3. Informació de seguretat
Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product and connected devices:
- Voltage Límits: Assegureu-vos que l'entrada voltage is within the specified range of 14V-60V (4-13S LiPo cells). Do not exceed 60V, as voltage spikes can cause damage. The safe operating range is typically 4S to 12S.
- Límits actuals: Adhere to the continuous current limit of 70A and instantaneous current limit of 200A. Exceeding these limits can lead to overheating and component failure.
- Connexions adequades: Always double-check all wiring connections (power, motor, signal) before applying power. Incorrect polarity or loose connections can cause severe damage.
- Gestió de la calor: Ensure adequate airflow around the ESC, especially during high-load operation, to prevent overheating. The integrated heatsink aids in thermal management, but proper ventilation is crucial.
- Característiques de protecció: The ESC includes low voltage, alt voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection. Do not bypass or disable these features. Understand their thresholds to avoid unexpected shutdowns.
- Aigua i humitat: Keep the ESC away from water, moisture, and conductive contaminants. This device is not waterproof.
- Instal·lació professional: If you are unsure about any installation steps, seek assistance from a qualified professional.
4. Configuració i instal·lació
Follow these steps for proper installation of your Flipsky FSESC6.7:
- Muntatge: Securely mount the FSESC6.7 in a location that allows for good airflow and protects it from physical damage and moisture.
- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the main power cables (12AWG) from your battery pack to the designated power input terminals on the ESC. Ensure correct polarity (red for positive, black for negative).
- Connexió del motor: Connect the three motor phase wires (12AWG) from your motor to the A, B, and C terminals on the ESC. The order may affect motor direction and can be adjusted in software if needed.
- Connexió del sensor (opcional): If your motor has Hall sensors, connect the sensor cable to the corresponding port on the ESC. The FSESC6.7 supports ABI, HALL, AS5047, and AS5048A sensors.
- Control Interface Connection:
- PPM/PWM: Connect your receiver's PPM/PWM output to the designated PPM input on the ESC.
- UART: For communication with external devices or programming, connect via the UART port.
- USB: Connect the ESC to a computer using a USB cable for configuration and firmware updates via VESC Tool software.
- LLAUNA: For multi-ESC setups, connect ESCs via the CAN bus.
- SPI/IIC: These interfaces are available for advanced sensor integration, such as IMU modules for balancing applications.
- Configuració inicial: After all connections are made, connect the ESC to a computer via USB and use the VESC Tool software for initial setup, motor detection, and parameter configuration. Refer to the VESC Tool documentation for detailed instructions.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
The Flipsky FSESC6.7 offers flexible control options. Once configured via VESC Tool, the ESC operates based on the selected control mode:
- Current Control Mode: The motor current is directly controlled by the input signal (e.g., throttle). This mode provides direct torque control.
- Duty Cycle Control Mode: El motor voltage is controlled by the input signal as a percentage of the battery voltage. This is a basic and common control method.
- Speed Control Mode: The ESC attempts to maintain a target motor RPM based on the input signal. This mode requires accurate motor parameters and sensor feedback.
- Position Control Mode: For applications requiring precise motor positioning, the ESC controls the motor to reach and hold a specific angular position. This typically requires an encoder.
The ESC supports both sensored (with Hall sensors) and sensorless operation, as well as DC, BLDC, and FOC (sinusoidal) motor control modes. Regenerative braking capability is also supported, allowing energy to be returned to the battery during deceleration.
For detailed operation and advanced settings, refer to the VESC Tool software documentation and community resources.
6. Manteniment
To ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your Flipsky FSESC6.7, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Inspecció periòdica: Periodically inspect the ESC for any signs of physical damage, loose connections, or corrosion. Check the heatsink for dust or debris buildup.
- Neteja: Gently clean the exterior of the ESC with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or solvents. Ensure no dust or foreign objects accumulate in the ports or on the circuit board.
- Integritat de la connexió: Verify that all power and signal cables are securely connected and free from fraying or damage. Loose connections can lead to intermittent operation or component failure.
- Gestió tèrmica: Ensure the heatsink remains clear of obstructions and that the ESC has adequate ventilation during operation. Overheating can significantly reduce the lifespan of electronic components.
- Actualitzacions de firmware: Check the official Flipsky website or VESC Tool community for available firmware updates. Keeping the firmware updated can improve performance, add features, and fix bugs.
- Emmagatzematge: When not in use for extended periods, store the ESC in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
