I updated the wiring diagram to reflect this, thanks for finding that.

For the mac users, @fessyfoo has added macOS support for the latest release

BillGordon · January 21, 2021, 5:40am

Thanks!

@b264, could you enable “Issues” tab on your repo ?
I can’t run the macOS version and would like to report the log file.

b264 · January 21, 2021, 11:00am

Done

b264 · January 22, 2021, 3:54am

I agree with this, and have been testing this for a while now. Does anyone object?

edit: this is added

fessyfoo · January 23, 2021, 12:00am

apologies for this. was a major goof on my part. ( only worked for me. ) release is fixed now.

My Cheap Focer 2 0.9 isn’t automatically recognised by the tool for updating the firmware. Any idea why this is? I was able to update using the firmware from your github repo to F5.02 in the custom firmware tab. I’m using Mac OS X, but that probably doesn’t make a difference

b264 · January 25, 2021, 11:51am

Which firmware did you use?

After updating it with the custom firmware tab, it should be automatically recognized going forward for upgrades.

Charclo · January 25, 2021, 11:55am

VESC_default.bin from the Cheap FOCer 2 09 folder.

This is what I’m seeing now

Does it matter which sensor port we use? I know you said which one but can that be changed? I was hoping to buy a unity with a broken sensor port for cheap

b264 · February 11, 2021, 11:11pm

I edited the post above

You have to go to custom file.
Then click the download key to the right of the FW status bar once you select the FOCer firmware from your files.
I just did it with my FOCer. Downloaded it from the GitHub page and flashed it to the esc… vualá

jack.luis · February 12, 2021, 3:23am

Is it possible?

b264 · February 12, 2021, 4:02am

It’s certainly possible but it’d probably take so much current and future work that it’s way cheaper to buy another ESC with a working sensor port.

And anyway, who needs sensors? HFI is the shit.

fessyfoo · February 12, 2021, 4:35am

bzzzzzzzt.

b264 · February 12, 2021, 4:36am

disclaimer: some folks with mountainboards and bindings might want sensors

But a properly-tuned HFI is the shit, for real.

actually how does a well tuned HFI motor sound on startup from standstill?

b264 · February 12, 2021, 4:39am

Some of mine are really loud, like this one

(the shitty worn-out bearing clicking noise is not HFI)

But some are a lot more quiet, like the one I just tuned. I can take a video if you want

only do that when u have time, im bout to go to bed. but would be great to get some comparsion to know how much more i can quiet it down, even if only by a little bit
