Nice! I guess the controller assumes assist is disabled if the display does not transmit the assist level? Somewhere someone jumpered some pins to get a headless motor (no display), I wonder if that could have helped diagnose the issue in this case... And the speedometer must not have been...

That's funny because disconnecting the speed sensor is usually one of the first troubleshooting steps suggested on here, but I was always skeptical since it never worked for me on the few issues I experienced so far. Thanks for sharing! I wonder if your problem can be fixed by replacing the...

Exactly how I feel about the black plastic assembly on the internal motor. I did reach out to one of the US-based suppliers and he informed me there isn't enough demand and that they would need to special order in lots of a thousand from the manufacturer. I imagine it would be similar with...

Yours is the first post I've seen here that included any multimeter measurements from the torque sensor. Thanks for that, would be interesting to compare to a working unit, though I suspect the actual "output" is too subtle to measure without hardcore tools. Complete shot in the dark, but I...

Try the alternate procedure I described in this post (at the end): https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=79788&p=1671199#p1671199

Just reporting an "unintended acceleration" event where the motor was stuck providing assist even with feet off the pedals and throttle fully closed. This is with 48v, 8-pin VLCD5, v20.1C.1, hybrid assist. I was just arriving at home and was turning into the side street driveway into my...

Just tried it and the values are absolutely, completely different. Another interesting observation is that during the first flash I had no problems with the STLink ($12 clone), but the second time, STVP gave me a "Cannot communicate with the device" error. Some forum posts suggest to cut down...

Quick question about the torque sensors ADC min and max settings in the configurator. Can I use the TE/TE1 readings from the VLCD5 hidden menu for my first time flashing so I don't need to do it twice?

This post inspired me to try replacing my hall sensors. Adding some additional photos and information for the future. My motor suddenly stopped working at the beginning of my commute back home one night. I was going a few miles per hour, almost at a standstill, behind a shuttle bus waiting to...

You may want to remove the torque sensor and give it a good cleaning. Mine had the same zero readings as yours on a brand new motor which I fixed by simply replacing the whole part. But now that I'm thinking of it, my torque sensor coils were smothered in gear grease. In everyone else's...

Yes, mine did. FYI ecocycles is back online now.

To close the loop on this, I did not figure out how to test the torque sensor, but I replaced it anyway. And happy to report that now my pedal assist works again! The TE no longer shows as zero, instead around 65. Unlike some other posts where the faulty part was cracked or wires were...

Ah I found his original post where he says with the replaced controller and torque sensor his readings were 110/140. Well it might help me if he remembers checking the readings for the original controller and/or torque sensor too.

Great news! That's encouraging! May I ask when you say the "torque sensor not detected" and "torque sensor also did not work" what were the numeric values shown on the display? Zero, like in my case?
