Classic :). You dont agree with Frank, your just wrong.
Then do it. Although, you said it wasn’t previously?
OK, whatever. Ignore 90% of the conversation so you can make a point that is irreverent. Good on you.
Profiles, set limited speed for reverse.
I don’t think that’s true. Ben has his VESC repo and it’s his call what goes in and what doesn’t. That’s OK.
Anyone else can create their own VESC repo fork with their own rules. All it takes is spending a few hours a day managing the pull requests. And rely on donations for funding.

This talk merged itself from the escape ESC topic to this one, you should make a topic dedicated to it or something like that because this is going completely off-topic?
You guys have been turning around circles arguing about the same stuff over and over again. Better keep this PM, or another topic, but you guys are ruining other people’s topics here.
Or rather, mike, trampa, and neo make a conference call and fix your problems there, you don’t need to make this whole fight public.
I don’t get how this open source project went so wrong, but others don’t have so much problems like this e.g Android.

ERPM switch based reverse. Meaning you ave to come to a full stop then hit the trigger again. This is what 95% of people on esk8’s want. Maybe your Trampa Team Riders don’t, but they are a very small percentage of the esk8 community.
Honestly, I can’t believe I am explaining it again, for the 12th time probably. In fact, don’t do it. I dont use VESC Tool, that’s one of the reasons. Other developers listen to users and are making products that do offer this feature. I’ll support them.

Great, you have an opinion. As far as I can tell the majority of these posts have to do with " GPL contribution discussion".

Apparently this is too much work.
People would rather spend their time telling Ben what to do with the vesc instead of designing their own or even making a fork and implementing all the stuff bad Frank will not let Ben implement

No one is telling Ben anything, they are telling Frank. How could you possibly have missed that or is this just a redirect?

What exactly are you implying here Mike?

I am stating that almost every post on this forum to do with the VESC, its derivatives, VESC Software or to Frank specifically have to do with Frank’s management of supposed trademark infringements or baseless copyright violations. Very few have to do with Ben or Ben’s ability. Specifically, the posts I have made in this thread are specific to Franks mismanagement of the project and mishandling of the truth.
Yet your reply was about Ben. No implication needed.
Current hyst reverse mode. Implemented in June via pull request.

Its a little fun, Trampa likes to talk about whats legal or not legal to all.
But then he sends this message to a competitor :
I think this is very close to illegal. Asking other manufacturers and competitors to raise the price so that you can keep a high price yourself is illegal and a start to a cartel formation. Sure you can see it as he just is asking for donations to Vedder, but I see an indirect message to raise the price so he can keep a high price himself.
But on the other hand, I have to admit that Frank has kept a good tone today in all discussions.

If you are telling Frank you are telling the wrong person.
It has been very clear that it is Ben who decides how and what gets implemented in the Vesc software not Frank.
So if you make a pull request it is decided by Ben whether and if yes it will be implemented.
You claimed that it is Frank that is not implementing features that people want.
So either you missed how the github works or implying that it is not Ben but Frank that ultimately decides what gets put in the Vesc.

We could just change the code ourselves to fit our needs guys. Fuck it. It’s happened before with Ubuntu and other linux flavors. It can happen here. Why not? Unity’s a good example.

Would you agree that Frank is the face of the vesc project and if so, acts in a capacity as a filter for user / community desires?
Additionally, all the line items that were requested by Frank/Trampa as stated by @trampa.
Hopefully that is what is happening on multiple fronts, I am done trying to influence and cajole and use logic to influence people that aren’t listening anyways.

If you tell me what is missing from the latest vesc_tool that you’re wanting, I can try my best to merge it into the latest for you. I have the week off.

Specifically the ERPM switch option that requires a full stop before direction change, full brake the release then reverse. Buy it’s not needed for me specifically, I use Acks ESC Tool.
It would be great if available in the unity though.
