I’m wondering If you every heard of this issue: In very rare occasions when I fully push the throttle (quickly), my Vesc seems to change to some kind of ‘beast’ mode with no speed and (presumably) no amp draw restrictions.
Then it stay’s that way until I change settings trough the app or turn the Vesc off and on (not sure about the last one). Definitely not saying that Xmatic has anything to do with it but the way I see it, it can only be the Vesc itself (Foxbox) or the app (since it only happend when the app was on, but then it only happens ever to rarely).
Just wanted to know if someone ever heard of such an issue?
Specs:
Vesc: Foxbox
Firmware: Ackmaniac but had same issue before using Ackmaniac firmware
Remote: Miniremote
Phone: iPhone 6s iOS 12.2
Oh and another (very small) bug: When you set your battery max in the app lower than the actual battery level, the battery symbol on the main page shows empty.
This happens when I charge the battery to 41,5V but 100% is set to 41V. Because after a few minutes it drops back to 41V.
Ughs… why do you guys update your firmware and expect the app to support it. You’ll have to wait until I update the app to support the firmware changes… or downgrade back
@twan I installed the latest Xmatic update with the Unity fix. Was that supposed to address what I described here? There seems to be some improvement. The app keeps the connection to the Unity longer but it still freezes after a minute or two.
Is there anything I can do to help you debug the issue? I’m a software engineer and I have experience with communicating to VESC from my DAVEga project. I have successfully implemented Unity support there.
Could the problem be that you poll the VESC too frequently? From my experience, if you don’t allow enough delay between requests, the VESC starts sending invalid messages as a response. Or maybe you accidentally do CAN FWD requests, which you shouldn’t do on the Unity?
Hey guys!
Noticed tht the voltage battery indicator is preconfigured for 30qs as im using lgh2 i want to ask if anyone has maintained the custom voltage curve for a 10s4p setup with these cells?

@janpom it’s more of a Bluetooth issue. If it’s on the hm10 it’ll be fine and won’t DC but for the on board module It’ll DC after a bit. If it’s faster poll it DC’s faster and the slower the polling the longer it stays connected.
@Ruubie200 no it does not. No such function on the vesc. It would have to be built into the BMS.
Makes sense. How about adding a config option for the polling frequency? I personally don’t use real-time data. I just want data logging. If I could set the polling freq to /1s and that would prevent the disconnect issue I would be happy.
I have a feature request if you’re still creating updates!
On my ESC the voltage reading randomly oscillates +/- about 0.6 volts. I know others have the same issue depending on the manufacture.
Can you add an option to smooth out the voltage reading with about a 1 sec average?
I think that would greatly stabilize the number and improve viewing the app while riding to check battery voltage.
Minor update is out, adds polling option for Unity users to set their polling rate. Also added button to allow users to load their old trip logs before the update that removed them.
