Years ago I build an electric mountain board, with the old Turnigy 6364 190kv from hobby king, I went for the FSesc 6.6 Dual (The first version), used it to the point that I had to replace tires because they wore off and punctured the inner tube
Fast toward almost 2 years, and today I decided to get it going again for the summer. (Yes I know 2 years is way to much, but between moving houses and even countries I couldnāt enjoy the board as much as I would have liked). Downloaded the new Vesc Tool (3.00) and got a message saying firmware too old you need to update your vesc. I was like āok, lets just update itā. I am now stuck of firmware 3.53. No matter what I do I am stuck on that firmware, most likely because I tried to go from 3.53 to 5.2.
I think I bricked my dual 6.6. Is there a way to revive it? I have tried to search around and found a couple of topics about ābricked 6.6ā but the information is all over the place and I have tried a couple of things but still no luck and I donāt want to make it worse.
Both escās connect, both with blue and green lights on. I even tried with the can switch on, connecting the SWDIO pin and the SWCLK pin from one esc to the other to see if I could get anything under SWD Prog in the Vesc Tool.
Any help would be much appreciated.
The back story problem was fixed or so I thought. Decided to buy a Focbox Unity and new motors just to start from scratch. Installed the Focbox and the motors updated the firmware on the focbox and this is the result:
Motors spin during detection and everything but once configured they wonāt spin. Another thing worth mention is I have tried FW: 5.2 and it does the same exact thing.
Any help would be much appreciated, been fiddling with this since 9AM in the morning. Losing hope that this board will ever work again.
Sorry @Sandels it does not matter at this point (I think) I have tried both ways and passes the detection with or without the sensors plugged in but then does not spin. Ideally I would like to have it with sensors.
Iāve been trying to help him out through one of my nexusboards support channels as those motors are from me - as far as I can tell, foc_openloop doesnāt actually work. The input works normally, the PWM values are applied because on a new boot up of the vesc tool, itāll read like 1.756v or something as the max value.
After detection, where you can click the FWD/REVERSE and check invert, I think that runs foc_openloop to spin up the motors, and that doesnāt work. They spin during detection, but not after. Iāve kinda run out of thoughts as to what it can be, and suggested downgrading the firmware.
Have you tested keyboard input at all? My troubleshooting suggestion would be to just use one motor connected to the left output of the unity, run motor detection with just that and then try keyboard input. If that works itās likely a remote problem (potentially inside the unity?)
