Last week i was riding and sudenly my motor stoped answering correctly, it was acting exactly like once one of the 3 cables that go to the motor disconected, the motor did a 1 centimeter movement and stoped. each time i chose pressed the triger in the remote the motor would just do that.

At home i tried to check if i saw any cable making a bad contact and i couldn’t see any issue .

Now after testing the motor no longer moves or answers to anything. Anyone has an idea what the problem could be? Is it the vesc or the motor? It felt like either the vesc or the motor had a problem :frowning:

Is the VESC giving any sort of blinking lights? Have you connected it to BLDC Tool?

Hi @rpn314 ! Thanks for the answer, took my way longer to answer than i would have liked.

The board detects the signal from the remote. but a red light blinks and there is no movement. Here is a video of it. https://goo.gl/photos/Ngd2YR8TmkRzLVuG9 When i triger and it is connected to the BLDC i get fault code : DRV8302 which i couldn’t find to understand what it means.

Might it be the vesc?

Reflash your vesc and reset to default.

Depends on your hardware. What is your firmware version on vesc? Try to up reflash your firmware on vesc first. If it doesn’t work… then likely your vesc is fried.
