Ignition wire?

[wojtek]

my controller came with 2 thin red wires- one of which is 0V, and another shows whatever V the main battery pack is connected [eg 50v for 12s lipo]

when i connect those 2 red thin wires together, CA lights up. But no response from motor on throttle movements...

I should also note that I took that measurement with a clamp-on probe, which is not the most accurate instrument in the world. When I get back home next week, I should probably replace the fuse in my inline ammeter and re-test it that way.

Turns out that my clamp-on probe is pretty accurate after all. I just re-tested the current draw when off using my Fluke 77 inline with the battery, and saw 5.6ma exactly. I should also note that I've installed the Cell_Man LiFe battery, so the system was floating at about 54v this time.

This is with an EB312 controller.
