Hi!

I recently bought a used Lacroix Nazare which came with the Focbox Unity (this board is from pre Stormcore era). Every time I connect to any type of VESC tool, (official or third party) I get the same error message:

What should I do?

2

use the unity app instead if u don’t plan to upgrade the fw

if u want to upgrade the fw, grab a usb cable, stick it in and force flash the latest fw on vesctool

3

What fw would that be? Thought 23.46 was the newest

4

for unity’s own fw, yes.

for vecs, latest is fw6.x something i don’t remember, it is the one in the latest vesctool version anyway

5

I see, and I can flash that to the unity?

6

choose the unity fw when u select in the fw menu

7

I see, from the official VESC tool website?

Thanks for the help!

I will have to set it up completely from the beginning right?

10

after u successfully flash in the unity fw, yes, everything need to be setup like new.

also, battery current needs to be divided by 2 if u r used the old unity app, on vesctool, every setting is “per side”

Thanks for the info!

I can’t seem to find the download page for the firmware on the VESC project site. I might just be blind…

Sorry for reviving an old post, but i can’t seem to flash the tool’s fw. Even with the unity firmware selected, the only button I can click is the one to update the unity’s firmware, I can’t seem to copy the unity’s firmware into the VESC tool. Am I doing something wrong?
