If you have just got a brand, new VESC module, there’s a good chance it is on older firmware.
#Vesc com port detected but bldc tool deosn't update
The very FIRST thing you will want to do before doing anything with your VESC software is to update the firmware. Also, this can save you pains of opening up your VESC/battery enclosure to access the USB port, which can be a pain. We do HIGHLY RECOMMEND the bluetooth module. Also, you can change the parameters on the go, that way you can try out different settings WHILE you ride. This also helps you log your GPS/speed/parameters while you ride your board. You can do this by getting a Flipsky bluetooth module($10), which will allow you to do everything on your smartphone. Our preferred method is to use the VESC Android/iOS app. Depending on your VESC, it may use micro-USB or mini-USB. VESC is programmed using a USB cable from your computer to the VESC USB port. This tutorial with teach you the simplest method to setup your VESC and also outline some of the more important settings you will want to pay attention to.įor those of you using dual VESC such as Flipsky Dual 4.20 or 6.60 or using two VESC with CAN connector, make sure to connect your USB cable to the second “slave” VESC.

With a good cable and the right driver installed, your PC shoud present a COM port even if you would completely remove the ESP32 module from the board, because the USB communication is not handled by the ESP32.While VESC has very good documentation for its open source software, if it’s your first time setting up VESC, you may be overwhelmed with endless of options/parameters.

You might just need to install a driver for the USB to serial chip on your dev board. So if one dev board works and another one doesn't, that does not necessarily mean the board is defective. Although the ESP32 module may be the same, you might have a dev board with a different USB to serial converter than other devices you might have tested on your computer. Without a driver the chip probably turns up as unsupported or unrecognised device in your hardware list. If you have a driver for that chip instaled, otherwise it won't work. This chip communicates with your computer, resulting in the creation of a virtual COM port.

A dev board typically includes some sort of USB to serial converter chip (sometimes refered to as FTDI). Don't just check if it charges your phone, but check if you are actually able to transfer data.Ģ) The USB connection is not handled by the ESP32, as an ESP32 only has serial lines (rx and tx), no USB.

So make sure you have a 'real' USB cable by testing it on another device. If you would use a cable like that, the result would be what you described. I assume these have only 2 out of 4 wires: ground and +5V, but no data lines. Apart from what kolban said, I would like to add two comments:ġ) Nowadays there are a lot of cheap (Chinese) USB cables that can only be used for charging or powering devices.
