Description

When Trampa got involved in university projects and supporting students in their engineering studies, it became clear that the students needed a different version of the popular VESC6 to work with.

Enter the VESC6 EDU. This VESC is a smaller less powerful educational version of the VESC6 but still gives full access to all the VESC6 features whilst being significantly more affordable.

The VESC6 EDU has since become popular outside of the educational environment too as it is a very versatile and capable motor controller able to run custom code, for example you can:

  • Drive a small display
  • Drive LED’s
  • Self balance a robot
  • Load a custom UI to your smart phone
  • Add missing features
  • Communicate
  • Send and receive CAN frames
  • Run your custom app
  • Get rid of external controllers
  • Share code and get creative

Technical Specs:

Voltage:

• 6V – 25V (Safe for 2S to 6S LiPo/LiIon). Voltage spikes may not exceed 75V

• 5V 0.5A output for external electronics

• 3.3V 0.5A output for external electronics

• Combined 3.3V and 5V – no more than 1A

Current:

• Continuous 25A, burst 50A (values depend on the mounting, ambient temperature and air/water circulation around the device)

VESC Electronic Speed controller with cables

The VESC Electronic Speed Controller.

Globally renowned high quality motor controller

You will likely have come across VESC™ by now, it is very special in the field of Electronic Speed Controllers so we are very proud that our boards all come as standard with a VESC™ and VESC™ BMS.

VESC6 Mk6 HP – Quite simply a higher powered version of the VESC6 Mk6, with the same trusted reliability and ease of control. Why High Power? Because the mosfets in the HP allow more amps to run through.

VESC6 Mk6 – An incredibly reliable and high performing compact speed controller, used by over 2000 companies in many other applications across the world

VESC 6/75 – If you are using a 16s Battery Pack to power your mountainboard this controller will automatically be selected to handle the higher voltage.

Which Battery Pack?

We make battery packs for both Li-Po & Li-Ion cells.  The (S) stands for Series - adding cells in series increases voltage, The (P) stands for Parallel - adding cells in parallel increases capacity.
A higher voltage will take you faster and higher capacity will take you further. See the table below for further comparison:.

Li-Po: These cells are more expensive, however you may consider them worth it because they have less components and therefore provide easy plug and play capability as well as making it possible to do a quick battery swap. Li-Po cells also have a higher discharge performance than the Li-ion packs. 

Li-ion:  Individual cells means that you have a serviceable battery pack, swapping out only the individual cells should they be damaged. These cell packs require some electrical knowledge.  

We suggest that if you have limited electrical knowledge that you choose Li-Po batteries for their ease.
