Had my first Vesc failure today. Dont know what caused it. I was just doing bench testing at the time. It would program fine but refused to spin the motor. Did a fault scan on it and it came up with the dreaded DRV8302 fault code. Probably the most common fault that occurs with Vescs and not an easy fix. It means the DVR8302 chip needs to be replaced which requires serious SMD assembly skills to do.
I am tossing up if I buy the tools to able to replace the chip and Youtube the how too or I just pay someone to do it. I am thinking the latter. There is a guy in Canada that replaces the chip for $30 plus postage so I will shoot him an email i think.
I have a spare VescX so I am still mobile. I am also waiting on delivery on a Maytech Vesc from Ebay. They have sold hundreds and at $100 USD with free postage, probably the best deal around at the moment.
