Motor has stopped moving

ESK8 Electronics

okay, so i was going for my 3rd ride, when my esk8 randomly started cutting out. after observing this i stopped riding and walked home. My batteries were very low, but i recharged them and they seem fine because everything turns on when i plug in. another culprit may be the motor, for i hadn’t fastened down the motor pulley enough and it scraped a bit on the outside. suspect 3 - by this time the motor had completely cut out. The vesc may be to blame. i realised as i turned on the Vesc, there was a red light that flashed three times, and as i pressed the controller no white light came on. when i turned the vesc off, a red light flashed once. Also, i tried doing “start detection” on the BLDC tool, and it came up with “Bad Detection Results recieved” .Thanks for reading, Is there a way to fix?

Thanks, xXKOTOXx

put the vesc on the pc and do the bldc …motor test

3

@Hummie did the “start detection” and it comes up with “bad detection”

4

then I bet your vesc is probably fine and the motor is not.

5

Seems not vesc problem, but either battery or motor. I think its battery issue. If you use lipo and drained them completely, although its charging will never last a minute to ride.

6

check your motor leads and make sure they are well insulated and not touching. look inside if you can and see.

7

@Hummie Thoughts? what do you think i should do.

8

are your batteries up to voltage ? maybe you can fail the test with low batteries.

its hard to tell if a motor is shorted. a multimeter is rarely accurate enough. you can get an inductance meter for like 12bucks and they’re really accurate.

9

what do you think the red flashing means

10

i think it’s in the bldc program. and then the terminal tab and literally type faults. I think

11

Well first things first:

Can you go to the Terminal tab after you got a failed detection and type faults there.

12

ill send a video

13

How @flatsp0t

14

Do a motor detection again, let it fail. then go to the Terminal tab, type faults in the text box and click send.

@flatsp0t know what it means?

17

Well, that is not that good. Seems like a fried DRV. This could be caused by either a short, or a setup/configuratin problem.

May i ask where you got the VESC from and When?

18

recently bought, diyelectricskateboards

19

Well, then it is not the Firmware bug i thought of, so i would try to examine the reason and check for shorts. if there are none, it is most likely a configuration issue.

Anyways, you need to get your Vesc repaired. Maybe ask @torqueboards if he is willing to help you wit this, if not and you are in the US/Can you can ask @JohnnyMeduse to repair it, he is the uncrowned king of dead(and ofc. repaired) DRVs.

@flatsp0t sorry - im a noob. what is a drv
