There is huge development work going on… A big release is on the horizon.

[Athrx]

What was the bug? The wobble at max duty cycle? Sorry if this has been asked a million times already

[b264]

Why not allow the bug fixes into the current release then?

[rusins]

Ikr, unless these big changes are refactoring the code containing that bug, I see no reason to delay such an important fix. Instead we will get some bugs fixed, some new features, and some new bugs. Never a stable release

[BigBen]

Sounds exciting.
But like others. I am confused that there is a dangerous bug in the most up to date release that is not signalled on startup. To alleviate the potentially dangerous issue, people will have to be aware from trawling through forum posts and manually altering a default setting?

[Venom121212]

For a default setting to be causing all these issues, you’d think a quick patch to change the duty cycle current limit start default to 85% would be prioritized.

@trampa Any idea if the motor temp reading issue will be resolved in this update?

[Bavioze]

@Arzamenable i expect atleast 8 6380 motors on there

It turned out so good my sister went to Boise St nice build

[JPNW]

Thanks! I’m pretty happy with it overall- @Skyart made me that 12s8p battery with p2a4 cells… Suuuuch a fat board, but hopefully it equates to some good range.

That’s cool about your sis- Go Boise State!

Yes, and all they need to do is accept the patch as it’s already written for them. Isn’t that the benefit of open source?

[Venom121212]

Sure should be. I feel like there is a lot of “waiting for the next big iteration” updating going on for publicity rather than releasing a minor update for safety.

[b264]

Before fixing bugs in the current version. It’s like a growing pile of bugs with “Keep Out” signs for the exterminators.

[Minimadness]

I dont understand why we don’t just fork our own version.

[b264]

If you want a fixed Linux version you can always PM me.

It’s talked about some here:

VESC FW 5.0 - Beta Testers wanted

Hi, Recently, Benjamin Vedder did an awesome move by creating a Development branch of the VESC FW and VESC Tool repos. This allows to propose new features for testers before releasing it as “safe”. For coders, it allows to see the process as any little changes are published. Followers may understand the ongoing work. All details are here : https://vesc-project.com/node/1640 Please, update only if you know what you’re doing. Firmwares in Beta stage may contain bugs. Test it while keep…

But it seems to have fallen off in communications quite a bit.

[Minimadness]

I meant a forum.eks8.news version, or freesk8 for all I care.
This amount of time between updates whilst shit is broken is ridiculous.

Honestly though, best mounts I’ve held.
