Since each build of the VESC Tool is compatible with only a few particular versions of the VESC Firmware, every now and then we find ourselves searching around for a place to download a precompiled executable of one of the older versions. When faced with this situation you either have to find it by googling, ask around on the forum, or download the source code and compile it yourself. All of these take time and can turn a simple task into a real pain. To remedy this, we have decided to crowdsource an archive of the old VESC Tool versions.
UPDATE: **The latest VESC tool is now backwards compatible with firmware versions as old as 3.55. It will automatically load only the options compatible with that firmware. It’s not perfect though, which is where this list comes in handy.
If you have a version of the VESC Tool that is not listed here and is not the latest version, please edit this post and add it to the list below.
Make sure to read Mr. Vedders README and comply with the guidelines listed there. Official, VESC branded binary (executable) releases may not be distributed on any other website than the VESC Project’s Website.
If you are looking for the latest VESC Tool build, it can be found there.
As always, if you make use of the VESC Tool or VESC Firmware created by Benjamin Vedder, please consider donating to further development by following the instuctions on the VESC Project’s Donation Page
