I have a 12s6p battery on my board and the acceleration is great but a little sharp. The breaking is so sharp i can barely pull the trigger before the board slams on the breaks.
What Voltage and amperage should I use to be able to have good accel and top speed but not too sharp accel or breaking?
The sensibility of braking and acceleration is not related to maximum current settings but with throttle settings, if you have a mini remote you should have plenty of throttle range.
I am using the nano remote from Torque Boards, I followed their instructions for remote setup, and their instructions for calibrating the vesc’s to my motors, but they didn’t mention throttle range or ramping settings.
AFAIK the nano remote has a really short throttle range that cause the brakes to feel too strong. You might want to talk to @achatham about this he has the exact same issue. This does not happen with the mini remote
I think I have max accel amperage at 60 and the breaking amperage capped at 40, but I know the boosted board uses a 12s1p battery which would lead me to believe that the amperage they have available is 15A or 20A, but if it’s a remote issue I can just find a different one.
theres two settings for acceleration and two for braking in the vesc: motor and battery current and negative motor and battery current. 40 is high for either negative motor or battery i think.
So I noticed that the braking numbers you set, no matter if it’s 8 or 16, it’s always very responsive at the lower speeds but where you notice the big difference in responsiveness is at higher speeds. With braking set to 16 I am able to stop a lot quicker than if set at 8.
Now that number will be different based on your motor, weight, terrain etc.
