Flipsky 75100 VESC and 6384

[Savoie]

Can anyone tell me if the 6384 motor and folding propeller with a Flipsky 75100 VESC is a good combination?

Does the VESC also work if the Hall sensors are not connected to the motor?

I would like to use the combination on my SUP as a assist and on my wingfoil (actually Fanatic 2400cm2) as a support.

Depends on the version, could work but you could also run into overheating. You can run it sensorless.

thank you for the fast answer.

I would go for the water cooled edition:

or is there a better vesc for the 6384 motor?

Have a look at @t-dub-maui thread.

My simple bolt-on build on Maui (VESC, 6384, 10s2p)

Hi, I’ve been reading here for a while and recently completed my first build. Creating this thread to document my progress and lessons learned. My goal for this build was to build something simple similar to Foil Drive Assist that I can use with different boards. I’ll probably mostly use it to catch waves/swell, but I also want to do a little bit of efoiling. For efoiling, I’m using an Axis mast with the motor mounted closer to the fuselage. The motor cables are routed inside the mast. For …

Edit: I am running the V2.0 pro as per link below.

This is my current setup used as a foil assist and it is working well. Certainly could do with some fine tuning in the VESC TOOL.

No issues with overheating and plenty of Efoil time. I have not modified the 75100 FSESC but it is in contact with an aluminium flat bar external to the case. (Similar to what others are doing with their heat sinks)

Again this is my first VESC so I have very little knowledge on how to setup etc.

Hall sensors are not required, I am running in PPM with the VX3, still yet to investigate the UART connection to display everything correctly on the remote.

Also had a few sessions with an iPhone running the VESC TOOL app and a screen capture. Pretty neat I think.

[Savoie]

sounds good.
In this case, the air-cooled one could also work if I mount a heat sink or a heat exchanger plate through which I let water run.

I think the wires on the 6384 motor are pretty thin at 16AWG. I think I will fit thicker ones. For 100A I would have to use at least 9AWG?
I’m leaning towards 12AWG - the continuous load is not always 100A. However, I will use approx. 2m long motor cables.

That’s an interesting setup, Cephalofoil! I received my Flipsky 75100 pro V2 yesterday and am now embarking on the same path like you for efoil wirh a 6384 130KV motor. I’m going to use a 10S3P battery and would be interested to know the following:

• FOC or BLDC mode?
• duty cycle or current control mode?
• what max battery and motor currents did you set?
  I’ve been using my previous 6384 setup for e-foiling with 8S3P and a Max6. Works great but I’ve been toying with a smaller VESC on the bench to learn the setup procedure. There I’m using the Flipsky VX in UART mode with current control and found the BLDC motor mode gives me a few hundred RPMs more. I get all parameters such as VESC temp, Amps, Wattage etc displayed in the VX3. Now trying to replicate that for the real world. You mentioned you’re trying to move from PWM to UART control, so I could give you some pointers as it took me a while to figure it out.

[Savoie]

can anyone tell me the minimum basic settings for the 6384 in conjunction with the vsc 75100?

[Monaro]

Depends what battery and remote you’re using. I can send you the xml files for motor and application that you could upload to the VESC.
I have pretty much squeezed the best out of my set up i believe. I get 45 mins and about 15km distance pure efoiling with dual 10S3P batteries in parallel. I run my VX3 in UART mode, but have build the same system for a mate with a Maytech 1905 V3 in PPM.
Both use the Flipsky 140KV 6384 motor and genuine 2 blade Foil-drive propeller.

[Savoie]

I am interested in the configuration files.

Currently it would be for a SUP drive, only with 6 Lipo 8Ah.
I can make the battery settings in the VESC, that’s clear to me so far.
I use the 6384 120kv with folding propeller 3d printed.

For my foil I use the 6384 140kv also with folding propeller 3d printed. But with 12S.

Remote control is flipsky vx3 and currently I get the 6384 to run via uart, but in dry running I have the feeling the startup is very hard (compared to the current ESC from Flier.)
Not shure what to set for max amp and if the motor startup can be optimized.
