Anybody tested updating a Maytech DRV cooker with this new VESC- Tool ?? And if so tested with FOC ?
Yes, bootloader and FW upload worksā¦ tested FOC with my maytechās everytime hitting the brake results in DRV fault and cut off on both V4.12, forget maytech and buy quality HW, with proper V4.12 FOC works like a charm.
Sensors work a lot better in FOC. Frank
Ok, thanks for the info. But you can at least use custom throttle curves and so on in BLDC mode? I have a ābeaterā board with a maytech vesc and the āboostā is really pronounced here, so if this is gone with the tool that would be great. Agreed with quality HW in these things.
The new FW works in BLDC mode with maytech , FOC not
Itās always good to have FOCtimized HW.

Any confirmation to the boost being gone even in hybrid mode?
Again I thought soeed boost was a hardeare issue not softwareā¦
Frank, thanks for your reply
I configured PPM input signal using wizard. My remote did work before, Iāve been using this board for a week now with no problems.
Voltage is set for a 10s battery.
Here you can see some settings too
Thanks
When you set it to āCurrent with no reverse with brakeā Did you remember to hit the "Write app config. " ??
Did you make sure to choose the app in āApp Settings > General > App to useā AND choose a control type under āApp settings > PPM > Control Typeā?
Also whenever your motor doesnāt move, avoid pull the throttle all the way like that, easy to way to blow your VESC and/or motor.
Yea, I think this was it. I wasnāt changing this setting in both places. Now it works. Thanks guys !
If anyone else has this problem, this is how you set up your remote in the new vesc tool.
Off topic : is that your Z? Thatās one of my favorite cars period. Liked your post just for that haha
I donāt see itās a new version, no visible difference in the name.
Can you explain how to download the new one, please?!
Thierry
Hahahah I wish mate oh how I wish this car would be mine
You go to vesc-project.com and choose the Vesc-Tool you want, then click on checkout. I you purchased a status version before, the update is free of charge. There is a āpurchased filesā section in your account. There you will find all files that you checked out recently.

Just did my first real run with the new firmware. Iām running an Trampa eMTB on 12S with 5800mAh LiPo battery on dual VESC 4.12ās in BLDC mode. With the new firmware the boost is definitely gone or very subtle at most! I feel much safer now and can focus a bit less on the trigger! Awesome! Iāve never been able to start from standstil, but with the new firmware I can now start by pushing the board a bit forward while standing on it - this is very nice aswell.
Regarding the loss of brakes using BLDC I have not had this problem at any time on this run. Iāll pay extra attention to this on my next many runs to make sure itās safe.
Thanks again Frank and Benjamin!

Iām still unable to get FOC detection working with my FOC boxes. Really wanted to give it a go. Iām still getting the āR is 0. Please measure it first.ā message every time I try.
Iāll give it a try right now. Just sitting here with my board trying to get it figured out. Thanks dude!
