As of this date (), the latest firmware version is 3.103, that is what it should report.Īt this point we are going to use the wizards to set the major data values, then go back and specifically update a couple of things.

I will include instructions on updating VESC 6 variants if there is sufficient interest, but for now, this is for 4.12 & 4.20 VESC variants. If you have a FocBox, Maytech 4.12 or FlipSky 4.12/4.20 ESC (VESC) you will want to use the Hardware Version 410 & 411 & 412. Let’s begin with the Firmware Update by clicking the Firmware link on the right/top of the ESC-Tool window.

If we can assume you have no pre-existing hardware issues and the install has been done correctly this WILL work, you will be riding in minutes.
I have been running this firmware for almost 2 years and have used this method dozens, likely hundreds, of times. With that being the case I figured I’d write a tutorial, or “How-To”, for the Ackmaniac ESC-Tool so you guys have options for a safe & reliable reverse and a wizard that give accurate values. It seems there are some issues with the newest VESC Tool (as of ) including the absence of an ERPM limit for direction change (reverse) and unusable values applied with the motor setup wizard.Īfter a recent discussion with Trampa, it appears that feature requests are equal to “ You are all very good at complaining instead of actually be thankful“.
