Hey guys, i bought a scooter for my gf to ride in!! I bought a broken scooter because it was several times cheaper than a new one and I figured that with a vesc I could just replace the controller and almost call it a day.
It turns out I was wrong… Yet again😅
My problem:
I run detection, everything detects, values seem fine but motor doesn’t make any noise nor moves.
I figured it was because I didn’t connect hall sensors, it turns out it wasn’t that.
So I’m left with a cable mess, a sketchy setup and no idea of what to do anymore.
I need help!
(Solder joints are temporary as connector will need to be removed shortly so please no judgement)
I should add that I’ve tried all types of motors in motor detection, I’ve also done the foc detection by hand. And I tried to run it in bldc with no success.
Did you ever figure this out? I just had almost the same issue, my motors spun fine and detected perfectly normally during motor detection but when setting direction neither motor spins.
My values look like that, it’s weird, on the direction setting stage of the wizard the motors wouldn’t turn and made a horrible screeching noise. They detected and spun fine in detection and worked just fine on the road, I just couldn’t spin them in the wizard.
I was testing a scooter motor on a foxbox, and I determined that it was probably too big to work with such old hardware. (The motor spinned perfectly with other escs)
Its true lol, way to high values… You have to take in account that this is a very low kV motor and that it is bigger than most motors that we normally use (in size not power)
That’s an issue between you and the vendor. You decided to pay that specific company. Some are better than others, especially when it comes to software.
i will check with my unity tomorrow to see if it does the same thing
