2.1 การแกะกล่องและตรวจสอบส่วนประกอบ

Before beginning installation, ensure all components are present and undamaged.

Figure 3: Included components: 1x FSESC 4.12 controller, 1x USB cable, and 1x hall sensor cable.

2.2 คำแนะนำในการเดินสายไฟ

Follow the wiring diagram carefully to connect the VESC 4.12 to your motor, battery, and receiver.

Figure 4: Wiring diagram for the VESC 4.12. Connect the battery, motor phase wires, hall sensors (if applicable), USB for configuration, CAN bus for multiple VESC setups, and the receiver.

1. การเชื่อมต่อมอเตอร์: Connect the three phase wires from the motor to the VESC. Ensure these connections are properly insulated.
2. Hall Sensor Connection: If your motor has hall sensors, connect the hall sensor cable from the motor to the VESC's hall sensor port.
3. Anti-Spark Switch: Connect the anti-spark switch between the battery and the VESC.
4. การเชื่อมต่อแบตเตอรี่: Connect the battery to the anti-spark switch, then to the VESC.
5. การเชื่อมต่อตัวรับสัญญาณ: Connect your PPM receiver to the VESC, typically to Channel 1.

2.3 การกำหนดค่าเครื่องมือ VESC

The VESC 4.12 requires configuration using the VESC Tool software. This process involves connecting the VESC to a computer via USB and running setup wizards.

1. เชื่อมต่อกับพีซี: Connect the VESC to your computer using the provided USB cable.
2. Launch VESC Tool: เปิดโปรแกรม VESC Tool บนคอมพิวเตอร์ของคุณ
3. Motor Setup Wizard: Navigate to the 'Motor Setup Wizard' and follow the prompts.
   • Select 'FOC' as the motor type.
   • Set current limits (e.g., Motor Current Max 60A, Battery Current Max 60A).
   • Configure battery cutoff voltage (e.g., for 10 cells, set start to 34.00V and end to 31.00V).
   • Choose 'Hall Sensors' if your motor has them, then run the detection.
   • Apply the detected parameters.
4. App Setup Wizard: Proceed to the 'App Setup Wizard' for input configuration.
   • Select 'PPM input' for conventional RC receivers.
   • Perform PPM mapping by moving your remote's throttle to its minimum, center, and maximum positions to calibrate the pulse length.
   • ใช้การตั้งค่า
5. การตัดการเชื่อมต่อ: Always disconnect the VESC from the VESC Tool software before unplugging the USB cable.

3. คู่มือการใช้งาน

Once the VESC 4.12 is properly wired and configured using the VESC Tool, it is ready for operation. The controller will interpret signals from your PPM receiver to control the motor's speed and direction.

• เปิดเครื่อง: Ensure all connections are secure, then turn on your battery and receiver. The VESC should power up and be ready to receive commands.
• ควบคุมคันเร่ง: Use your remote control's throttle to accelerate and decelerate the motor. The VESC's configuration determines the responsiveness and limits of the motor.
• การเบรก: Apply the brake via your remote control. The VESC provides progressive electric braking as configured during setup.
• การตรวจสอบความปลอดภัย: Always perform a brief functional test in a safe, open area before full operation to ensure all controls respond as expected.

4. การบำรุงรักษา

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your VESC 4.12.

• เฟิร์มแวร์: It is recommended to keep the firmware version 5.2 as shipped from the factory. Upgrading to newer firmware versions may potentially damage the ESC.
• การตรวจร่างกาย: Periodically inspect all wiring and connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Ensure all components are securely mounted.
• ความสะอาด : Keep the VESC free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry brush or compressed air for cleaning. Avoid using liquids directly on the board.
• พื้นที่จัดเก็บ: Store the VESC in a dry, cool environment when not in use.

5 การแก้ไขปัญหา

If you encounter issues with your VESC 4.12, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• ไม่มีไฟฟ้า: Check all battery connections, the anti-spark switch, and ensure the battery is charged. Verify the VESC's power indicator light.
• Motor Not Spinning/Irregular Operation:
  • Re-run the Motor Setup Wizard in VESC Tool to re-detect motor parameters.
  • Ensure motor phase wires are correctly connected and insulated.
  • Verify hall sensor connections if using a sensored motor.
  • ตรวจสอบว่ามีการเชื่อมต่อหลวมหรือสายไฟเสียหายหรือไม่
• ปัญหาการควบคุมระยะไกล:
  • Ensure the receiver is properly connected to the VESC and powered.
  • Re-run the App Setup Wizard for PPM mapping to recalibrate the remote's pulse lengths.
  • Check the remote's battery level.
• VESC Tool Connection Problems: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the VESC and the computer. Try a different USB port or cable. Confirm that the VESC is powered when attempting to connect.
• Unexpected Behavior/Damage: Avoid testing the VESC on conductive surfaces like metal desks, as this can cause short circuits and damage. Always ensure proper insulation and a safe working environment.
• ปัญหาในการอัปเกรดเฟิร์มแวร์: As noted in maintenance, upgrading firmware from the factory-shipped version (5.2) may cause damage. If issues arise after an upgrade, consult FLIPSKY technical support.
