Hello! I'm new to the forum but have installed a couple of these Brainpower Motor Contollers before.
The one I'm currently having an issue with was purchased from:https://amzn.to/3bmTP2O. The 3-wires for the throttle control are the Black/Red/Blue wires that terminate in a black plug. However, when I've hooked it up, the wheel will only occasionally make a revolution. I disconnected the throttle and checked the voltage at these wires. Black is ground, Red is +4.8V, and the blue is a steady +5.0V.
This has me stumped. Shouldn't at least one of these wires (blue?) not read any voltage until a signal is provided to it from the throttle?
I've tried a second throttle as a test, and the wheel doesn't move at all.
Phase and hall wires have all been hooked up successfully with no errors, and the wheel will turn continuously when the green "learn" wire is connected.
