6384 and VESC for foil assist

[StefanG]

Hi,
I want to use the Mini V6.8 ESC from flipsky (Software Version 5.02) together with a 6384 motor for foil assist.

The problem:
When using current mode, the motor spins up to max RPM at low throttle when in air.
In duty cycle mode the control behavior is better. But there is a small brake current when the throttle is in neutral (about 0.1A).

I don’t like both behaviors.
Duty cycle control with no brake current would be nice but I did not found a solution for this.

How did You solved this problem for VESC in foil assit mode?

When using current mode, the motor spins up to max RPM at low throttle when in air.

This is normal and will go away when in water.

Also that is normal and can not really be changed.

In your case current control will be the best option, as said in water (under load) it will work fine. You can limit ERPM to prevent the motor spinning to crazy high RPM in air.
