I was refering to your red battery wire going over the bottom of your sensor connector. That has the potential to pierce the wire and have your battery voltage fry your mcu.
But i dont think this is the case now
Any ideas on what I should do? Im confident that the default settings should have protected the vesc, and there arent any shorts. I havent even put a load on the motor when it was connected to the vesc
Welcome to the club. Is this the new batch made in the USA?
I had one enertion VESC arrive broken, the other broke on the second day. You will get blamed for breaking it and you will get no service. Buy your vescās from Chaka and problem solved. I only buy chakas vescās now becuase quality is everything with the VESC, and if anything goes wrong, youāll actually get helped instead of blamed and no service.

Arenāt these VESCs higher quality? Seems like they are breaking as much as the ones made in China.
Well lets see those motor connections, you replaced the xt60 for some dean connectors, do you mind opening up your shrink?
I replaced them with deans
it is the new batch, The vescs have a 60 day limited manufacturing warrenty. So Iāll contact support
that is heat shrink with electrical tape and more heat shrink, my theory is maybe capacitors are shit or bldc tool bugs
We offer a VESC-PLATINUM with a 12 month no questions asked replacement warranty, did you buy that one?, its the same price as OllinVESCā¦ if so you get a new one sent to your door for any fault, If you didnāt & took the cheaper option you get less service.
there wasnt that option when I bought it, but do you have any ideas? I am curious as to the reason is the chip has a fault code. Could I do anything on the bldc tool to double check?
itās available as a separate purchase, if you buy it now ill send you a new VESC.

otherwise return the VESC to the manufacturer and they can investigate it, but not guarantee we can get it fixed.
Seems kinda easy to fake a fault code and pretend to have a broken esc and get two vesc for $160
Thank you for the offer, can I email enertion support, and ask them any questions? Will that do anything?
why do you insist on making uninformed broad sweeping statements like this?
we just shipped 1000 vesc in the last 4 weeksā¦ how many have you seen being reported as faulty?
Why do people get different capacitors? some get 63v and some get 50v (myself included)
Iām sure you need to send the broken one in anyways
I hope so.
Your assumption is people are using them immediately. The reality is, a lot of people get them and they sit on desks for a few months. Look at hummies hubs. Heās shipped to dozens of people over the last 8 months or so, and in the last month since you made that video, your finally seeing people use them. I bought two vescās from you, and I didnāt use them for 3 or 4 months until I could figure out a) how to use them and b) what I was going to use them with. Itās too early to know right now of the quality. I know chakas are of high quality, theyāve been out in the field for quite some time. These vescās are new, and barely tested. I would expect due to the manufacturing changes that they are better, but itās like, why go to an untested source when thereās a tried and tested one?
