I just connected the slave esc ppm to the receiver instead of the master esc ppm and it worked

For further reference, the reason is, that you need to build the VESCtool for Linux yourself with the flag HAS_CANBUS enabled… It does not work on Windows since the implementation is utilizing SocketCAN, which is Linux-only. Contact me if you need VESCtool 6.05 for Linux with CAN… Just went through compiling it from scratch… Can’t upload it here, since I’m new.

Hey Tomblarom, Tried building with HAS_CANBUS but still ran into qt issues. could you please help me with the latest VESCtool with CAN?

I can’t really guide you, because there is no generic way. Please seek help in the discord-community. When compiling VESC-packages it’s also necessary to compile VESC-tool yourself, based on the lastest sources. Therefore they recently did some investigating. You need to use Qt 5.15.2. Here is a link that helped me a lot: Discord | #packages - Post from nan0
