@tech.shit

my issue is not being able to update to 5.3

@jaykup

@BrushlessHipster

That new binary they uploaded is not reading as version 5.03 in the new BLDC tool 3.01 either. I have flashed it successfully on a DV6 Pro using an ST-Link V2. I confirmed it is being successfully flashed by intentionally writing all zeros (temporarily bricking) and confirming sad boot, then flashing the new bin they uploaded. The VESC tool still reports it is 5.02

Someone else was saying that maybe the 5.3 firmware they uploaded to the DV6 Pro is only showing 5.2 so that’s why I’m curious. I can build it at 5.3 based on the code changes he figured out if that’s the case.

@ShutterShock

I will test mine tonight.

I was curious and loaded the MakerX DV6 Pro 5.3 binary they released to my VESC 6 just to see what the firmware version would read.

lol.

So apparently @tech.shit wasn’t totally failing at updating his firmware. It was “sticking” and he was just replacing 5.2 with 5.2. Good stuff.

I compiled 5.3 with the updated current limits and shunt resistances using @BrushlessHipster’s code changes.

WARNING: I can only confirm that the firmware was built correctly, that it will load properly and it accepts the 180A setting. I don’t have a DV6 Pro so I can’t test motor operation, and I don’t know if there were other changes made to their source. @BrushlessHipster did mention that these same changes worked for him.

(I set these 5 values to 500 to see if it would read the new max values in the firmware)
