VESC 6 MkVI

Description

VESC® 6 MKVI Speed Controller, the 6th major product update of the world famous VESC 6 motor controller product line. Packed with a variety of amazing features, this VESC motor controller is certainly worthy of it’s gold logo.

New features, setting it apart from the previous MKV edition are: Second UART port, increased current handling, SPI wired IMU, sensor voltage adjustment in software, Spin-To-Sart deactivation option, black anodized housing.

The first VESC controller capable of hibernating, your board can conserve power while not in use – reducing power consumption to just 20μA – less than the self-discharge rate of the batteries. Or with automatic power off, your VESC controller can switch itself off after a set amount of time.

Compatible with power buttons / switches, the VESC 6 MKVI controller can be ready to go with a single press / flick. If desired, multiple devices can share a single button.

STS (Spin-To-Start) – it’s possible to set your board to power up with a small kick/nudge! This feature can now be enabled or disabled.
Features
