Thanks to a member on the forum (they can identify themselves if they wana be named) I got a care package with a bunch of stuff. (Not pictured is a bunch of bearings and a set of MBS wheels)
I used some pcb standoffs from the old setups, and put the vesc’s together and soldered up the wireing. (I don’t plan to keep them this way, just while I design a box for the battery and work out the kinks in the vesc’s.
It makes them fit nicely in the box and keeps it a bit cleaner, but its not gonna be great for thermals obviously though. Bigger issue right now is the lack of start up torque. I’m curious how it will turn out if I can figure out that issue lol, because I have nearly no idea what the plan for the battery is lol.
I mean, they may be dinosaur tech but with the stock ESC I could crawl up small curbs with no issue (Part of why my verreal feels weak I’m sure), with 2 of these vesc’s I figure I should be getting something.
MY8922 DC motor, 36v 30a 3000rpm rated speed.
Oh lol I didn’t realise this was the same board! Cool, do you have any more info on how you set up the VESCs with the motors? I’ve never done setup with a brushed motor
In vesc tool under the wizards tab there is a “other motors” setup option, I just used that and left basically everything default. Then just use the outer 2 motor wires. Works pretty good once it gets going, I have stripes in my yard from the wheels spinning. Not while riding of course, throttle is to unpredictable for that, but its still an 80lb board on 10in knobbies lol.
Interesting, and can you let us know what settings it auto-generated for the motor? Particularly current, but I don’t have a DC motor to test it with so a screenshot of the motor settings could help
Didn’t plan to keep it more that a few miles of riding, just enough to make sure the Vesc’s worked and get them tuned to the motors, but we see how that’s going.
