Oh wow, these VESCs don’t support FOC? Why would I ever buy a VESC that doesn’t support FOC? Why would such a product even exist? That’s a pretty big limitation.
I’ll go try to get them working in BLDC mode out of curiousity, but I suppose even if these do end up working, they’re not much use to me. Go stealth or go home
Thanks for your help in figuring this out, everyone.
I just ran some tests, and fortunately, both VESCs work fine with regen braking and everything in BLDC mode. @psychotiller, how did you set up your Maytech’s to work in FOC mode? I’m thinking of tempting fate further
Hmm… FOC mode worked just fine for everything but braking. Its seems like the only difference between our steps was the fact that you set it up in BLDC mode first. What’s did you use for voltage cutoff on 10s? Something like 32/30?
Yes sir! …My brakes work to my liking. @mccloed says my brakes are too week for him though. As I’ve told him, riding is bad ass! Brakes are for stopping.
That’s good to hear. Maybe it’s the motor. I’ve got a single big 6374 on there, and I’m wondering if the Maytech’s can’t handle it. I’ll try different motors and see if it helps.
The key thing is that the same settings work just great on DIY’s VESCs…
Could be…my Tacon 245kv’s wouldn’t do motor detection, but my 290kv g160 would. Consistency in batches is what I’m looking for. Maybe that’s all it is.
I’ve got nothing but good things to say about maytech I purchased it and got it a week later through TNT the vesc was easy to set up and had bullet connectors already soldered
I downloaded the bloc tool and the CEO Eileen contacted me via WhatsApp to check weather everything was ok
She answered every question I had and came up with solutions to my problems
For 100€ it’s top quality
My setup is 8s 290kv single drive and before going down I hit 52kmh or about 31mph
