Currently setting up a BKB Xenith for the first time on a scooter build. I’m trying to use ADC1 for throttle and ADC2 for brake as I have done in the past, but the ESC won’t register any ADC2 signal. In the ADC voltage mapping screen I only see ADC2 hovering at 1.61V and doesn’t change. I verified that my brake sensor is outputting correctly and it is wired correctly to the Xenith. I’m currently on 5.2, wondering if it’s a hardware or software issue. Has anyone experienced this? Have the exact same throttle setup wired to vec 6’s and FOCbox singles and never had any issues. Using variESC 5.02

Downloaded 23.46 and still not registering any ADC2 input.

Oh someone else has this issue!
I have a unity that I gave up trying to get ADC2 to work on. Exact same setup as you I think, 2 throttles, GND and 3/5V in parallel with ADC1 and 2 hooked up. Both were 100% functional, but ADC2 never read anything but 1.8V which is apparently no signal voltage.
You could use a 2 way throttle, which means you can regen brake and accelerate using adc1 only but an actal solution would be ideal

I wonder if it would be possible to jump the ADC2 pin to the MCU directly. I would really like to try and get this working, but worst case I’ll try for a 2 way throttle. @BuildKitBoards is this an issue you have seen with the Xeniths? I would swap to some single foxboxes but I really wanted to have the built in anti spark/roll to start on this build.

I assume that since the MCU has built in ADC’s, then the ADC1 and 2 are traced directly to those pins? I’m wondering if it’s possible that there is a missing resistor. that would make more sense then an ADC channel being blown
ADCs aren’t supper common and I have never personally used one. I’ll look into it and see if I can find anything

basically anything with a throttle will use ADC (Gokart, ebike/emoto, some esurfs, escooter)
