Hey there everyone, first post on the forum so I would just like to thank all of you for the inspiration and motivation to design and build my first efoil.
It’s been a long road and there’s still a while to go, but I’m making progress and hope to be up and flying in a month or so.
Now to my question or plea for advice.
I have connected my LG HG2 210 cell 14S15P battery to my Trampa VESC 75/300 and this is connected to my flying rodeo motor and prop.
This is controlled by the Trampa Wand V1.2, and initial testing seems to be good. Battery, VESC, and motor temps are better than expected and the trust is insane, and there is where my question is.
The motor is running very well, but the throttle curve is from 0 to see your A&é"’(é" in 5 seconds, the new VESC tool does not show the calibration function anymore, and I am not 100% sure of all my settings. Is there anyone here with a similar setup that could steer me in the right direction?
Here is my XML code:
