After a long hiatus with my nemesis, I have finally gotten back to work on it.
A year ago I was test riding it, literally 5 mins after finishing. In my haste to ride, I neglected to tighten the drop outs and the QS205 wheel went flying past me (literally, ripped all wires from controller and went flying past me)
I rebuilt the battery pack and it's all together. Yesterday I went to fire it up and with a slight twist of throttle I could feel the motor turn. Perfect, head outside and nothing. Not a click, grumble or any indication it was working.
84V battery (Samsung 25R), charged up to 83.6V and working great
15kW PowerVelocity Bluetooth controller. I got this a year ago. Swapped blue/green phase and hall wires at Vad's direction.
QS205 hub motor. Worked great last year until it went past me. Have not tried it until yesterday.
Here's what I have tested:
84V at controller lugs
Throttle tested fine probing red/black green/black
Controller is communicating with BT on my phone so it must be on as well as powering throttle
Tested phase wires to ground, nothing
Phase wires together=high resistance
I have not tested the hall sensors yet.
My basic question is can I somehow test the phase wires for some type of controller output? I have various Fluke DMMs and an Agilent scope (although I barely know how to turn it on).
It feels like the wheel should make some type of noise but wondering whether or not I damaged it last year. Testing whether or not controller is working correct would narrow down the problem.
