I got 5.03 tool running and I just can’t tune my ppm remote to work, it just makes a high pitched sound and one of the focbox blinks red when I try to throttle.

Did you run the input wizard?

More importantly DID HE FINALLY FLASH THE PROPER FIRMWARE?

Yeah, that was a hefty assumption on my end. Last I read, he had still flashed Makerx version on og focboxes

It lives on in my garage…
Still running all 12S like it’s 2018…

Couldn’t. It said “this firmware is too old” and it wouldn’t run motor config. It’s on 6.06 makerx firmware on 6.06 Vesc tool.

Other problem, my battery says this and It won’t charge, how can I reset settings correctly?
It’s a 12s8p p42a

I will lose my shit if you keep trying to run detection while on makerx firmware

I don’t want to be either :sob:
I don’t see an alternative

I got the og firmware downloaded on 6.06 but it didn’t work so now I’m trying 3.01 Vesc tool with the 5.3 version.

The older Vesc tool doesn’t seem to have the download firmware archive.

More infos

You don’t need to. Use the firmware that comes with the vesc tool from the normal firmware tab.

Firmware - included files - 410/411/412 - vesc_default

older screenshot from the Internet, it’s 3am, chill.
