@onloop doing as described.
Hooked up my vesc that I finally received today and plugged up the USB connected the motor turned it on. Read configuration worked. Went to do motor detection the motor jerked then said detection failed and began to flash pink and blue. Checked for fault and received a DRV8302 fault. From what I see that means a chip is bad and has to be replaced?
Powered down checked all connections and all where connected.
Tried my desktop-no joy
Uninstalled and reinstalled- blinked a little different but then went back to the same thing.
Different cable, power supply, checked settings - no joy
Don’t have another motor or controller.
The only thing I can think of is that whole topic of using low voltage for the first boot-up as suggested by Chaka here:
I don’t think I’ve read of anyone that’s actually fried a non-Ollin VESC from not using low voltage though. Perhaps someone who has a better eye for those short-prone spots on the PCB might be able to point out an area that shorted when you tried to spin up the motor. This thread sounds similar:
I actually thought about and read that before and used my low volt to power up then connected my battery after. And as for popping on the xt60 connectors I have a 170 amp fuse I use to turn off all power so no worries there.
