I prefer to have a display to be honest, I can check wattage pulled, exact battery voltage, range travelled, top speed, average speed etc etc.
Not to mention the setup aspect, safe voltage cutoff.. max amps/speed etc all controlled from a neat little screen.
To be fair, I only paid 40 for the controller, display and throttle so for the money I have in it I might as well just buy a new one and keep this for any other spare parts that can potentially be pilfered from it or an eventual repair etc.
At least I know that was likely the cause so hopefully...
Sorry for the late reply, I've been flat out on work.
Unable to provide data at the moment but after a second review with a calmer head I'm pretty sure I have a short on neg green phase and pos yellow phase.
I suspect I may have found the reason I have blown FETs/gates....
I opened the case...
To be honest that's probably the best bet for what they cost... my major concern was what made it die to begin with tbh and will it happen again.
Thanks for your input none the less
Yea I've managed to isolate the error 8 (throttle) to bad connection... however the error 9 seems to be permanent. Checked all wires/ connections etc.
With the new discovery of motor resistance when yellow phase is plugged in it leads me to think it is one of the mosfets, now if I can just...
Upon further investigation it would appear that I have a short on yellow phase and that the wheel was in fact cogging, not sure how I missed that yesterday... unplug yellow phase, wheel turns freely. Plugged in it cogs motor. Blue and green are fine.
So I assume it's one of the mosfets...
Hi Folks, new member here...
Recently finished building an E-Drift trike but on 3rd good ride out I've thrown some error codes and just wanted some advice. Already done some research but I've not got any of the common symptoms others are mentioning.
Worth noting that I'm a relative novice...
