Help setting up a segway in hub motor wheel

Hi All,

New to this game, so please don't assume I haven't made any obvious mistakes!

I'm trying to run a Ninebot segway wheel and the VESC 3.0 tool (mac) configuration step seems to work well with the motor performing smoothly when I press the forward/reverse buttons during the stage when you establish polarity during the wizard. My issue is after the wizard completes, and I try to run some "experiments" ... sweeping the duty cycle ... I get very jittery behavior from the wheel. Perhaps it's under powered? Perhaps the hall sensors aren't being used correctly? Perhaps the number of windings is configured wrong somewhere? I don't really know what I'm talking about ...

The config as detected from the wizard is: 

VESC ID: 125

Motor current: 26 A

Motor R: 88.70m ohms

Motor L: 366.89 micro Henry

Motor Flux Linkage: 172.79 mWb

Temp Comp: false

Sensors: Hall Sensors

 

A video showing the configuration by wizard along with the issue during "experiments" is referenced below.

Any pointers to solutions or places to look for solutions much appreciated!

Thanks,

tc.

The ninebot wheel shipped with hall effect cable using different crimp on pins from the connector I was using. This resulted in a poor connection for the hall effect sensors.

I replaced the crimp on pins and reassembled the connector and now the wheel works as expected.

I'm also facing the same problem. The VESC tool detects parameters completely and the motor spins normally, but after detection, I tried running the motor in all the following ways but I constantly receive ABS_OVER_CURRENT fault and the motor doesn't start spinning.
1- Arrow keys
2- ADC App (using the throttle)
3- Experiments Tab in VESC tool
Does anybody know what should I do to make motor runs? It doesn't matter for me which APP you recommend, I just want to make sure everything is ok and there is no problem with hardware or source code.
