Thanks Lars I tried this in my garden today and it worked !!

I put the Vesc in PID speed control mode, and in the motors settings I set reverse erpm to 1500. In reverse throttle it unrolls really slow and if you try to pull faster than the motors unrolls the vesc stop sending current and it starts to freewheel exactly the way I wanted !! Amazing :grin: good thing is when you release the throttle it brakes strong when you pull the cable, perfect to unstuck the cable if it’s stuck in rocks or in vegetation while walking.

Thanks for your help guys, tomorrow I’m trying it with some friends, let’s see :grimacing:

Sounds great. Hopefully I can test out my winch when I get a chance.

Just an update from my side. I managed to get out and test my winch with VESC’s. I set it up in forward only with brake. This worked perfectly in all cases. I had full power on the start. If I let go of the throttle it braked immediately. I was able to walk the line back out fine.
