What is VESC?
VESC (Vedder Electronic Speed Controller) is an open-source, highly customizable ESC developed by Benjamin Vedder. It’s designed to control brushless DC motors (BLDC) and is widely used in electric skateboards, robots, and other DIY electric vehicle projects. VESC stands out because of its precision control, advanced telemetry, regenerative braking, and real-time monitoring capabilities.

Flipsky VESC
Flipsky is one of the most popular manufacturers of VESC-based controllers. They offer affordable, reliable VESCs with various power ratings, ideal for hobbyists and robotics enthusiasts. Flipsky VESCs come with multiple interfaces for connectivity, making them flexible for different use cases.

Interfaces Explained:

UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter):
Allows serial communication with microcontrollers like Arduino or ESP32. Perfect for sending commands or receiving telemetry data.

USB:
Used mainly for configuration via VESC Tool (available on PC and mobile). It's the easiest way to flash firmware or tune parameters.

CAN (Controller Area Network):
Enables VESCs to communicate with each other. Essential for multi-motor setups where synchronization is critical (like dual-motor robots or boards).

Serial (TX/RX):
Similar to UART, this is a lower-level serial communication. Some people refer to this interchangeably with UART, but it typically means direct pin-level TX/RX access.

Why Use VESC in Robotics?
VESC offers more than just motor control. With precise feedback, real-time data, and safe limits (like current/temperature cutoffs), it's perfect for building reliable and high-performance robots or autonomous vehicles.
