i recently installed a vesc and had to flash the firmware on it. Now after configuring it within bldc, i recognized that the vesc shows a red led instead of the green one. What does this mean? The motor will spin when doing a motordetection in bldc but the board does not react to the remote control.
Connect your vesc to the BLDC Tool, go to Realtime Data, then click activate sampling. The last line on the left will tell you your fault code. if it’s DRV**** where * is a wildcard, then your screwed. Other wise, it will point you towards what setting need to be changed. Flashing the wrong firmware will fry the DRV, so I hope you used the right firmware and selected the default.bin file when you flashed it.
That’s true. I’m using the channel the remote was connected to when i opened the board for the first time. Changing the channel does not change anything. The pulsewith displayed in bldc still stays nearly constant at 55%. But shortly after i changed the channel the board somehow accelerated for a short time and then stopped again without touching the remote. I am not quite sure if the bluetooth receiver maybe broken.
I got the standard remote that came with the magneto board. It is one of those chinese cloneboards. It should be binded because a led indicates the battery status. That’s why i suppose that the transmitter should be okay.
This does affect the remote. When i change the channel the remotes led does not indicate the battery status of the board. So the remote must have been on the right channel.
