Those FS 6384 motors are something special…but seriously why is it doing nothing!? Other motor is the same deal, silent and still

New ESC, new problem…oh my god I hate this so much

because your detection numbers are fucking gibberish

just look at the values… This is about the neighborhood your detection values should be…

Your detection is like a gigawatt bigger

I kinda remember what I’m aiming for from detections past, but the second controller is just locking up the motors, like even when not in detection the motors don’t turn by hand

Oh fuck even when not connected to power it does that…I think the gates are blown open…?

So we have…

  • 1 that actually works, made it though detection
  • 1 that thinks it works but is a lying sack of shit and gives garbage numbers
  • 1 that just eats shit and shorts the motor so it locks even when not connected to power
  • 1 that can’t even eat shit because it died (no lights)

…yay

Someone mentioned making small jumps up to FW 5.02. I tried going from Ack to 5.02 and it was timing out like a muhfuher.

I switched to ACK 3.103 on all of them, 2 are totally dead (one shorted the phase leads, other is totally non responsive), one doesn’t actually do detection and just spits out bad numbers that are way off, other is fine

They are all used TB 4.12 and supposedly 2 of them work, and no signs of damage under the cover that I can tell

Hahaha…

…kill me now…

From now on I’m not touching things owned by other people without good reason…I am sick of this shit. Like sometimes it works fine and the rest of the time you get this

At least I saved a Unity today

Did that belong to who I think it belonged to?

Who do you think it belonged to?

But whoever sent it literally destroyed the button and I don’t have the pwm adapter, anyone have spares?

Let’s just say he would buy things, torture them to death, and then sell them as “being in good condition but needing finishing.”

Haha I’m not paying pond crossing shipping rates for this garbage lol, it was from an old friend who has too much stuff on his hands…I was hoping to put some of it to good use

Thread-locker is ok to use, right?

you’re the engineering guy… it says so in your title… why don’t you tell us???

and yes… there are applications where the appropriate genre of lock-tite is called for

Of course

I like Loctite 290 aka “green”

Not only because it works

But because you can use it after you assemble it, if you need to. Of course you can also use it prior to assembly. But some things are just hard to undo and redo again with other shit now in the way…
