    Hello noorbeast thank u for replying. I'm using a arduino uno and a ibt-2 i'm using a 12volt powersupply for a pc (i chose 12v 16amp). I did isolate ground from motor aswell and checked every connection. I have now changed all connections to motor 1 on the arduino. Also using a 10k multi turn pot. And with settings in utility i came up till the point where u suppossed to up the pmax untill motor moves i'lll post picture later don't have acces to it now

    If you are using IBT-2 did you change the SMC3 code to Mode 2 in the code like this:

    Hi, maybe run motor without arduino. I've had a case when after ungrounding the motor I've accidently put some tin on rotor windingsm and after that my engine was short connected, and doesn't move at all. It was only producing much heat ;)
