Tenka ESC using an old bt module from a focbox

I have manage to connect ST Link. I did all the steps but it is still at 23.26 version. When I finish uploading the firmware, the Tenka stops right away? I have to unplug and plug the battery to turn on again the tenka? Thanks.

Just to be clear, this is the workflow you followed?

  • Tenka connected to nothing. No battery, no motor, no USB, nothing.
  • Plug in ST-Link’s 5 pins. 3.3v, SWDIO, SWCLK, RST and GND pins
  • Plug in ST-Link to the computer’s USB port
  • Connect using STLINK Utility. Should get a bunch of data when it connects.
  • Load the “VESC_default.bin” unity firmware/bootloader file from Vedder’s github into the STLINK Utility
  • Click “Target → Program & Verify” on the STLINK Utility
  • Click Start. It should take a few seconds to upload. After it finishes wait 30 seconds then disconnect the STLINK from the Tenka which should power it off.
  • Plug in the battery, hook up to USB and it should be the latest firmware (5.2 as of this post) in the VESC tool.
