Having a hard time finding the switch repair instructions, can someone link them?
What mobile apps work well with the Xenith and FW23.46? Vesc tool mobile wantās to update the firmware to connect but I sure as shit donāt want to.
Desktop app works but has been flakey not applying new configs (only get read ability).
The official focbox unity app? android only.

Do you have a uart remote plugged in? Wasnāt there an issue with that? (not with bkb but rather the Fw i think)
Maybe that is the issue, just switched to a VX2 and disabled PPM in the app.
Try this: turn off the vesc, unplug the remote, turn on vesc, then try to apply settings again.
Heh, I can just see this:

Howād it go?
Someone pls help me fix ma VESC
Potter told me to put an XT90-s on it. I donāt think itās gonna help.

Took the mini out today with the VX2. Much more manageable power with this remote, so I might keep the settings. Iāll open it in a few days after riding some more. Lost a hub screw on the first ride because the China factory only threadlocked one side.
The problem happened right after I switched to the VX2. Couldnāt update settings. Iām pretty sure itās the culprit but I really donāt want to open this board every time I need to tone it down for someone else. I need speed profiles in a working Android app

It is sad that they told about that issue without specifying exactly what is wrong with the circuit. I will put my build probably this month and we will see how fast it will break.
They only mentioned that there is an issue with switch circuit. I will probably manage diagnose it and repair it but it is most likely blown LM5060 (I was wrong in my previous post).
You can replace it and Xenith should work again but it wonāt solve the issue it might break again. I cannot find any schematics for Unity so that will make things harder but whatās important is thinking outside the box.
I looked at that issue, to be more precise, at images posed with blown up LM5060 and we can see that something burned/shorted at Supply voltage input side. Without any checking first what comes to my mind is to put TVS diode to protect LM5060 from overload but this is just a wild guess.
I think that this issue occurred only for people with 12S batteries.
As I mentioned before we can think outside of the box. They already fixed the issue in V2. Can someone take a picture around that area (high quality) so we can se what changed ?

These quite literally do nothing. The switch has never failed when plugging the battery in (if it has, it is an insignificant amount).

yeah only thing I changed is I hooked up a UART device, also I would add that my unit shut off while riding. When I tried to power it on I found it could no longer. I even have it on video.
Really looking forward to getting a clue on what to do about this, I was able to repair some 1.7 focbox so I hope I can fix this one too.
