Yep. Jumps an bumps.

Definitely sounds like a solder issue. Hopefully he responds.

To update. They’ve contacted me and apologised.
They’ve been moving over recent weeks. @kevingraehl perhaps this explains the lack of contact.

Wow the heatsink for the dv4 is quite large
Both Vescs weigh about the same too.

You got a good esc there.

Interesting, the old version of the dv4 was very different
Do you have a pic of the old DV4?

Not really, it’s inside a board right now and doesn’t have a heatsink lol
It didn’t come with one back then to be fair

Hmm that’s interesting. I’m glad it has one now though
Actually I did have a pic in the build thread

Hmm its completely different too. Hopefully from here on out every vesc will come with a heatsink.

Update on the DV6:
I’ve noticed that when the MOFSET temperature is low, my board would hit very high speed. And since I did have my settings to 85°c temperature slow down start, why does it slow down at 75°c? I noticed that when I was having a race against an electric bike with my board.
My board would leave that bike in the dust, but after 75°c mosfet temperature, it slows down dramatically. Is there a setting to change so this can hit the 85° cutoff start or is this something I’m only getting from the esc?
Edited: I think it’s the temperature sensor from the motors. But the last time I checked, it didn’t work. I’ll edit this if it’s the motor…
You could try setting your motor temp limit to something really high and see

Hi!
Can Go-FOC DV6 handle the AS5047 encoder?
I can’t find a connector on it that supports sensors.
All VESCs support some absolute encoders, you may have to remove and bridge some snubbing resistors on the hall sensing circuit but otherwise you connect them the same you would hall sensors via channel A/B/I and either 5v or 3.3v and ground. Interference is known to be a problem with both hall sensors and encoders so shielded wire would do you some good here.
Thanks! I will try based on the VESC6 schema.

I thought I’d ask here as I’m getting no response via email.
My faulty DV6 was supposed to be being sent back but the address given seems to be an invalid address.
Anyone else has any joy sending one of these back?
