So back to the topic…Why does my board run in reverse even though the direction is and was correct in the detection?

Remote is calibrated and wizard went good.

just flip the direction in vesc tool and try again?

Nah, i hate to use software based direction changes. I want it physical.

that’s what i did. I already swapped the phase wire so it is in the correct order.

if i do this its in reverse
A - A
B - B
C - C

but when i connect them like this, its forward. (this is how i have it)
A - A
C - B
B - C

but even after doing that, completing the motor direction (which spins in the right direction) and doing the remote wizard it turns reverse.

Remote values are like they should.

we’ll be right back.

You do realise you can change the direction after detection in software right? You’re massively overcomplicating this

but why ignore a problem thats hasn’t been there previously.?

Afaik there has been an instance where the software based direction changed on its own. Don’t want that, nah.

I have had motors spin up in the opposite direction they spin up in the detection. If you are having issues, wind back to 3.65 and be done with it.

Will the remote I am currently using be able to connect to a new vesc? Halo Board Ergonomic remote

nope, but u can get a relatively cheap remote, like a VX1

Recently bought a used TB Vesc, having trouble updating the firmware…it connects and uploads the firmware but every time i re connect is puts the old firmware on (3.58) how do i fix this?

4wd CanBus connection question

I’ve got two HW4 onloop boxes and two HW6 Jedboxes (the bitter little pill)

do I just parallel the CanBus H and CanBus L connection to make 4 work as one?

do I have to worry about CanBus terminating resistors? or?
