Hey Pavel! This is my first ever e-skate build and I want to say I definitely couldn't have done it if it wasn't for this video. I was running into problems for weeks involving my Mac m1, and Flipsky remote (I replaced it with the Uni v2) but finally I was able to get all of the electronics working. This video was a such Godsend, thank you!
Great to hear! Thank you for the lovely comment : )
Thanks Pav! The VESC stuff is gold. Little by little the fog is clearing ....
Great to hear! Thank you for watching.
I’ve referenced this video multiple times doing my build. You da man. 🤙🏻
Awesome! Thank you!
Pavel thank you for another great video, you're the best
You are welcome mate! Glad it helped.
Check all the videos in the description to get all required further information.
If any questions - ask in comments and i will get back to you.
Thanks, very helpful. Keep up the amazing content!
Thanks, will do!
Probably not your first language but your English is perfect!
great video Pavel !!!
Thank you mate 👍 glad it was helpful.
Thanks for this excellent tutorial.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the nice comment.
Thank you yet again Pavel!! Just need to get a VESC now 🤣
You are welcome.
I bought a ubox v2 just before I saw your last video glad you’ve got this content will help me set mine up
Awesome! Good timing.
@@PavelGarmas pity I bought before I would’ve used the discount code 🥲
@@jamesthornton642 sorry mate...you never know, you might be building a new board so will need more units 😀
ok pav, you are the best! I think I'm prepared... but you might be getting a few pm's in the coming weeks. great video as usual....
😆 no problem mate 👍
This video didn't have exactly everything I was looking for but you did a really good job at covering everything.
I'm surprised manufacturers have little to no documentation and you have to piece together so many little pieces of information so you don't blow up hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of parts.
Hi mate, there are so many things to cover and i dud try my best to do it... what exactly you couldn't find in the video?
@@PavelGarmas A few things like switching to the other controller over canbus for the second motor settings, and adjusting the ppm settings if your controller is plugged in that way.
Sorry if you did actually cover it, it was a long video and I couldn't remember it all, it was a great video by the way.
Also if you know, can I utilise the other connections on a stormcore 60D? there's a lot of ports that I'm not actually using and I don't know what they're for.
I absolutely needed this video. I think I now know why I was getting cutouts and faults. I didn’t realize I had to input half the batteries maximum amps for each side of the vesc. It makes more sense you you explained that you have to program both sides of the vesc. For the first time I only programmed one side and the board was not acting right. I’m going to change my settings and go for a ride! Thank you 😊 also I remember watching a esk8 music video you made a few years ago. It was one on the first videos I’d seen from your channel. Unfortunately now I can’t find that video. I remember it was going something like “I really wanna skate, because it feels really great”
I need to find that video because watching it got me pumped to go for a ride. If you know the link can you please send it to me so I can share with my esk8 buddies. Thank you for this great detail video.
Hi mate! Thank you for a lovely comment and i am glad this video helped you. Did your board feel better?
Here is the video you asked for and there is also a part two...just type in "why do we do it pavel garmas "

@@PavelGarmas your videos have helped me a lot over the past few months getting into this hobby and learning how to build these beast electric skateboards. I started building my own battery packs from watching your videos. My first pack was a 10s 4p using Samsung 30q. It’s nothing crazy but it works and still gets me up close to 30mph which is good for me. Thanks again for the link.
@@Brennen_Nisporic no problem mate 👍 thank you for watching and for enjoing this awesome hobby. Are you on my group ESK8FREEDOM?
@@PavelGarmas I’m not on the group yet but I’d be happy to join. Just started riding and building boards about 6 months ago but I have a history of building remote control cares planes and drones, so naturally the electric skateboard scene was something very exciting for me. Building my own lithium ion battery pack was pretty exciting and I want to make battery packs for my friends as well so we can enjoy this hobby together.
@@Brennen_Nisporic awesome! Get yourself and friends on ESK8FREEDOM on Facebook... it's my group mate.
Hey Pavel, great video as an introduction on programming a VESC based controller. One thing I noticed was that you plugged in the bt using the traditional UART port, but didn't mention that the Ubox specifically includes a dedicated bt receiver port. That's a big benefit of the ubox V2. It keeps those uart ports open for other devices and backup remotes.
Good point mate 👍 thank you.
Which port is that, what is the label? I was very confused that I had to splice my BT into the throttle plug to access the TX RX terminals
@@ThaPianoMan4 it's the 4pin port labeled NRF.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I have a doubt, the real-time speed parameters, battery charge, are not moving, the dials are not moving, what could be wrong?
Use metrpro mate.
how to change battery parameters, I can't do it! I used a 36v battery and replaced it with a 48v battery but the display is not showing the correct voltage on the RT
I'm trying to configure the vesc tool so that I can use a potentiometer on the adc2 input, so that it works as a pedal-assisted power regulator on my bike, I use an accelerator on adc1 and a common cadence sensor, but it is dangerous to use the assisted pedal if you are using a profile with a lot of power, my intention is not to need to use a smartphone to change the profiles but just a way to change the assistance...
This tutorial was exactly what I needed! Thank you for explaining everything from wiring to all the little details in installing/using the vesc tool. I just have one question. I have 2 6s lipos, I'm thinking I may want to use them sometimes im series, and sometimes in parallel depending on the situation. If I set the vesc tool for 12s, would everything function normally at half voltage? or would the vesc give some sort of error.
Hi mate, Thank you for watching and for the comment. You have to set the voltage of the battery in vesc tool and do all the steps again if you change the voltage of the battery.
All reset of VESC based Ubox V2 100V 200A dual motor controller, can I restore factory settings
Hey Pavel, thank you the clarification! The only problem I'm encountering with the spintend remote is I must do binding eveytime I switch on the board
Hi mate,
This can't be right.... try to turn the ESC on first and then the remote.
@@PavelGarmas I know it's so weird, right? I've tried ESC first but got no response at all. I have to do binding every single. Also I don't have the board battery reading on the remote.... I guess I should address the matter to spintend
@@cesardorm hi mate, have you watched the video and done set up again?
Spintend are quite good with helping out so email them.
I have an over voltage fault code any help?
Hi, nice video can explain how to connected VESC to Brushed DC motor and its setup, is work perfectly ?
I never used brushed dc motor mate unfortunately.
Hello and great video btw
One question, if you were to use a dual motor esc with a single mcu like a focbox or a storm core, is it still a requirement to program both sides of the vesc? Thanks.
Hi mate. I have noticed that most of the times slave side of esc gets the setting over with no problem however most manufacturers do recommend to check the second side by plugging in.
Hello Pavel! Can you please help with setting up the maytech speed controller in the VESC Tool only for an electric surfboard?
Hi mate,
I have never set up the surfboard but i guess it is the same principle mate. Did you try following the tutorial? Should be same but the battery size, motor size and being single motor.
what's the difference between hall and AS5047 ? I've got a 3KW hub motor with hall wires.
To be honest, no idea...
But i am assuming it's the different type of sensor with the same task - motor orientation detection.
Hy, very useful video!
I have a problem you may be able to help with: I have a fsesc 7550 and want to connect the flipsky vesk skreen with ppm trottle support and the a bt chip to connect with my phone at the same time but the bt only seems to work when the screen is not connected. I am using the 75/300 v3 firmware
Hi
Sorry for the delay with reply. Join ESK8FREEDOM Facebook group and ask the question there. It's my group.
I bought the same controller in this video and it says it’s safe for 22S LiIon. Do you know a good 22S BMS with a 200A discharge rate?
Hi mate,
I do not use bms for discharge and do let esc control it. BMS is normally by-passed on most of the diy builds.
Another question I have, you only changed settings on the primary ESC, does the new 5.3 tool copy settings to the other ESC over CAN now?
Very good question! It did in my case and has done before however it is best to check both sides to ensure that all settings were replicated.
Hey I love your videos. Quick question, how would I best find the max discharge rate of my batteries? I have Samsung 50g 21700 cells set in 12s3p.
Hi, your maximum discharge is P value times the cell constant discharge rate. according to the data sheet the discharge rate is 9.8 Amp so you battery max is 30 Amp.
@@PavelGarmas thanks Pavel, you're absolutely awesome.
Great vid, How do you know which color of hull sensor wire does what?
Hi mate. Thank you for watching. Hall sensors can be plugged in in any order...does not matter. Just ensure to get the ground and 5V plugged in correctly. There might be another cable which is the temperature sensor but depends on the motor.
@@PavelGarmas thank you so much!!!
Hello i know this video is a while old, i using a E-Scooter Named IO Hawk Legacy 2.0 that is just a Downgraded VSett 10+ but is by that Vesc possibility to use Single/Dual Switch (DDM) so that i can drive just in single or with dual engines and turn lights left/right ?
And is it possible to use just like Remote control to reduce the speed e.g. Max. The speed should be 22 km/h and when I click on the remote control it then throttles down and can then go around 30-40 km/h and when I click on it again then again maximum 22 km/h, Is there a switch you're looking for between 2 profiles or can I just switch it like that using the Vesc tool app?
Why I'm asking the whole thing is because I want to use everything from the Legacy 2 and at least have a high quality controller inside that I can use to control the whole thing, like. switching the light on and off via the display and the display shows the voltage when the battery is empty from 52V, which I switch to 48V and it continues with the last few kilometers.
Profile 1 would then be
Level 1 = 8km/h
Level 2 =16km/h
Level 3 = 22km/h
profile 2 would then be
Level 1 = 12km/h
level 2 = 20 km/h
level 3 = 35km/h
I would be happy for a Answer ❤️
That is true but unfortunately bike will loose a lot of power and speed as soon as you hit 19%. Tested many times.
I purchased the bn m1-at gear drive. Was told they had the 10mm motor pinions to match my Lacroix 6389 stock motors but changed after I purchased saying they can't find it anymore. So I purchased new flipsky 8mm motor shafts for the 63100's to fit the 8mm gear drive pinions. I installed everything. I was told only take a few mins to reprogram motors and gear drive 3.95 gear ratio (if needed) in the storm core app alone initially. I ended up downloading the vesc tool and thought it was running properly until the battery ran out of juice. Apparently the battery has not been charging over the few days I was running the new parts. The charger shows green, green generally tells me its fully charged but its not charging so I'm guessing I have not input the numbers correctly on stormcore/vesc tool. Any help would be so appreciated. I would love to Venmo or Zelle anyone who can help! Thanks either way! I'm almost there! I'm guessing I need to properly adjust the battery numbers. Its the stock Lacroix 12s4p p42a 21700 molicel but Lacroix is closed so I can't call them for correct numbers.
Hi Pavel ✌🏼️ I'm building my ninebot max g30d 2 with two vsett 10+ motors and big 20s6p molicel aku under the scooter. The ubox would be in an extra bag on the Board. My question is: 1. What setting do i take for scooter? Also Electric skateboard? And 2. Can i use a Smartphone instead of a dashboard? I ordered ubox with Bluetooth
Thanks man 🙏🏼
Hi mate,
I do prefer to do the initial set up on the laptop, then tweak things via the phone if needed. I do have tutorials showing how to set up a board. Setting for the cdooter will depend on the motor parameters.
I would like to use the VESC tool on my PC to set it up. Is there a VESC tool for that? If so, where can I get it? Excuse me for being an amateur.
Go to vesc projects website and download it.
ny vesc sometimes doesnt respond for 10-15 seconds then starts running normall. Is it rebooting ?
Should not be like this... is it on PC or phone?
@@PavelGarmas its on ebike
Question: Battery Current Max Regen - in your example you used 30Q, which has a max CHARGE rate of 4amp per cell not 30AMP...So surely you would get 4amp and times that by the amount of cells in the P group, lets say 5p in our example, to give us a total of 20AMPS regen, which has to be split by 2 ESC. So 10 amps per ESC regen.. Putting 25 amps per ESC (50 total amps), would surely be charging each cell at 10amps each? Wouldnt that cause issues?
Hi mate. Thank you for the quotation. My view is ... if the cell can discharge at 30Amp, it can recieve 30 amp for short duration. All my battery packs are set to 25-30 Amp regen and no issues. I do not consider the regen as some power saving as it is very negligible gain however motors would heat up more if energy is not taken away. You should set it to what you think is right...my videos is the way i do .
I don't know how to get to the VESC tool screen that everyone is looking at on a PC. Are you looking at an android app on your pc? I want to connect from USB and set it.
Hey Pavel, this video is everything that I needed! Excellent job! I was so confused how to configure this.
Anyway, I have a question that maybe you could help me to answer. I have te Torqueboards Direct Drive motors with the Focbox Unity. When I do the run derection it only does about 28 amps per motor, but when I do the same run derection without the sensors it will go up to about 78 amps (which is the brand says would make).
Do you know how to make the motors runs up to 78 amps with the sensors connected?
thank you!
Hi mate ,
Thank you.
So to understand this correctly, you do the motor detection with sensors plugged in and it does detect motors at 28 Amp on VESC but if you inplug the motors then it detects them at 78 Amp. Correct?
If above is correct then something is strange....
Are you setting them up as hub motors or as outrunner large?
Have you tryed to set up with sensors plugged in and then just increasing the motor Amp in the vesc to 70 Amp?
@@PavelGarmas Almost exactly like you said. The motors are always connected, but the first time I setted them up without the sensors connected and I've got about 78 amp. Then the second time I connected the sensors and setted them up again and is showing the 28 amp.
@@MnTrXuP set the motors up to allowed Amps. So if you know they can take 75, set them to 75 and try on the bench.
@@PavelGarmas Thank you for your patience! this is my first esk8 build so definitely you helped me a lot!
I just got one last question. Do you know if you could switch between profiles just with your remote?
@@MnTrXuP profiles no... not at the moment. It is very easy to do by using metrpro dongle and app though.
El motor recibe señal por los sensores imagino, pero no le llega la corriente para acelerar,el controlador recibe la señal porque cuando acelero se enciende la luz en el,y si le doy a la rueda con la mano marca en el mando la velocidad,podrias ayudarme?
Why is there no RPM dial on the dashboard??
not sure mate...i don't use it so its fine for me.

Great tutorial! Thanks Pavel! Do you prefer the Ubox V2 100V over flipsky dual FSESC6.6 plus?
Hi mate,
I do have both hiwever FSESC 6.6 plus is the oroginal 3 year old unit and is very good. New units are being reported as having issues. I do use two Spintend units one 75 V and another 100V as well... no issues so far.
I got discount codes for both Flipsky and Spintend if you are interested.
@@PavelGarmas ok thanks for the feedbacks. I have your spintend code and would be interested to have the flipsky code. I have the old flipsky 6.6 dual mini plus. And everything went bad after i upgraded the firmware to 5.3: abs_over_current fault, motor screaming and stuttering... I don't know how to downgrade the firmware wity flipsky
@@morozband it should be the same as downgrading the Spintend one just using VESC firmware. I do have a video on how to do it for Spintend.
Flipsky discount code is - pavel
@@PavelGarmas and thanks for the flipsky code
@@PavelGarmas do you mean that i can download the 5.2 firmware from Spintend website and flash it on my flipsky 6.6 dual via vesc tool 3.0?
#Pavel Garmas Hello, I have a question, I have iOS, I updated the firmware and my bms disappeared, and I don't have a battery chart and I can't charge the skateboard, could you help me solve the problem?? I restored the versions to the previous version.
Hi. Vesc tool doesn't control bms.
Did you have an issue with having to push off before the motors spin up ? From a stand still I just get shaking no forward movement.
Nope...no issues with that. Sounds like your sensors are not working.
Check all the wiring again, check phase cables. Do the detection again. What esc are you using? If Trampa vesc then check the voltage switch to see if it is 3.3 or 5.5 volt for the sensors.
Ubox v2 sensorless motors . Thought maybe a bad phase connection or a vesc tool setting that I was missing. Thank you for replying.
@@stephansmith300 sensorless...ok . You need to set them up HFI
@@PavelGarmas oh okay I'll give that a try . Thanks
Hello,
I have a flipsky 4.20 vesc and I currently have a problem. The remote is connecting to the vesc (can tell it from the LED's) but it's not showing up when I want to trothle it. And besides that it's only spinning one motor.
Maybe you can help me out with this issue.
Thanks!!
Hi
What battery do you have on your build?
What is the firmware on the esc?
If 5.3 then you need to activate the remote ppm ot uart ...not sure how uou are connected.
Is the " dual esc via canbus" true or false in your settings?
@@PavelGarmas hey, sorry to butt in but I have a bluetooth connection issue with my new spintend 100/75 with 5.3 FW. It says it doesn't recognise the firmware when I connect with the Vesc app. Wiring is all correct. Can you elaborate on what you mean in your reply above, about UART and PPM? I think this might help my problem..
@@ollieb7019 Does it work with 5.2?
@@ollieb7019 sorry maby silly question but is the phone App compatible version to 5.3?
I have a dual motor set up. I need some help big time
When i run detection only one motor spins. The local one doesn't spin.. and when i get the detection resuls they are WAY different to each other
Please check the soldering on the phase cable connectors ans make sure that pligs are in a the way and are tight.
Are motors the same? Same make? Same age?
Yeah everything is new same motor same brand new everything.. I'll have to cut and re solder the plugs

@@TinkersGarage
@TinkersGarage
Are the plugs original or you have soldered them?
The plugs are original on the motor side the VESC didn't come with plugs just solder on the ends I soldered 4mm bullets on the ends
Does the setup support Japanese?
Good question... not sure to be honest. Most people speak enough English to work with the tool as it is.
