Need help setting up my board!

Got this right away in the Ackmania ESC tool.

Using the OG Focboxes
@Scepterr updated the vesc to the latest firmware, is this causing this issue or is there something else ?

Make sure the cable is actually plugged in, focbox have a tricky USB port, and make sure to choose the new port when connecting with the tool

How will I know when it’s fully in? Do I have to take off the top case ?

yeah make sure under “connection” you choose the right comm port

Maybe @Scepterr updated them to a firmware higher then your version of Vesc tool supports? Or try closing out of Vesc tool and going back in and trying again.

I’m setting it up on the ackmania tool, will this affect it

I also always use Ackmaniac. Exit the VESC tool program and then go back in and that works for me usually

checked the comm port? Maybe uninstall the port, close the tool, unplug the vesc, plug vesc in, open tool, choose comm port, try connecting.

Operating system?

Windows 10

if you click the arrow left to “Baud” do you have multiple comm ports?

if yes test each one by clicking on it and pressing connect

I had problems on windows 10 but that might have been because my USB drivers were not good. I just used a Mac and Kugs old MacBook Compile of Ackmaniac

Oh no only one…
