i build an 72v 50a e scooter the 1st controller worked, fine until i wantet to plug in a new display and didnt check the wiring it sadly broke. so i bought a new one this one works but gets realy hot. i did use self learning so the hall wires can calibrate, but it still gets hot. do i have to check every possible connectrion to the motor or is it just bustet? i checked for blowen mosfets there are none the motor spins great and does not seem like the usual rought rotation which would normaly come if the phase is incorrect

the motor is currently wired too the same color

Links to each of the parts may help us help you as often there is useful information on the seller pages. If no link is available, good clear pictures of the labelling of all the parts may help us find that info some other way.

Which specific controller is it using now?

Which one did it use before?

Which motor does it use?

Exactly how is the new controller wired to the scooter?

i did add the controller and motor the controller was the same that i already used but they did some refresh on it before the mosfets were clampt now it is screwed in

Since we still need the other info to help, I'll repeat the request:

so i linked the motor so you can push that link and find out what motor that is the same with the controller
the controller i am using now is the same as the old so i dont understand what you want me to do there
and i wrote that i wired it with the same color
what did i miss ?

Thank you for adding the information.

This diagram from the controller link shows the wiring.

The front one doesn't appear to support a display at all. The rear one has a connector for one, presumably only for the one that comes with them (displays are not generally intercompatible between controllers, and are specific to just that controller, with some exceptions).

Do you have the front controller, or the rear?

Have you wired a display into the new one? If so, how is it wired in?

Does "wired it with the same color" mean that you wired the new controller in by matching the wire colors of the old one? If so, then as long as all those wires go to the same spots inside, and the new controller uses the same firmware and functions for each pad on the board inside, it should then be wired correctly. If any of htose are different, it could be wired incorrectly.


When the self learn was run, did it do anything differently on the new controller than the old?


Most of the time the symptoms you have mean a wrong phase/hall combination, but the self-learn, if it worked correctly, would fix that.

When the display was wired into the old one, how exactly was it connected, and what was the display?

If any of the display wires had battery power on them, and any of the signals from it also did, if they were connected to non-battery voltage signals that could feed back to the 5v supply, it could have damaged the hall sensors in the motor so that the new controller can't properly read them, and you might end up with a problem like what you see.



Note that usually people post the info as a reply in a new post in the thread, or tell us they edited a previous post with the info. Since you just put it in there without telling us specifically that it was edited into that previous post, I didn't look at your old posts for new info. It's very very common for people to ignore the information requests and I have to ask more than once for it, so I did. Also, as of your last reply, you've only noted that you "wired it with the same color" in this last post, not in any of the previous ones (I just checked to be sure). (and it doesn't tell us how it is wired to the rest of the scooter parts other than color)

Remember that we know nothing that you don't tell us about your setup, so everything you leave out is information we don't have that might help us help you with your problem. ;) You know a lot of things about what you've got and what you've done, but we know nothing about it, and can't see it at all. Only you can.

Yeah so I used the controller with the display connector. I also bought the same display from that website. And I wired the motor/ hallsensor cables colour's matching so green to green. Which is identical to the last controller cause I knew if I used self learning it would figure things out. The display is also wired colour's matching. and what I forgot to mension, I programmed the wheel diameter and magnet count into the display. If self learning is plugged in it changes directions like it should and the motor sound like it is running great not hot or anything even at longer 80kmh drives. Only the controller gets so hot it turns of. I am sure that's not important but the battery was build by me 20s 8p 2400mah per cell 80a bms incase that's important. I hope that's all I could be forgetting something incase I did just ask thanks for the help
 
If the motor doesn't get any warmer than it used to, it is less likely to be a phase/hall order issue.

If it isn't that, then the controller getting that hot means it probably has an actual problem / fault with it.

One common problem is the LVPS that converts battery voltage into 5v, 12v, etc. has the wrong input resistor, so too higih a current flows into it and makes it very very hot.

Another common problem is backwards capacitors, installed with the - stripe on the wrong side. That often causes them to swell up and leak, or even explode, but sometimes they just get really hot.

If it's getting hot inside but not on the outside, it could be the FETs are not correclty mounted to the heatsink bar, or that bar may not be correctly mounted to the case.

I would be guessing the lvps or the backwarts capacitors. Because the transistors look to be mounted fine an the thermal paste is everywhere and good. How can I check the lvps and the capacitors. And could a wrong display be the reason for that I remembered that for a short time I used another display too get around while waiting for the new and correct display
