Hi All,
I tried searching and doesn’t seem like anyone came across this issue yet. Please help:
-Basically sometimes my Focbox Unity VESC won’t power off via the stock power button
-I have to open up my enclosure to disconnect the battery to turn it off
-tends to happen after I bolt up my enclosure
-started happening after I was caught in the rain once for 1min in the summer
-while I can’t turn it off, my remote is Hoyt Puck Remote is unresponsive & my VESC Tool app will also say “cannot read firmware…” Screenshot below
-everything fine after I disconnect/reconnect the battery (I can ride it, program it, turn it on/off etc.)
Any ideas? is it condensation or something? Really hoping to not have to buy a new VESC @_@
While in this “coma” mode, the power button stays lit and would not turn off once it is turned on. Only way I could turn it off is disconnect the battery. Basically unresponsive button whilst in “coma” mode.
maybe the switch is at fault trying to non stop power cycling the unity, unplug the switch and use a screwdriver to short the 2 MOM pins (short period, don’t hold it) and see if the unity still has the same problem
if no, then its drity cheap and easy to replace a MOM switch
Cool. I didn’t know i can turn the VESC on/off via shorting the 2 MOM pins. I just did that and was able to power on/off the VESC multiple times with no issues.
I think it is indeed the power button which i don’t have an extra lying around (my other board uses flipsky 6.6 duel plus, so I don’t believe the plug is the same)
For now I just wiggled the switches wires and hope the problem doesn’t show up again. If it does, I’ll just get a new switch~
