Work with VESC 6 #6

Hello.

I have a VESC 6 and I can't get it to read any data. I have the UART wired to the Serial1 of an arduino mega. Any ideas why it would not work? Let me know if you need more info.

  1. Cross TX and RX from Serial1 to the VESC
  2. Ensure your baud rates match. Although I can set the baud rate in VESC Tools to other baud rates, my ESC always seems to use 115200, so that's what I run the Arduino at. If you are unsure, try all the common baud rates:)
  3. Check a good ground between Arduino and ESC. A scope helped me debug data was going in both directions.

Hi, this repo is a little messy and does not full implement vesc interface. i invite yout to use my new implementation https://github.com/gianmarcov/arduino_vesc it cover all the functionallity of the vesc.

It's also well documented https://gianmarcov.github.io/arduino_vesc
