Vedder's VESC 6.0

@trampa

I am willing to solder your (and benjamins ) prototypes :grin:. For an impression of my soldering skills look at this topic:

Now we are starting to talk VESC again! People standing together to make things happen! I canā€™t here all that ā€¦ anymore. Make stuff happen should be the spirit!

Haha, ofc, electronics prototyping is relaxing for me. Let me know when / if you need help!

Would be nice! Helping hands are welcome!

How are we sitting on Beta Frank? Still on schedule to go out this week?

They are on the way to us! following trackingā€¦ As soon as they are there, Ted will drop the firmware on and will do the test runs. Then we pack and ship. I will fly over to Benjamin and will help him. Frank does the cooking, Benjamin the coding. Fair split of workā€¦ I started to create your accounts on the Website. An email notification is in preparation. You should be able to log in the day you get your VESC SIX. Benjamin will ad another nice feature to the tool! Be surprised. We will try to provide weekly updates for the Software.

Just curious, are you and Ted co-owners of Trampa or ?

YES we are.We are a small outfit. Ted is in Nottingham, banging on stuff and sorting out your orders. Iā€™m in Berlin, sorting out the R&D. We both do customer service. I fly over once a while and Ted flies over once a while.

Ted is still doing some moving today and tomorrow. He organized a Truck and need to make the most of it. He promised to take some pics and send them over the minute he finds the time. Flashing and testing will be done when Ted has sorted moving stuff and Benjamin feels up to the task to join in on Skype on Friday. I fire in your accounts into the System, so everything should finish at the same time. Next week, when you all have your VESCs, Iā€™ll be in Sweden, so customer support should be no issue. We want some footage of VESC SIX in action BTW.

Very interesting project, was a follower for a long time. Has anyone have a version of this or similar PCB on Altium? I would love to do some PCB mods per my personal likingā€¦

How is the recovery of Benjamin, was he able to join the Skype call last Friday? Was the testing and falshing of the VESCs sucessfullā€¦ please give us some update :slight_smile:

@BV: Get well soon! Hopefully you are on a good way :+1:

I will fly over tomorrow and will help Benjamin. Doctors made a mistake (to long titanium screws) and needed to do the job again. Mechanicsā€¦ Unbelievable! Anyway, we will flash your VESCs and ship them tomorrow or on Wednesday. We are prepared and just wait for me being in Sweden tomorrow afternoon. I think its better this way and its not a terrible delay.

Only go to doctors who are also e-sk8ters. They always use the right screw.

All our best to Benjamin

Ouch that sounds awful :sweat:.

Yes, to bad when screes poke through the bone into the jointā€¦ In a couple of years we will probably see artificial joints with bldc motors running on VESCs.
