Programming VESC 75100 10s5p 6374 190kv

Hi all

I want to program my vesc but don’t want to F it up, so thought it best to ask your advice first.

Battery: 10s5p as pictured with more specs. I had a 10s3p but had to change as it did not fit (new one is deeper but shorter)

ESC is a Flipsky 75100

  • Voltage:14-84V (4-20S)
  • Continuous Current:100A.
  • Max Current:120A.
  • Firmware: latest (firmware update supported)
  • ERPM:150000.
  • Control Interface Ports:USB,CAN,UART.
  • BEC:[email protected]
  • Modes:DC, BLDC, FOC (sinusoidal)

Motor: Flipsky BLDC Belt Motor Battle Hardened 6374 190KV 3500W Brushless

I’m using the Vesc app. I went to set up the motor so far and it was asking me what size motor, small, medium or large. It had preset values for each, cookie cutter style, I assume this should be overridden and custom values entered or is it okay to use their cookie cutter mltor settings?

Also, I don’t think I can connect my bluetooth controller at the same time as the BT module/info receiver - should the controller ideally be connected for Vesc programming or does it not make a difference? Controller is Flipsky VX2.

If you’re doing motor detection, the motors are medium outrunners. You don’t necessarily need to do anything else. It’ll just ask you for battery after.

Make the flipsky vx2 a ppm controller instead since all it does is the same thing but in uart. The only thing you might lose might be the speedometer. But that’s up to you. I dont think the 75/100 has another uart.

Edit: maybe it does… I’m completely unsure since I see Tx2/rx2 and shows two types.
