This is my first ever build, and I can’t seem to get it to work… I’m using the free vesc project tool. After the battery is fully charged, I connect my vesc to my pc and do the motor set up wizard with the following parameters:
BLDC motor max: 80a motor min: -35a
battery max: 15a battery min: -12a
battery cutoff start: 31V battery cutoff end: 28V
here are the parts I’m working with:
DIY electric Vesc 4.12 with FW 3.4 HW 410 TB 6355/190kv motor samsung 6.0 Battery: https://www.ownboard.net/products/ownboard-electric-skateboard-battery?variant=6940852715562
when I click motor detection, the motor spins for like 1-2 seconds, then the vesc flashes red 3x. I get a failed motor detection result.
I went to vesc terminal and typed in “faults” and got this result. The following faults were registered since start:
