so, i was lazy when trying to get a scooter working and instead of putting the sockets for thumb throttle into the housing and then plugging it in i just put them on the pins gave them a pull and they didn’t look like they would touch so i powered it up and all was well until the 3.3v and ground touched and bang went the drv, so i replaced the drv and then the 4R7 resistor just under it (Flipsky 4.12 vesc) let out some magic smoke so i replaced that and and the drv again to ensure it wasn’t also broke and it still isn’t working, it pulls quite a lot of current when plugged in initially (about 300ma) but then drops down to next to nothing and it won’t connect to the vesc tool.
I have checked for shorts between the pins and i’m 99.9% sure the ground pad of the drv is soldered.
Thanks
