Tried to program my vescs this evening and all my versions of vesc tool automatically shut off after like 10 seconds also cant seem to get on the website…what’s up?
Anyone having issues?

Yeah, it’s down for everyone.
Maybe Benjamin’s power went out or something.

Just wondering why the site being down would effect the vesc tools that I have downloaded? Or is that a separate issue lol

Oh that is a good point. My vesc-tool keeps crashing randomly.

I can also confirm that my AV warns me the vesc-tool reaches out via the internet.

I think that’s just the new version check. But:
Is that service actually hosted on the same server vesc-project.com is?
And is that really hosted on BVs personal server?
Seems like a major single point of failure if that’s what’s happening.

@Trampa could you please confirm if a personally hosted server is a single point of failure for vesc-project.com & the app?
Follow up question: would you guys like some help fixing this?

Does this mean that the VESC tool has to contact a server and that it cannot be operated offline? For example, if I am at a remote site with my laptop and no internet connection. Would i be left high and dry?

I guess I just assumed that was not the case at all, which is why I didn’t think the site being down was connected.
You know, because that just doesn’t make sense.
I don’t know what to believe anymore.

I‘m pretty sure I did use the vesc tool before offline. Not the lates version for sure, but the old ones should work.
Edit: just opened 2.02 offline and it doesn’t crash for me, as min not by clicking through the menu. Do not have a vesc here to connect thou…

And where does one find old versions of the VESC Tool short of recompiling from historical commits in the source?

VESC Tool 2.02 / Linux doesn’t seem to be crashing.

Yeah and it’s loading on Android for me here.
Still odd we have multiple users reporting crashing + site being down though. I’ll dig in a bit in the morning because I’m curious if there’s correlation
