FAULT_CODE_UNDER_VOLTAGE

Hello, connected my brushless 3500 velineon motor of the traxxas ultimate, to VESC tool 3.0. During motor detection, the wheels attempt to spin but can not turn, they only budge a bit.

battery: 3S, 5200 mAH 25C. The motor configuration am using can be found here. Thanks.

 

Below are the faults from the terminal, for the first and last entries. What could be the problem here.

for an 3s battery, vbat_min should not be less than 9V,

charge bat. to full and try again, but at least 4s min recomended, in fact.

in motor settings, general, adjust bat voltage cutoff settings

advanced , min. input voltage

maybe, it could also be tested with an 12v accu.

type of vesc?

Hello skyline, I am using a VESC6 based FSESC6.6. apparently it is using the 60FW, the one without a Mark. alright, I am going to try to set the minimum input battery cutoff voltage to 9v. I did not understand the 12v accu.

On a different note, I wish to recompile the firmware with the servo set as output, is the board i selected below the right one for the with FW:5.2, HW:60? the one without Mark version?

Thanks Skyline1970.

Hello, I do not see any such option in any settings. Even when i choose ppm as the app to use from the general tab. Even under the ppm settings and configurations there is no such option as: "Enable servo output on PPM-port when PPM-app is disabled." . Am using FW: 5.2, HW:60, VESC tool 3.0.
