This week we did a presentation on our progress and discussed the next steps from there. We received the parts that we ordered and we followed the simple wiring diagram to test if the motor controller would work. We ended up getting a green flash and then two red flashes on the LED and that was it. If the motor controller is operational then the green led would stay lit, but there was no light at all.
We tested various factors to see what was wrong with the motor controller because it should have some red flashing code but there were no codes at all. When we disconnected the hall sensors the led code for it flashed and when we took the throttle out the led code for that flashed. When everything was connected together, there were no flashing errors that would indicate what was wrong with it. In the manual, if the green is not lit then the problem may be due to no power or the switch was off. We knew that the switch was on so that was probably not the problem and it is likely the power. We checked all the wiring with the multi meter and we guessed that it might be the type of batteries that are used; however, Dr. Furman does not believe that it is the batteries and we also did more research and believe that this should work with the batteries.
The only problem we can think of now is that the motor controller is shorted or faulty. We went on e-bike motor forums and contacted Kellycontroller support to see what was wrong with our wiring. We uploaded pictures and we are waiting for replies. If there is no solution, then we may have to purchase a new motor controller.
