Focbox v1.3’s and 1.6’s in those boards all running FOC sensored.

Has anyone gotten ackmaniac to work with Unity? I’ve seen people mention that it works with the old school single focboxes, but I haven’t heard of it running on unity.

I doubt that is possible without a complete rebuild of the code. I wish it did though.

I had to repair a VESC 4.12 (replaced a couple of FETs and the DRV8302). But I then managed to flash the wrong firmware (firmware for the CFOC2). Now I’m unable to flash the correct firmware. If I simply open the tool, it shows me a list of hardware options and the associated firmware. But once I connect with my VESC 4.12, it thinks it’s a "Cheap FOCer 2), and the hardware and firmware options disappear.
I’m guessing I could still flash the correct firmware if I could find the .bin file and load it as a custom file. Can anyone tell me where I would find that file for the VESC 4.12 - or give me another workaround?
I also have an ST-Link, and another VESC 4.12 with the correct firmware on it. Can I somehow grab that firmware from the other VESC?
Thanks!

The good news: Turns out I was able to find and flash FW 5.10 for HW 4.12.
The bad news: It looks like I managed to burn out my new DRV8302 - hopefully from having attempted motor detection with the wrong firmware. New DRV8302’s are on the way.
I don’t care if it costs me $1000 and 1000 hrs to fix this $80 board. I intend to defeat it!

i am back here for another problem , why l can,t get the watt mode function enable with android app ? because anything else work very well.
in windows my tool the watt is set to max 15000,0 W

usually I leave it at max and only touch the amps, what is your goal?
watt max allow to have the same power all the way so you don’t feel the voltage dropping but l want to this feature to work on my phone so now l will try to lower the value on my pc app

In the Ackmaniac android app, are the motor/battery current readout values a combination of both sides? Or is it the value from the side the bluetooth module is plugged into? i.e. if the app is reading drawing 20 battery amps, am I really pulling 40? (20 both sides) or 10 each side?
Also I have a 12s4p 30q battery. I think my battery settings are off. The app is reporting 13.4 wh/mile. Most of the calculators I’ve seen estimate about 12-13 wh/km so I doubt my setup is that efficient. or again is that number per side? so it’s really like 26 wh/mile?

i know its a old tread like me 
but i just finish rebuild of my board today and I don’t remember if the bluetooth module (UART) goes on the slave or master for dual setup thanks
