OP AMP Error Odrive


We get this motor error : OP AMP disabled randomly after calibrating and then the motors stop working. There is no documentation for it and no one on the ODrive discord channel was able to help us. Can someone please explain why this error occurs and how to fix it?

This has happened multiple times and we keep rebooting and calibrating and sometimes the error just goes away but it comes back later. When we don’t have this error the motors work absolutely well.

Hm seems like this is an old value, the real value for 0x800000000 seems to be CONTROLLER_INITIALIZING: {doc: Internal value used while the controller is not yet ready to generate PWM timings.}
Hopefully @Samuel can comment further.

The numerical error you see is 0x800000000 and should actually decode as MotorError.UNBALANCED_PHASES, see here.

We’ll get this error decoding fixed for the next odrivetool release.

Okay, Thank you. We’ll check the connections and will also try using thicker gauge wires.

Thicker gauge wires helped. Thank you again.
