B-G431B-ESC1 kit not working well

[sgordon777]

I've purchased a B-G431B-ESC1 kit and loaded it up with software (Details below)and soldered Phase, Power, and PWM/+5/Gnd wires.

A couple problems and questions:

 

-On most of my motors, there is no motion produced just some clicks, even though I've matched up motor parameters I think (Is there a way to find motor parameters?). 

 

-On one gimbel motor with higher phase resistance(17ohm), I'm able to get it spinning, but it only spins for a second or 2 then stops, rather than keep going and have speed constantly adjusted.

 

-I am sending a ~490Hz PWM signal with period between, 800us and 2000us (if I don't do this, the controller just sits ther and beeps

 

-Is there a program availabe which just does standard 6-step commuctation without FOC?

 

-Can I run the MotorPilot app without the 490Hz WPM?

Hello sgordon777,

For every motor not available on the database, you must run the MotorProfiler tool, you can follow its startup guide on our wiki. Don't forget to save your motor configuration at the end of the profiling it order to create a new project using your motors.

Via Workbench, you can create a 6-STEP project by clicking on : New Project -> General Info tab -> 6-Step

Ok, figured out how to run the profiling, and the 6-step, I have some followup but I'll make a new psot. Thanks
