Hello, i have a problem with my first skateboard build, I have a Vesc from ESK8.de (bought on the forum so it’s known good) and every time i try to do the motor detection test it twitches the motor and then gives me a failed detection test,
i’m running 2x 5000mh zippy 3 cells in series and am trying to drive an SK3 285kw turnigy motor, the only thing i’ve done is replaced the bullet connectors on the vesc otherwise all is standard.
my min charge cutoff i have had set at 0 and still the same, i’ve tried the amps up to 12 in the test to no avail also, I have tried another usb cable- same result,
is there anyway to test the motor to see if the problem lies there?
so it’s positive from the vesc through the anti spark going to an xt60 going to the battery pack with another leg going to a charging point
the negative is going direct to the xt60 for thr battery pack and then doubling back to the charge point.
should i make screen shots from the vesc tool? if so which ones,
many thanks for your speedy replies and help
Make sure the motor can spin freely and there is no resistance, and make sure the circlip isnt being held down by the mount.
Take screenshots of the first page when you open vesc tool, and the motor settings (motor detection page)
Thank you all ever so much for the help, after 10 hours of pulling my hair out i found the problem, when i soldered the new bullets to the vesc i managed to splash a bit of solder onto one of the mosfets causing a bridge, totally my bad, but thanks to another members post i new what i was looking at as soon as i eventually saw it, so thanks again and happy riding!, i will post some pics as soon as i get this board finished.
