Motor sensor plug doesn't fit on VESC..*SOLVED*

Nope, I just got this one from him and the small plug is what comes attached.

Then you’ll have to take out the leads on the VESC plug and put Kaly’s in. However they may not fit in which cause just solder the VESC plug leads into the motor, the colors seem to match on the pic you have.

Ok great, That’s exactly what I am doing now. However, the color order in your photo for the vesc wiring does not match the color order on the plug that came extra with my motor that does for the vesc. So I need to rearrange the pins in my plug to make sure the plug into the correct pin in the connector on the vesc?

Yep just reorder to it match the colors. Like I said, red/black/white are critical to be in the right position, but the others dont matter as long as they’re going in the hall pins.

Problem solved. Thanks guys!

@Jinra I need a bit of help please,bout these motor for my vesc,the motor came with sensor connector but the are 5pin so I just ordered 6pin jst to used to connect but there will be one wire missing can you tell me how is it possible someone said leave the temp wire but I am new don’t know which one it is

If you read @Jinra’s post he says temp is the white wire. Now look at @flywithgrif’s pic which pin is the white wire connected to. That should be correct as long as the motor manufacturer used the right pattern

if you only face 5 pins it’s fairly simple. black is ground, red is 5v and the rest are hall sensors

In my case here black - red + and the orange would be temp so I would leave that one out

Hi everyone, I just recently purchased a vesc from mboards and a torque boards 6355 260 kv motor. I was able to make an adapter to connect the bullet connectors but I am unsure how to wire the jst connector to my vesc since it is too small. The connector on my motor is a 6 pin.

I was wondering if I need to by a different connector and solder it to the motor wires so that it fits with the VESC.

Get 2mm jst plugs and pins. Cut the wires, crimp new pins and plug it in. Ready to go. If your sensor cables to short than just solder some 2mm jst extension on and good

Are these the 2mm jst connectors you are talking about? https://www.amazon.com/2-Pin-JST-XH-Balance-Connector-Adapter/dp/B00R1J91JY

Or is it these 6 pin 2mm jst connectors.

If you don’t want to make anything you can get some of them

If no than you need that one you choose but with 6pins not with 2

Looks good

ahh I see thank you for your help. Is there any certain order I need to connect them in because the vesc didn’t have any sort of instruction

On the back side of your vesc there should be written which pin is what. Don’t mix + and - (red and black or better to say first and last pin) Sensor wires don’t mind which place they are

on the backside I see a 5v temp h1 h2 h3 and a gnd pin
