So, I’m currently working on a build, and am using the newest vesc tool to set up my esc. when i originally plugged it in, it said that i would need to update it in the firmware tab for it to not run in limited mode. i then uploaded the new firmware, and restarted and reconnected it.
It currently says that it has the exact firmware that i started with, and ive tried multiple times to no avail. when i plug the cable into the usb port on the other side of the esc, it says it has the newest firmware, but one side seems to not be able to update.
Although these instructions are for the Unity, they should also work with your vesc. Just make sure to read over the post and make sure before you do anything.
