If the LED isn't on it means that your controller isn't receiving power. So it's probably your ignition wire that doesn't work, for some reason. I suggest you simply temporarily connect a wire directly from your battery positive to the controller ignition signal. The LED should then switch on...

Glad you managed to connect, that's great news! It's hard to answer without seeing all the configuration you've done in all the tabs, could you share some screenshots? Have you done the motor calibration yet?

Normally you go to "devices and printers" in the setting panels of windows, then you should be able to see which port com has been assigned. Are you sure you plugged the cable the right way? I never had an issue with this step, it always worked first try for me. Never used the bluetooth on...

Doing the exact same thing is on my to do list, hopefully someday! I will follow this thread with great interest. I suggest you get a more powerful Fardriver if you still can. This one won't be too weak, but it won't be as crazy as it could be

You don't need that much power if you have a good insulation and aren't in a hurry. I've built a small electric furnace that gets up to 850 Degree celsius in 25 minutes using only 1600W of power. I did a few aluminum castings with it and it worked great. Of course the volume is a lot smaller...

Very nice, it's looking great. Also it seems like its pretty quick already Anything planned for the brakes? They might need a bit of upgrade now :p

Ah yeah, I meant open of course. :p

I strongly recommend you to get the quick change tool post. This is what transformed my mini lathe from a barely usable tool to an actually, really useful one. It is a little bit expensive, but it makes a huge difference. Take a new tool, drop it in there, tighten the lever and you're good to...

This contradicts my experience, at least with the ANT BMS I actually never had one fail shorted, I had one who couldn't activate its mosfets anymore, but they remained closed (Edit: Opened, not closed). And the thing is able to detect that something is wrong with the mosfets, it will then beep...

The Sabvotons controllers have all these protections built in. I've done lots of rear wheel lock using the brakes on these controllers (no brake wire connected to the controller as well) and never had this issue. No idea what happened there, its likely that the controller malfunctionned but it...

Well, of course, this is how Youtube works and everyone knows it. Why would it be a bad example? It should be taken as cheap and easy proofs of concept, doable by a single guy for an affordable budget in a few weeks/months in order to learn the basics and gain experience. Anyone who built...

Great job mate, I really hope for you that it is gonna last. Don't get your hopes too high though, A friend of mine did something similar but eventually the motor died a couple of years later because the rust came back. I suggest you check at least once a year if possible, and avoid as much as...

Yes, indeed, long story behing that weird username, it was a crazy day haha. :p Yeah better not to wait for too long. Sorry I can't recommend a specific model as I'm not familiar with bicycle motors, but I suppose QS motor would be great. I'm using their motors for scooters and motorcycles and...

Maybe that's a dumb question but could'nt you just buy paint?

In this case the "extra complexity" ends up in a more reliable throttle. The reason is that you can hide the electonic part away from water/rain. It makes a big difference safety wise and makes it way more reliable. I had a regular throttle going full speed once during a storm because rain got...
