Starting rotation by changing duty cicle- current increases shortly (ms) and dcreases immediately to 0A

Hello together, 

I am new in this forum. I started using the VESC because I´ve designed an own 3D-printed Motor. 

I have following problem and really hope you can help me. 

After I made the motor setup (which worked very well) I want to start motor rotation by changing the duty cycle (buttom left). When I push the play-button the current goes for just a few ms to nearly 0,05A and then immediately decreases to 0A. It can´t be a short cicuit (don´t know if this is the correct word ;) ) because otherwise a correct setup would not be possible....

Do you have any ideas and can help me solving this problem?

 

Thanks a lot for every idea!

 

Regards, Simon

You can activate the keyboard controlls (right hand side manu bar, above game controller). Then use left right or up down. One applies the values entered in the lower menu bar, the other applies the values specified during motor detection.

Hey Frank,

Thanks for your answer! But unfortunately it doesn't matter which way I want to start it. The current does not increase....

Do you have any other idea?

Greetings!

If you can't spin the motor, it might be detected incorrectly. What are the detection results?

While making the setup, it spins normally
