LACROIX Stormcore ESC and iOS app info

My set up is
6380 170kv
100 motor amps
90 battery
38v soft cut
35v hard cut

Similar cut outs to how Cisco described it
Will post my logs again in a bit, but they are posted up higher

Difference being is my core came back up after it cut out, and I got a DRV error, and after it happened the second time, antispark stopped working

Do you think you need a new unit @CiscoV

Idk man. We going to leave that up to Lacroix to decide. All I know is that Iā€™m not riding this thing until a fix has been found.

If you look at my log picture I was moving a bit
Donā€™t know if Iā€™ll be lucky to walk away unharmed next time the problem occurs

I like logs and here is my qualified guess on what happenedā€¦:nerd_face:

It looks like the esc was turned off mid run. What keeps the esc alive afterwards is the the induced voltage by the motors which are still spinning, the motor voltage is now rectified by the three phase bridge.

ESC is alive as long as there is enough DC voltage. The rectified voltage now fallā€™s linearly with your speed as seen in the logā€¦ but then suddenly the esc is prechargedā€¦ and then turned off again. Short after you come to a stop and then there is no voltage generated anymore to keep the esc alive.

Something funny is going on with the precharge circuit/ button in your setup. :man_shrugging:

Yeah! Definitely something going on there. Iā€™m no expert at non of that stuff. All I know is that power cut outs suck big time

Specially when they happen when riding on public roads with the possibility of incoming traffic and stuff like that haha
Not healthy :rofl:

So these power issues are on which model?
Starting to freak out here with 60d soon to do its maiden voyage.

atleast replacing will be quicker than the healing

I did this search, seems he was mad about cloud wheels and people dismissed him? what did i miss? seems people have some strong opinion of him that I canā€™t get to from the reading.

should we dismiss the 100S blowing up on him because itā€™s him? I donā€™t understand.

So I wouldnā€™t say the Stormcore is not ready. What itā€™s not ready for is the setup and settings you are pushing them in.

So, whatā€™s the setup and settings stormcore 100s is not ready for? Iā€™m curious.

Mine happened on 60d

Riding like an animal up and down SF hills. None the less, this should not happen

Iā€™d like to think so

I took a few screen shots as the ride progressed

Last one was after the cut out. Did the last part of the ride trying to use very minimal power
