Hello guys, I disassembled my board today, cleaned the electronics, made motor detection and when I went to ride it one one motor spinned even though it worked perfect on the bench.
I disassemble everything back again and one VESC did not turn on.
On a brightside I had a new VESC here laying around and installed it on the board, everything went smoothly but when I did motor detection, I heard a click, VESC disconnected and the led is not turning on at all, damn!
Would it be possible that I’m getting a short on the motor?, the phase wires are perfectly isolated.
If you can spin your motor by hand with no heavy resistance, the phase wires shouldn’t be shorting. I’d run it on the bench more, maybe grab the wheel to simulate some load.
Damn! I wish this is only a nightmare, pinching myself only left me a bruise.
I’m able to freely spin the motors by hand, no resistance whatsoever, I even was able to update the VESC firmware and set the motor maximum values as always, but as soon as I pressed detect, a clak sounded inside the VESC followed by a disconnection from BLDC tool and no led at all.
What would be the best way to repair both VESCs, how do I know what are the specs of the C9 in order yo buy it locally?
