Keep this in the other topic dude, vesc has been a community OS project for years, lots of people have put lots of time and testing in to vedders OS baby, so passion runs deep and to some it is personal.
This topic is for @stewii to share his development of his HW 6.4 esc
and the following topic is to discuss such questions as you possed…
ha shit … with the arrows of the keyboard or with the telco … because for the arrow of the keyboard there is indeed an icon on the right on VESC tools to activate or not the arrows…
and what does IMO mean …
In my oppinion
Moving the motor by keys or remote
Probably a spike of power comes thru the usb port somehow and can do damage
Just plug it out and then do tests
It’s like common practice when you work with MCU, and it has separate power supply, so you only use data lines and ground or if it relates high voltage even simple USB isolation chip to complete isolate your computer from device. I have experienced several burnt motherboard because of it even apple ones
So much overreacting about this.
There isnt overvoltage on the 5V rail.
PC motherboards should handle over current on the USB, just like if you short it.
Latest ESCapes come without R0.
No way you can get 48V over D+/D- .
