I run motor detection on the vesc and the motor does the spinning and says setup success. But when I try to run the fwd/rev test to finish up the wizard, motor just shudders and won't spin. When I turn the motor by hand but there's resistance and I notice that the vesc lights up green from blue. I swapped out phase and hall wires and restarted the wizard, same situation. Spins up fine in motor detection but stuck after. I have googled and no one seems to have had my exact problem. Any help will be appreciated.
p.s. it's a 350w generic m365 type hub motor. It runs fine on the previous silver box generic controller. Also since it runs every time I restart the wizard and then just won't go after, I'm inclined to think it's something with the settings and not a hw fault.
