Hi again!
Strange things happened with my controller, perhaps somebody can help me.
When I first flashed my controller everything worked flawlessly. No connection errors, motor starts, 28km/h, display works, etc. I done all the painting and minor tweaks like back and front light switches, on/off switch on battery cable, and special button to start scooter without need to plug charger in.
I was using the scooter for about 2 weeks. During that time I noticed that controller (or maybe green/black box?) was not 100% "reliable". For example:
- when I turned the scooter off sometimes the display showed blinking "00" and then scooter turned off after some time but most of the times display just stopped showing battery level and showed red "x" and stayed like that for couple of hours until scooter completely shut down
-sometimes when I switched the off button and then switch it back on i could immediately ride, but sometimes I had to push special button to simulate charger plugging
-once or twice motor just stopped working while riding and I had to switch the scooter off and on just to stop again after about a minute.
Anyway, it did not behave "logically" and that was a bit unnerving.
Then the main thing happened:
I wanted to be more visible and installed small led lights under the floor by making paralel connection to brake light wire so that both leds and back light can be turned on and off simultaneously. I went on a ride, but with lights turned off. After about a mile I lost the motor again. I restarted the scooter back and I noticed it has problem with speeding up, like it couldn't find power on lowest speed. It was fine after speeding past 10km/h, but only for approx. 1 minute and motor turned off again. When I walked and led the scooter there where strange ticking sounds coming from it. Then I turned it off and left it for couple of hours. When I turned it back on everything was fine. Then I left it turned on for the night and the next day it was showing red "x". Starting from that point I cannot make it work.
I checked all the wire connections, I flashed the controller again, I resetted It using "pin 7 trick". NOTHING. RED "X". I had second motor form another Lime and connected it to see if it is a motor, and not controller problem - same effect.
So my beginning was unproblematic and now I came back to the state that many people describe here as a starting state, when they flash everything succesfully but nothing happens and they still cannot ride. FRUSTRATING AS HELL.
Anyone has some thoughts/advices?
