This is my first build. Enertion big boy motor TB VESC and 6S LIPO. Watched the vids on set up. Changed the parameters for my batteries, everything went well until I did a motor detection, nothing happened and got motor detection failed, no error code. Did a search on the forum to try to find some trouble shoot info. How do I figure out if it’s the motor or the VESC?
Am no expert, but am going to prepare you for when someone who does,to have your information already laid out, Post/say , what firmware of BLC TOOL? where you download it from. what are your blc settings (post them), picture of build (maybe faulty phase wire loose or there touching)
I would try a different battery, different motor if you have them. Like @Exiledd_Top said, post screen shots of the BLDC tab so we can what settings you are running.
Make sure to set your cutoff start/end settings since your using a 6S Lipo.
ok, thanks for any/all input. Please see complete information attached. This stuff is all brand new but almost 1 year old. I had issues creating enclosures and work got busy so it got set aside for awhile. I finally got enclosures done and just purchased cable so I could connect the VESC to my PC and configure. I am using XT60 anti-spark for both anti-spark key and to connect my wiring harness to VESC. Batteries (6S) charge and discharge no problem. Just get a flashing red LED when I connect to BLDC. I adjusted the battery cut off settings and the braking regen strength but nothing else. I want to figure out if the VESC is the problem or the motor. I would bet VESC before motor but need to confirm. Give me a list of things to try. I might send the VESC back to Dexter and ask him to check it for me and see if he gets the same result. I hope I did not waste 100 bucks on a bad VESC.
