Does the 15$ referal still work?
So is the blue and black case the heatsink or only the blue part?
the blue part is the alu heatsink and the black part is just housing

Why dont you insert plugs for UART?
Will the Vesc-x be available from the EU distributor?
Why do people not just wait for Vesc v6? It will be released in early 2017. You can say what ever you want but the vesx actually cant be better than the new version. Benjamin did much work on it to improve it. And i think its not that much hard to just wait 3-4 Months to get a Quality version of it from Someone like Chaka.

Vedder said he will try and setup a team to test it and will probably release it sometime in March 2017. Thatâs 4 months from today
Because youâd have to wait 4 months for it
and after that, someone has to build it (again a few months) to make it vendor reliable and tested
It will be about 100$ more in pure component price, and not everyone needs the added features and capabilities. It will be bulkier because of onboard communication modules that are not needed by Everyone. This aside, the ârelease dateâ was announced Yesterday. Nobody wants to wait for something that will come âmaybe soonâ.
You need to wait, if you want to use big motors(80XX or even larger), or if you have high current scenarios(EMTB, Hubs) or more reliable FOC(or a combination of this). But for every normal use case, these are very good, and there is no need to spend more money and wait months to get rolling.
just my 2 cents

Cost. I am betting on the Vesc 6 being more expensive because of its increased features.
they will be there
the VESC 6 will be much more expensive, we think it will retail around $300USD. It also seems the footprint is a bit larger so some people might need to rethink their enclosures.
the VESCX will be a more compact & more affordable option still with the benefit of high current throughput / improved cooling. Perfect for Hub motors.

How do you come to 300USD? Most of the BOM is the same, you donât need to add the NRF on the Board. It can be around the same price as the current VESC.

300 is for the vesc 6.0, start to read the tread before bashing⌠300 is also the leak price from trampa⌠The price is also base on the licence, VESC will not be easy to market.

Oh you know something we all donât know. Please shed some light on us. Tell us more about the license. I had a conspiracy theory about VESC6 dual license, is it true? Is it?
