I am trying to set up my VESC to my motor. i can connect to my VESC to BLDC tool just fine, but when i do motor detection it fails. It does not even spin up. I have tried adjusting the “current” and the “ERPM” settings, but nothing. Can i have wired the motor wrong?
Check your low voltage cutoff. Some vendors send them with presets for 10s li-ion instead of the default 8v setting. If your battery is lower voltage than you will need to reset the cutoff before running detection.
