VESC tool will detect one side of a dual ESC but not the other half, āCould not autoconnect. Make sure the USB cable is plugged in and that the VESC is poweredā
I literally updated the firmware on that side 30 minutes ago and the other side connects still after the same update, Iām so confusedā¦I didnāt do anything to it
How do I fix this?
If both are connected via CANBUS then make sure CANBUS cable is working fine
No difference with or without CANBUS, it says āno ports foundā when I manually connect
Hi, It looks like I donāt have permissions to make my own post yet, so Iāll ask here: My motors spin up during detection but then wonāt move. Here are the details: I have two Maytech VESCs (came with hardware 4.10 firmware 3.3 upgraded to 3.40) two Maytech Hubmotors with hall sensors, and a 10S Lion battery.
The specs are:
Motors: Size 90mm Voltage 24-36V Max Amps 22A Max. Output Watt 800W Resistance 0.557ā0.577
The motors are connected to the VESCs with a hall sensor adapter (and the three phase wires).
Battery:
Koowheel 5500 mAh battery Max Amps: 30A
I tried running the motor setup wizard with these settings:
Max Current: 20A Max Current Brake: -20A Battery Current Max: 25A Battery Current Max Regen: -10A
Voltage Limits: 34V / 31V (10S Lion)
First I tried FOC detection on one of the maytechs, and the motor would spin up, but then when I tried to use the arrow keys in arrow key mode after the setup the motors would cog but not move. The VESC would blink red 3 times when I hit the arrow key.
I tried BLDC mode next on the first maytech and it would spin up in detection but then also not move with the arrow keys. I then tried BLDC on the second maytech and it would move with the arrow keys. Iāve run the detection multiple times on both VESCs, and sometimes the cogging happens on both and sometimes just the first one. No red blinking lights other than the first time I tried FOC.
Here are the settings that the motor setup detected in BLDC mode:
I 5.00 A 150.0 ERPM D: 0.05
Detection Results: Integrator limit: 111.01 BEMF Coupling: 433.58 Detected hall sensor table: 255, 3, 1, 2, 5, 4, 6, 255
Iām wondering if Iām not sending enough current with the arrow keys, or if I burned out the first VESC with FOC mode?
In the bottom left corner my settings are: D 0.20, 5000 RPM, IB 3.00 A, I 3.00 A, P 0.00, HB 3.00 A.
What should I try changing?
Thanks,
Jordan
Did you write the motor configuration to the vescs after going through the wizzard?

Which thickness of thermal pad is preferred for @stewii `s ESCapes? 0,5mm, 1mm, or 2mm? And is this conformal coating stuff from ebay any good?

Yeah I think so
Try to connect separate.
W/o canbus? Already did
Is your vesc 2 singles or a dual like the unity. If it is a dual is there a switch that says can bus
2 ESCs on the same PCB with a CANBUS connector across them
DC5521 sockets have three pins: pin, jacket, and switched. The switched one is shorted to jacket, until you plug it in. Figure out which one is which using a multimeter (If you donāt have a multimeter, slap yourself and get one), and donāt use the switched one.

Hi guys. Can someone tell me which side of the Velcro strip is supposed to go on the deck and which side on the components?
I used the soft side on my deck, actually foam pad, but when I jump up and down on it or just bounce my board of the ground the battery falls off. Iām using 13 strips for a 10S5P. Itās rated for 15 lbs so I donāt know what Iām doing wrong.
are you using the industrial strength?

Interesting I put on what was rated for 10 lbs and it stayed without any issue. Is it pulling of from the neoprene like the 2 halfās stay together but come off together or the halfās separate.
You are using one soft (loop) side and one rough (hook) side touching each other right?

No, itās the Velcro bond thatās coming off
Yeah. I just tried reversing the strips for the vesc but thatās so light in comparison
