The DRV chip on this Vesc seems to be misaligned a bit and it seems to cause the FAULT_CODE_DRV8302 and ABS OVER CURRENT error codes. Also, if my eyes aren’t playing tricks on me, it appears that some pins are bridged.
Would this internally damage the drv chip? Should I just replaced it or realign the pins? I’ve got the proper equipment(rework station, flux).
Before trying to realign it, I highly suggest to look under it to see if the Ground pad is correctly solder, because the soldering job look pretty weak.
Yeah I was thinking about that too. The pad looks to be making contact, might be a little higher than usual since the pins are not fully flat on the pcb trace.
