Figure 7: Magnified view of the pinouts for various interfaces, including CAN, Sensor Voltage, SENSE, SWD, COMM2, COMM1, PPM, and Micro USB, providing clear guidance for connections.

1. Conexión do motor: Connect the three motor phase wires to the corresponding outputs on the ESC.
2. Conexión da batería: Connect your LiPo battery (3S-12S) to the XT90 female connector. Ensure correct polarity.
3. Anti-spark Switch: The LED button for the anti-spark switch must be connected before powering on the unit. Failure to do so can damage the switch.
4. Cable do sensor: If using a sensored motor, connect the VESC Sensor Wire to the SENSE port.
5. PPM Cable: For remote control input, connect the PPM cable to the PPM port.
6. Conexión USB: Use the Micro USB cable to connect the ESC to a computer for configuration via VESC TOOL.
7. Bus CAN: The CAN interface (1) allows for communication with other VESC-compatible devices.
8. COMM1/COMM2: These ports (5, 6) support IIC, SPI, and UART communication protocols for external modules.

Configuración inicial:

After physical connections, the ESC requires configuration using the VESC TOOL software. This tool allows you to set motor parameters, battery limits, and control modes. Refer to the official VESC TOOL documentation for detailed instructions on software usage and parameter tuning.

6. Instrucións de funcionamento

Once the FSESC 6.7 Pro is properly installed and configured, follow these general operating guidelines:

1. Encendido: Ensure all connections are secure. Press the anti-spark LED button to power on the ESC.
2. Comprobación do sistema: Before operating, perform a brief system check to ensure the motor responds correctly to control inputs and there are no unusual noises or vibrations.
3. Seguimento: If possible, monitor ESC temperature and battery voltage during operation, especially during initial runs or under heavy load.
4. Apagado: Always power off the ESC using the anti-spark LED button when not in use. Disconnect the battery for long-term storage.

Important Safety Note: Do not exceed the specified voltage and current limits. Overloading the ESC can lead to permanent damage and potential safety hazards.

7. Mantemento

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your FSESC 6.7 Pro.

• Limpeza: Keep the ESC clean and free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Inspeccións: Periodically inspect all wiring and connectors for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections.
• Xestión térmica: Ensure adequate airflow around the ESC, especially during high-current applications, to prevent overheating. The aluminum case is designed for heat dissipation, but external cooling may be necessary in extreme conditions.
• Actualizacións de firmware: Check the official FLIPSKY or VESC project websitio para actualizacións de firmware. A actualización do firmware pode mellorar o rendemento e engadir novas funcións.
