It seems to spin up fine. One belt is horrendously clicky.
Forgot to check what way they were spinning but I won the 25% chance lottery that they are going the right way.
30A motor max is really low but good to start with probably
If you put āMotor Current Max Brakeā at 0.00A then there wonāt be brakes. Not familiar with e-driftboards but I donāt think you use brakes on them?
Iām keeping the brakes pretty high for safety. Gotta be able to stop it if need be.
One VESCās lights shine through this pretty well. Other other one not so much maybe I can move it so it does line up.
Those motors are only good for about 30A. Also, you are sending the phase current through the brushes, they canāt handle big current. These boards are more about carving around that raw power or speed,
Did your leiftech have clicking issues?
Kinda sounds like a bad bearing in the motor but it could just be the belt.
Also one motor is spinning up sooner than the other one but just slightly. Not super worried, the noise seems like a bigger issue.
I should probably try running it with the belts off.
Usually tweaking the PWM pulselength settings will help fix that
my god not the microusbs again
My experience with braking on a Leiftech:
- When you are first learning and riding in a āstraight lineā having a brake is very helpful
- Once you learn to slide to a stop, you donāt really need the brake any more but it is nice to ālockā the wheels once you have come to a stop.
- Maybe itās possible to apply brake and slide to a stop at the same time? I tried it a few times but it only made me fall over. It may just be that I didnāt get much practice before the ESC died and I sold my board to @Fosterqc
It was definitely NOT making that noise when I had it. Speaking as someone who has zero experience tweaking ESC settings, my guess would be that the clicking is coming from an ESC setting.
One is also spinning easier than the other idk if you noticed.
also how much wiggle did the motor mount/caster have when you had it?
I only took the pulley off one of the drive units; the other drive unit I left untouched. So I didnāt get a chance to compare how easily the motors were spinning by themselves.
I donāt remember the caster and motor mount having very much play. Maybe a little bit, but both drive assemblies felt solid.
Iām gonna ride it a few times then take it apart
will order this too
one rotates freer than the other but Iām going to see how rideable it is
This is pretty similar to the issue that Iām having. After I test ride it Iāll see what the motor sounds like when free spinning.
The motor could be shot, have to work on getting the plan for the new motors.
I tried riding it on my tiny piece of pavement outside my house with little success. Hopefully the weather gets better soon.
You have to figure out if the sound is coming from the wheel, the motor, or a pulley or transmission component. Iād start taking stuff apart and see when the noise disappears.
You just have to narrow it down
