Wiring of M365 motor to ESx controller
Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2021 10:41 am
I'm doing a thing.
The final goal is to make an all-pneumatic RWD ES/365 hybrid with a front drum brake and an independent battery fully external to the stem.
I've progressed since that picture and it's now all built up, but I can't get the motor to work. I've wired it with the same colours on the phase cables and hall sensor wires, and it won't go. If I spin it up and then hit the throttle, it'll slow down quickly while briefly making that warbling coil-whine-ish sound that the M365 motor always makes. If I brake, it seems to stop as it should.
I've tried switching the phase wires around and after several attempts I got somewhere - but nowhere useful, as all I managed to make it do is spin up with enthusiasm when I brake, which as you can imagine made me go WTF with some emphasis. But hey, at least I didn't fry the FETs while reinforcing the traces, which is a good thing to know.
I figure the hall sensor wires need switching around as well, as obviously the M365 and ESx don't follow the same colour scheme. However, there are six possible combinations of throttle wires and six of hall sensors, and if I'm going to try them all together I'll waste a whole day soldering and cursing.
I trust someone here has tried this unholy mating before, so do you know how I need to rewire the phases and hall wires to get this thing to spin when I accelerate - and hopefully not when I brake?
Thanks.
