Just bench testing my v4 before getting everything installed in the enclosure. Iām having some issues getting a NO momentary switch to function. I have it wired to switch and ground on the 3-pin switch connector. My understanding is that App Cfg->General->Shutdown Mode should allow auto shutdown or toggle, but it doesnāt shut down after a time or toggle. The switch only shuts the esc off when closed like the latching switch. Is there another pin I am supposed to be connecting to for shutdown modes to function? Thanks
Thatās because it needs a NC momentary switch. Who did you buy it from?

Thank you. I didnāt know that, but now that you say it, I realize itās obvious. I source and build my own stuff so thatās my mistake.
I just hooked up a latching switch to mimic the function of NC momentary and it works great. Very excited. I really appreciate the the continued improvement youāve put into the product.

Hi, I have a 3.1 and my SuperFlux rubbed through one of the phase wires and appears to have blown up one of the lines for my Hall Sensor. I fixed everything and replaced one of the hall sensors but it still only detects 2 of the 3 sensors working. I verified with a meter that all 3 work and the voltage oscillates between 3.3v and 0v on the 2 good lines but 5v and 0v on the broken one. I swapped 2 wires and the issue stays on the same pin on the focer so I know all 3 hall sensors are good.
I was wishing it might be the chip labeled 6J5 in the pictureā¦ Any chance thatās the problem or is the CPU trashed? If so, is there somewhere I can get it repaired? Can someone tell me what that chip is. I cannot find it.

Iām thinking about doing a batch of LFOC v4 units sold directly by me for relatively cheap. It may be the only way I can counter the possible increase in tariffs coming our way in the US.
Unit price would be $200 per unit and better if buying 5 or more. Would anyone be interested in this? I would need to do a batch of at least 50 units to be worth it.

With the proposed 25% tariffs for stuff coming out of the states in addition to what shipping already costs, it would have to be 2 motors worth of controller for that cost to make it worth it.
Maybe for Americans you could get the cost reasonable, but not for anyone else on this continent.
I can probably find a home for a few.

One thing is that sometimes tariffs donāt apply if the value of the item is under a certain threshold. Hopefully there will be some documentation I can read on this so that I can ship stuff to individuals in Canada without extra cost
