And if it fails closed? Do you have to solder a jumper bypass or something?
After the above, I assume
I wouldnât use one without building in a loop key as well.
But thats just me.

Whatâs the difference between failing open/closed?
Fail closed = always on
fail open = never turns on

Ah, i had it backwards. When mechanical valves fail open, theyâre âcommunicatingâ. Fail closed is off.

Yeah I figured so much. Should have used better logic when I asked my question⌠what happens while riding if they fail open/closed is what I ment⌠Or when do they usually fail? Under use or at startup?
Blame it on my finglish

They fail usually at startup and typically not in the middle of a ride.
If it fails open, well you simply lose power and coast.
If it fails closed, then it acts as a wire.

But you could just bridge it if it fails, no?
Not if it fails open, it needs some modifications then

Put a piece of nickle strip in there and 2 drops of mystery oil and watch that sum bish run like a spotted ape.

Maybe I missed it though, the xmatic app on ios just needs a Bluetooth connection, why couldnât it be used with bkb unity? Is unity not configured with the same vesc tool I use now with other esc?
