I’ll take pictures when I get home, I don’t have a power button on them, the dude just used plugging the vesc into the battery as a means of turning them on. He was still building the board when he got out of esk8, so they were never used and he just assumed they worked. I’ve tried at least 8 cables. I’ll check the device manager for what your saying.
And yes I did try metr on both sides.
He likely used a loopkey

Is this a normal thing to see when fixing motor directions? I can’t remember if I had to do this with my other motors or not since it has been so long since I had set those up with this VESC which is a focbox.
I did fix the whole motors spinning in opposite directions issue though so I don’t need help there
To have one inverted? Yes …
I meant more of the tool treating each motor as if it is on a different VESC. I have a dual vesc so that is weird to see
Yes, that is normal, at least on standards duals, where it’s basically two singles on one board. That may not be the case for single MCU ones, but I’ve never had any of those.

@ApproachCautiously exactly what Chris said…
Usually 2 sides that make the whole so you treat them as individual even though they communicate with each other.

I am pretty sure the Focbox (the one with the orange silicone sleeve) is a fully integrated dual VESC but I am probably wrong.
I wish I could remember if it looked like that the last time I set it up but I got it working how I liked it and then never fucked with it again
They’re on the same PCB so I thought they were together tbh. keyword being thought because I don’t do that much research for which VESCs I buy since most of the popular options work fine for me. 
I pretty much buy whatever I can second hand so long as the person has used it and it is known to be working.

My eyes don’t really see a hardware fault. How do the soldered connections look? Did you try the unitys from your bundle? The trampa vesc?

It all looks fine so that’s where I’m confused but I just put the focbox’s from the motherboard in it and they light up, now I just need to figure out how to connect vesctool or metr. sadly all of the unity’s and the trampa are truly broken.
Bruh, did you name it Bruhh? Two H signifies some P.O. frustration maybe?
Recently i had a v1 metr malfunction ruin some 5v railing but there were crispy wires at the harness that may have been at fault… yours look ok.
Can you verify consistent and correct voltage?

I once tried at least 6 different usb cables, all supposed to be data with the full amount of pins in the port and none worked. I bought a new one from Amazon and it worked.
Is firmware version an issue? Like using a new vesc app with like 6 year old firmware? Apparently you can get old vesc apps on android but not iOS or maybe connect through Bluetooth on pc. You can get an older vesc configurator version from MakerX here Download – MakerX
I feel bad your VESCs aren’t working when they should and mine are working when they have 4 different reasons not to.

I got it to connect to Vesc tool through usb, but the firmware is too old to do anything like motor config and what not, plus it seems to only detect one esc🤔
I’m 90% sure they are connected correctly over can…
Not fully sure how to download new firmware but it gives me this when I try to download.
@xsynatic @CarelessAquarist
something something bootloader says the guy who failed at vesc but wants to try again someday, with old vescs
