Broken FSesc: Blinking red and green troubleshooting.

Hey, I just finished my new Mountainboard. I want on a nice ride yesterday with no problems. I charged over night and now one vesc is not working anymore and blinking red and green together(blue pulsating)

I have the Flipsky dual 6.6
It’s on while charging because my bms does not have a separate carge port und I have no anti spark. Is that a problem?

Does anyone know what could have happened? I can ship it in Europe if you maybe can Repair it.

Having the boars on while charging has never been a problem for me. Can you connect to that vest with the rapid blinking lights and reload firmware?

Charging with connected ESC is no issue. Your titel should be called Broken FS 6.6. Its not a VESC, but VESC based ESC. The Charging is not the cause of the problem. You should try to establish a USB connection.
Maybe you can re-flash it.

There isn’t an alternative yet

Maker-x is promising

Promising, but they’re probably given out far fewer units than flipsky and they’re still having issues with them. Also the price is higher and the performance is lower (In the pursuit of size)

The thing is I can buy 2x flipsky 6.6 Dual and still have money left compared to 2x Trampa vesc.
This is the first problem I had with one after 4 successful builds. I’m running the smaller 6.6 dual plus on 80A no problems for a long time.

I guess I’ll buy Trampa ones this time because they arrive in 3 days. I don’t want to wait 2 weeks from China now.

The Trampa vesc are Great but if I want to run 50-100A the flipsky ones are just fine. Maybe you get unlucky once but overall it will save a lot of money.

Btw is there a tutorial to setup push to start, hibernate and all that stuff on for the vesc 6mk4? I have no idea were to find them in the vesc tool.

Check https://www.vesc-project.com/comment/4765#comment-4765 that should be all you need for push to start and power on power off

While i can’t fully defend trampa pricing i must say that it’s the vesc and it has full support from the seller, unlike flipsky where when it dies, it’s just more e-waste and you never see your money back.
I’m still surprised how damn smooth a vesc 6 with v0/v7 turned on is

Look at the LaCroix 60D, prolly a better option considering the current form factor.
