Not Matrix II related - FW4 bug causes wobbles

Yes, and if you like you can also join in. It is a complex matter though. Today we did shine some light deep into all corners and some solutions appear to make sense in the beginning but then turn out to be an illusion.
Vedder doesn’t want to create an illusion where people think “this is safer or better or more trustable, stable etc.” while in reality it is not.

We came to the conclusion that the most important thing is building up the best test bed that we can envision today and intensify testing.

There will probably be a daily build branch for those who want to test the bleeding edge code, while the regular branch will focus on best possible reliability.

Would love to. @Deodand and I are already chatting on a few items so perhaps all of us should get on the same page. I believe you have my contact info, thanks for the offer!

It’s weird but my bootloader works but not for downgrading.

Right now I’ve updated from FW4.0 to FW4.2 without problems.
Forward ever, backward never…

For only @Trampa hardware? Or for a variety of different platforms folks are using this on?

This may be why a community effort makes more sense than a vendor-led effort.

Did you try to load 3.62 via SWD after you got the 4.2 installed successfully?
I did load FW 4.2 to get the latest wand FW and than went back to 3.62 without problems.

Visibility into this test process to determine reliability would be nice

I didn’t try to downgrade because the FW4.2 (test version) runs better than 4.0.

But maybe it’s a problem with usb of the master vesc because I had some disconnections (maybe time out) and couldn’t connect several times to Vesc-Tool.
