Some news.
The Alienpower ESC and the TP5670 are still not returned to me (despite me asking several times), but Bruno promised that I'll get it this week. At first he told the ESC will be repaired, now it'll be a new one because the old one was too heavily modified by me (?) Not sure why that is, I didn't do anything beside cutting the heatsink a bit and applying Plasti-Dip. Well, getting a new one is nice, but now I'll have to redo all the soldering and cutting the heatsink :(
Since the weather was getting better and I wanted to drive, I put the Mamba and the 1717 in again. Runs reliably, as always. Springs/Oil seems a little on the hard side now with the lost weight compared to the TP5670, but it was driveable.
Also tried out the new black-spoke GRP slicks. They look really nice, but traction is not as good as with the treaded ones. Ran it for a few minutes with a lot of throttle, after that the rear tires were almost too hot to touch. Clearly a sign for not enough traction :) Somehow I have the feeling, they are a different rubber compound.
And the VESC finally arrived and was installed in the car. Started the software, ESC gets recognized by the software, nice. Then started the "motor detection" routine and nothing happened. Fault eventlog gives:
Fault : FAULT_CODE_DRV8302
Current : 1.9
Current filtered : 0.2
Voltage : 23.09
Duty : 0.01
RPM : 0.1
Tacho : 5
TIM PWM CNT : 3872
TIM Samp CNT : 3878
Comm step : 2
Temperature : 27.31
Looks like the FET driver chip is broken. Still unclear why that happened, I'll send the VESC and the 1717 to Benjamin so that he can have a look at it.
