT (slave)

Davega is all good
Metr doesn’t show live data

LEDS are both blinking and app says connected

Do I need to change something in vesctool?

I already send message to Dario, but I thought maybe someone that is now online knows this??!!

#12031

It’s not wrong. Some folks do not care to rely on sensors in the motors.

HFI = High Frequency Injection: this method is able to detect the rotor position without sensors while the motor is not moving

What vesc are you running again?

edit : maytech superfoc 6.8

#12033

Superfoc

#12034

I think I have wrong baughtrate on master

#12035

But should be auto detect

#12036

You might need to swap RX and TX…BUT i’m not sure if thats still needed on the metr pro. @rpasichnyk

yeah metr pro auto detects. Check if its 9600 or 115200

also, if you go into the expert tab, does it say : FW 0.0 not supported?

#12037

Do you measure the entire length of a bolt or just the length of the threading?

It’s either ~18mm or ~23mm :thinking:

just the thread length

only the threaded part.

m3 x 10mm = 10mm usable bolt length

edit : if you have these i’d measure the blank and threaded part.
