This ainât rocket science.
Red goes to (+) and black goes to (-)
The polarity of the wires from the caps to the VESC is OK. The battery wires to the caps look inverted.
Donât hook up the caps and connect the lipo straight to the VESC. As long as you donât run a load, you donât need the caps.
If you donât get a LED to light up, itâs fried and youâll have other things to worry about than the caps.
Just hooked it up my power supply. It lit blue - which is quite nice, as that is the most alive this thing has ever been. So, hook up new caps and get this running?
Btw, can I hook it up to the PC to check with BLDC without caps and power (only power from USB)
Caps usually bulge when fried. More uncommon but possible is that the caps fried and shorted with no visible evidence. If thats the case removing the caps would also remove the short.
