Mithilesh Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 So my legway needed repair as it wasn't starting So i ordered a new controller from aliexpress Connected it and was excited but no Legway is not starting I tried calibrating by shorting the two points It only beeps And then a never ending long beep I noticed one thing when connect the 3 phase wires with transparent green caps The motor doesnt rotate freely with or without battery When i remove that the rotor moves freely manually The beep never ends Also two days back sane connections legway had stabilized but didnt move when tilted and stopped again immediately and since then only beeps This is the video showing problem https://youtu.be/NG95tXu8BFc P.S This isn't the original legway motherboard.i dont even know the hall wires connections But one good electronics person told me the red and black are proper And i did try combinations for other 3 Pls help PLS SEE THE VIDEO AND HELP ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxime Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hello I did not understand the video. To calibrate by joining the 2 wires, the wheel must be vertical (lateral and longitudinal) and above ground, wheel not touching. On calibration, the wheel turns 3 rounds in a way, 3 rounds the other then beeps and it is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried that too The thing is whenever i press the on button.it only beeps.i tried vertical too.wheel doesnt spin.one problem i noticed is that When the wheel is connected ti the threephase wires(the wires with green caps) the motor brakes every quarter turns when freely rotated,while moves freely when disconnected Doesnt matter if the battery is connected or no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 A checklist I used when replacing my controller (you may already know most of this but just in case): Make sure the controller is securely mounted onto the case with screws, in the right orientation Make sure the casing is properly screwed together and secure Make sure all wires are connected to the controller When guessing the hall sensor cables, red and black should match, the remaining 3 just try until you find what works The 3 phase wires should match colours or keep trying these until you get a good result Short the calibration pin (on your controller I guess it is the black pin to the right of the row of white pin headers) You seem to have done all the above in your video so: Mount the EUC onto some blocks so the wheel can spin freely whilst the EUC sits upright and stable Turn it on (the wheel most be upright otherwise this wont work) if the wheel spins, leave it until the spinning stops, sometimes it can take 20-40 seconds Keep trying different hall/phase wire combinations (try phase wires first as they are most likely to make the wheel not work at all) It looks like you're using a heavy duty wire terminal block to join the hall sensor cables - I'm not 100% sure but this may cause an issue, the wires should be connected directly as they are very sensitive signals. Mine wasn't working because the cables where not touching fully & so it caused signal loss. If you have tried all this, the problem could lie in the motor (detached hall sensor in the motor) or just an incorrect controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for a very explanatory reply I will do all this and update :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
