Hey guys! So I have a problem with my electric skateboard that I can’t seem to figure out. The problem is pretty simple; the motor won’t run!
The problem started with a phase wire comming loose from the vesc joint (middle one), so i solderd it back on, and everything was all good. So i thook it for a spin, then when i jumped of a little sidewalk (15 cm max) the board stopped and would’nt run anymore. When i got back home i opened the enclosure and found the middle phase wire half on and half off, so i soldered it back on again but still no response from the motor!
There is no red light on the vesc, i’ve checked for fault codes, the green light lights up when i give throttle and checked the wire connections (not opened the motor yet thought) and the motor does not spin or give any sounds what so ever.
Any help would be much appriciated!
I am rocking a torqueboards 12s battery (old version), Enertion focboc (not dual) and a sk3 168kv motor. Havent posted a build tread yet
Yes, I did try to run a motor detection. I dont remember what it said (could try agian if it is relevant) , but it didnt work. Oh yeah i disconnected all of the, but only one needed soldering.
So I have now installed the NEW vesc tool and updated firmware. When It came to me running the motor calibration it failed (same as last time). I’ve not checked the phase wire connections directly on the motor yet, do you think it is worth checking?
Also is it alot of work?
I’m sorry Ive been at work, currently taking a break. Can you post a picture of the error you’re getting? Also I doubt it’s the motor, but you can still check the connections. Don’t open the motor! That’s a lot of work you don’t need to do. If you touch any two leads that come out of the motor, the motor will stiffen. So hold two of the three leads together and see if it stiffens. If it doesn’t, the motors bad, if it does then both of those leads have good connections. Then touch one of those two leads to the third lead and see if the motor gets stiff
