Guys Ive just received two Maytech Vesc, I ordered it from Alien power systems. How Do i connect the Canbus? the cable I was sent doesn’t look like the right one??
One end goes into the Vesc but the other end doesn’t seem to plug into anywhere on the second Vesc.
Am I missing something??

It should go into the same plug on the opposing VESC, but it only needs 2 wires. Not sure why your lead has 5.

Man, I have this Vesc and I think it is for a Uart port or a extension for a Sensored motor
Is that the only person who has the Canbus plug?
Diyelectricskateboard has them
FYI: I was just looking for a Canbus cable. DIYelectric’s shipping was like $10 and Ollin’s shipping was $3 (cables were roughly the same price.
you can just use 2 wires and solder them to the board.
