Help needed, posibly bricked VESCs

I have 2 trampa 6/75 vescs and they were working just fine until i tried to upload firmware, it uploaded fine but then the boards power shut off and when i press the power button it flashes but will not stay on. Neither vesc is discoverable though USB even when they have power. Thanks for your help.

Plug em back in. Hit auto connect, do firmware on each.

When there plugged in they dont show up in the app or the tool via usb.

How are trying to connect? What button on the screeeeen.

On the app its scanning and using a computer i hit auto connect

Well dang. That’s now outside of my pay grad e. Trade you a spintend for them?:grin:

You can use an stlink v2 ($10-15 on Amazon) and manually flash the firmware file from github.

It looks like the Trampa VESC 6/75 firmware was added after the 5.3 release, so download the beta VESC tool from the VESC project site and use this file with the stlink

Once you upload the firmware with the stlink and restart the ESCs, and you are able to connect with the VESC tool, make sure to flash the bootloader in the VESC tool as well.
