2019 VESC-Tool release

The 2019 VESC-Tool is about to arrive!

For 2019 Benjamin has packed a nice present for the community.
Hopefully next week we will see a release of the Mobile VESC-Tool in the play store.
The new VESC-Tool is super convenient to use and is prepared to work seamless with upcoming hardware releases. Everything is fully automated and in consequence the complete setup is now nailed with 3 to 5 clicks only. Setting up a dual or quad drive takes just as long as setting up a single VESC.

Visit www.trampaboards.com and don’t miss out the release of the new VESC 6 Plus.

These are some of the new features you will benefit from:

  • Auto motor detection including sensor detection for all VESCs simultaneously.
  • Motor detection in FOC open loop
  • automatic and accurate current settings for motor and battery (can still be manipulated manually).
  • FW updates to all VESCs in one hit
  • Configuration of all VESCs in one hit
  • Profiles (top speed, current limits, power limits, brake etc.)
  • Profiles changeable while actually riding the board (you can’t feel the switching)
  • permanent and non permanent profiles
  • profiles are written to all VESCs simultaneously and instantly
  • Smooth low speed braking capabilities (braking close to stand still)
  • Analogue cockpit (speed, power, rpm, duty cycle, current, battery)
  • Statistics and estimated range (really accurate now)
  • Data from all VESCs is now used to calculate the values
  • Board can be given a name
  • Communication between remote, phone/tablet and VESCs simultaneously (triangular communication).
  • pairing of remote and phone/tablet to VESCs (stops others to interact with your VESC/board).
  • new remote features to allow display of values on remote
  • The new VESC-Tool is fully prepared to work with the upcoming hardware releases
  • The new VESC-Tool will be fully compatible with older hardware like 4.xx
  • Support for UAV-CAN (e.g. for multicopters and robots)
  • and many more…

Can we update vesc-tool for the new hardware for still using it with a pc/Windows (usb connection)?

Thank you

Sure! It is compatible with all Hardware 4.xx till latest.The desktop Version is available on
www.VESC-Project.com

As they are both working with the VESC, what is the difference between the Metr Pro bluetooth module + SW and Vesc-Tool + NRF-Dongle (telemetry features like a feedback on remaining battery charge, motor and ESC temperature, accelerator …)
With the NRF dongle, do I have the same display and data as the metr.at solution ?

Which solution is the most useful for efoil development and use ?

The VESC-Tool mobile is a full scale VESC-Tool with nearly all features and RT-Data display, profiles etc.
It is a powerful tool and OS. If you have android, it is pretty much all you need.
