Generally the motors are pretty robust so unless you had a sustained high current fault (you would notice smoke and a terrible smell) the motor should be fine. With that said, the error code saying 227A is not super comforting.
Sorry for your issue but welcome to the flipshit ESC world. I went with their ESC’s a few times (v4.2) and had the same issues each time. I would trash them, and if you’re looking for a cheap reliable ESC, go with a MakerX. When my Flipy ESC threw a DRV code I wanted to see what one would do if plugged into the wall paging @b264
Yeah my 4.20 blew as well, I can’t tell if it would give a Metr output because I don’t have a Metr pro module, but it looks like it’s fully lights out.
I’m not quite at that point yet but that module gets closer to being detonated every day. I’m studying electronics so I’m using it as a guide on what not to do and at least getting something interesting out of the autopsy
Maybe your uninsulated phase wire bullets touched for a brief second? I like to use transparent tape (fiberglass one, hehe) to insulate them from one another. Let’s me see that they’re still plugged together well.
Just checked the MakerX website, the Mini FOC should be enough given that I’ve run my vesc at max 30A until now. And it’s also really small, a big plus for my setup!
I’ve read that theirs VESC use different JST connectors (not the PH), do they also sell pre-crimped connector extension ?
There’s someone in this forum from EU that replace the drv chip or it’s not worth it?
I had isolated phase wire bullets in the enclosure but now that I’ve unassembled all the components I wanted to try the motor after several attempts to remove the stucked pulley to test that I haven’t broken it but maybe I screwed myself right here by not isolating the phases during the tests…
I did it.
The motor with phase wires not connected seems to spin fine.
During tests 3,4,5 I noticed that connecting phase B to phase C and hand-spinning the motor clockwise it feels smooth and not choppy as in the other cases… that’s might be an issue?
