I used to jump back to Ackmaniac when I had really bad issues just to get rolling.

Thanks, I will try it! Will report back whether it does / doesn’t work.

I can’t upload the older fw to it to get it working with 1.25, I don’t know why. The process seems to go normally, but when rebooted it’s still fw5.1, which is incompatible with vesc tool 1.25

Write the bootloader to the problem one.

Both stay at 5.1, so I should write the bootloader to both?

Okay, I uploaded the bootloader and the firmware, and it worked - I did setup the wrong input mode though :man_facepalming: I don’t know which one exactly, but when I pressed forward it made a loud and very strange noise, and braking worked. Ofc thats not what i wanted though. So after redoing the bootloader and firmware again, right now i am back at the starting point - now the input wizard says again that the firmwares on the vescs are not the same. Vesc tool is really annoying sometimes…

You’re in the much more capable hands of

Current no reverse with break did bring that strange sound back again when pressing forward. Idk how to describe it, this probably sounds stupid, but it sounds like a crying dog. I really hope I didn’t damage the hardware, this sound is definitely not normal.
