When you did the input wizard and it asked you to throttle up and down, did the vesctool show a bar going up and down (left to right really) like it was following your remote?

no nothing happened, seems like there is a problem with the controller mabye?

Does the vesc tool still move the bars even if control type is “off” instead of PPM?

got it to work thanks guys

Hmm not sure. @Vetle204 what was the fix?

Anyone know if I can run the flipsky enhanced antispark without the button plugged in, IE roll to start only?

Did you change control type to current hyst instead of off?

Yes, unless RT APP is not illuminated on the right side.

had to rewire from uart to ppm

My 6374s currently hit the low 60s in temperature pretty fast on a 1:6.2 gear ratio if I push hard. I do want a little more speed though, so do you think it’ll be fine to drop down to 1:5.64 or even 1:5.17 and stay reasonably cool or will I need bigger motors?

Has anyone ran into a problem similar to mine? I have a stormcore 60D mounted to my pelican 1200 enclosure. The problem is when Im done riding and go to drag my board into my house I always power it off, but I’ve been noticing lately it has been powering back on all on its own by the time I get inside. I ruled out accidentally bumping it on the door when I’m dragging it in and it has happened the last 3 days of riding and seems to only happen when am moving the board.

Do you have a roll to start feature? I’m pretty sure that’ll turn your ESC on if your wheels spin at all. I could be wrong.

I will check my settings today.

Hi, I was riding my board and came up to a road crossing, I hit the brakes and walked over, but when I tried using my board again the wheels where locked up. Using the remote did nothing and everytime i powered on the board the wheels locked up. I opened the board and updated and the software as well as redo the setup in VESC TOOL. The board seemed fine, but today, when going up a pretty steep hill, my board decided to constantly spin (not at 100% throttle, more like 30%). When I power on the board everything seems fine, but when i try to accelerate using the remote it does not respond, but suddenly it starts to spin, independent off what I do with the remote. I use a FLIPSKY Dual FSESC4.20 Plus. Anyone got a clue as to what to do?

What remote

Its definitely the roll to start feature turning it back on. I’ve never tried to disable it my self, it may be possible in vesctool.
I’d just shut it down after you roll it inside.
