Why is it that thereās only 4.12 to 6.something out everywhere on the market?
Supposedly 5.x is the focbox stuff, but hw 3? 2? Is it lost somewhere on a forgotten forum forever? Does anyone still use such an old hardware version?
My guess is maybe not due to the software in the app not allowing for as much or no customization of your focboxās. Mine where so old that I had to update the firmware before it would let me do anything else.
5 was skipped and I donāt think 0, 1, 2, or 3 were publicly released
started on 4.5

So thereās realistically 2 big general versions that set the standard and thatās it? (Ignoring 75/300 and specific designs)
Also, assuming one uses 4.x hardware and doesnāt run into any bottleneck type of limitations, would there be any reason to upgrade to 6.x?

Can i use the temperature pin in the hall sensor to measure the battery temperature? My motors donāt have temperature sensors
What sensor part number do i need for that?
Does the other end connect to 3.3/5v or gnd?

I donāt see why you couldnātā¦ here is the post I followed from @mishrasubhransu he added a thermistor on his hanger, I opened the motor can and used a smaller 10k thermistor to my statorā¦ Iāve since disconnected them due to all the faulty temp. sensor throttlingā¦
good luck

Mine would connect, but if I didnāt calibrate it with the up down thing somtiemes itād be insanely mis calibrated and fly off or slam breaks with the slightest movement.

Yes, version 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.20 are all two-shunt designs
Versions 6.0+ are all three-shunt designs

I donāt seem to find in that thread and donāt really want to read 1300 comments; between which pins does the thermistor go? Temp (white) + ?
Thanks for confirming my theory by the way
just clicky the link I provided.
it takes you to exactly the correct post

Nevermind. It was right thereā¦ sorry
If you were looking to run a motor in FOC mode with battery amps maxing at ~45A, would you go for a new Maytech v6 vesc (MTSVESC) or an OG Focbox?
Oh, you mean like this?

can someone please suggest which side (ridged edge or smooth curved one) faces the center of the board? i donāt know what is the proper way to mount these wheels- google searching says āgraphics out, inside side towards the truckā, but that isnāt helpfulā¦ help plz
Flat, ground side faces in.

Even if I noticed that the ridged/flat-side faced in pulls the wheel pulley further back into the wheel? Would having the flat edge face out instead be much worse? Like with the flat edge towards the truck, the wheel sticks out past the wheel pulley rim.
hmmm. a pic would help, but the pulleys I have on those exact wheels sit perfectly flush on those flats.
How big is the pulley? How many teeth?
