VESC Improvement: read cell voltages

[janpom]

You’re up on the waiting list. I will ship it in a few days.

The FlexiBMS just needs firmware updates to enable CAN communication. Should be matter of weeks.

That’s what I meant with ‘overclocking’ - running more current through them than they were designed to sustain continuously.

Lol, thats like running basically any VESC at >60A (okay, maybe except the 75/300).
It is not made for it doing continuously but it wont get harmed for a duration depending on your cooling ability.

We will have a smaller version of the DieBie in our Prject X board though.

nice, OS as well? can you link the fork?

It’s not done yet, but should be by next month.

There’s not much info on it, but has anyone seen this BMS? Flexi is out of stock and there are not that many alternatives in the same price range. Based on LTC6813.

There’s no reason the two functions can’t combined, that is a BMS IC on same PCB (or same enclosure) as VESC. Two main issues though, you don’t want a blown ESC destroying the BMS is likely critical. But also, hard to get the right combination of features. Number of cells, battery chemistry, charging profile, etc.
