Archived: the OG noob question thread! 😀

You disconnect the usb and restart your board.

Step 12 : remove usb
step 13 : remove power/restart board

I switched to fw 3.62 on 4.12 vescs.

I noticed that on low speed my right motor gets “stuck” as if you hit a rock or something. The motor amps in that moment drop to 0 or even in the negative for a split second.

at the end of the video, right before i stop you can hear a knock. Thats when it happened. It happens on bench and with load. Cannot duplicate it manually. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it does not.

Resistance increases with heat as well the “thermal sensors” are just resistors with known resistance and when heated the increased resistance (or actually the voltage drop from an applied voltage across the resistive wire/element) is measured.

Had that too multiple times, but with firmware 5.1 :sweat_smile::neutral_face:
Not good :frowning:

Your motors are dead Silent though compared to mine :sweat_smile:

I think my Motor is fucky anyway.

takes a bit between both detections. I Recorded and made the detection on the same phone.

video 2 coming in a sec. There the motor stop too with the problem i described before. A split second before the motors stop you can hear the knock again.

The right one doenst sound good… And the clock like ticking is scary :joy::sweat_smile:
Your motors sound like a lawnmower or Harley Davidson bro :joy:

I bought this esc off local craigslist.
Do you guys know what pre-built board its off of?
typical chinese esc, 10s hub motor esc, push to start, auto shut off, only 25km/h max speed though :confused:

Does anyone know where to get adapter cables for Hoverboard chargers? Would need a Hoverboard plug to Xt60 and one to DC Jack 5,5 2,1

I fear that I will reduce the battery life of my 10S3P Samsung 30Q battery significantly by charging it with 5A :frowning:
Any numbers?

Setting up my drive system and one of the motors has a lot of hand resistance. Any suggestions? @b264

Something shorted?

Yah are you saying with disconnected phase wires you feel resistance (no load/belt or anything) if so sounds like phase wires shorted.

Such an incredibly bad name one letter away from “lying”. Should start a clone shop called “weecopy”

i think i misunderstood. so you actually have your board on while upgrading as well?

I don’t have a uSplit so i can’t help with that. I just went with what the steps said. How does one connect the usplit to usb? via the vesc directly?

edit : i see, it has a dedicated usb port.

The question is if the usplit gets enough power from just the usb or if it needs power from the vesc and usb is just for data transfer.

If it needs power from the vesc unplug the usb and restart your board.

If only usb, just usb. But going from the manual i’d say it needs vesc power

I saw your comment on the other thread but…uhm… i don’t know what power cycling means lol
cheers @xsynatic

Power cycling is the act of turning a piece of equipment off and then on again

Power cycle is turning off your board and on
