It did make that folder. Deleted it. Going to pop open the board and see if it makes a difference!
So what are the IDs set to? setting 1 as CAN FWD address doesn’t work unless the other side is 1.
if you can’t change the id on the one you’re attached to via USB something else is wrong.
This is the message you get when there’s nothing at that address. so wrong CAN ID for second vesc or CAN not connected.
What IDs does can_scan find on the can bus? any? is it different than the one you’re connected to? ( in “app settings -> general -> vesc id”
Yes exactly. The slave vescs default ID is 75 when I can forward to 75 nothing happens. When I try to change it’s ID to 1 and hit apply nothing changes. If I can forward to 1 before or after trying to change the ID to 1 it can’t find anything. It acts like it finds ID 75 and is can forwarding but nothing happens on the second motor when I throttle. First one spins just fine. These features all work perfectly on ack firmware so it is not the USB it is the software plain and simple.

The ID of the vesc is 44 for master and 75 for slave. I cannot change them in the vesc tool no matter what I try. I have tried every combination of can status settings I can and nothing changes. Also when I plug in any vesc single or not and I go to 5he input tool it does not give me the menu where I can select between " my settup has a single motor" or " my settup has dual motors and I am seting up the master " or " my settup has dual motors and I’m setting up the slave " ackmaniac gives me them just fine.
I have tried over 10 firmwares/versions of vesc tool to the same result as far back as 1.0 the problem is the vesc tool not working with my computer. The most common consensus is that it is a compiler issue that happened when they compiled the program for distributioncthat for some reason breaks with whatever specific variables my PC introduces. But ackmaniac motor tool works flawlessly Everytime. But I cannot use my Uart remote on ackmaniac. I’m almost certain that as soon as I have access to another computer to try it on it’ll just work like it’s supposed to

Tried flashing you bootloaders moving fw can corrupt them. Do you have a swd flasher.
That sucks, and sounds weird.
Weird. That seems unlikely. and more like a misinterpretation of the “Can bus” tab related error message.
sorry you’re having such trouble.
On the small chance this helps here’s a video of what it looks like in vesc_tool 2.06 when things are working nice. and the myriad of things you can click related to can bus fwd.

Did you end up fixing the problem you had with your esc?
Thanks
