as much as 5.3 seems cool, our collective experiences with random faults, weird motor detection values, strange motor noises, and other smaller things make me seriously doubt the safety of 5.3, but this is the wrong place for this conversation.

Besides this, there are many other reasons to want to downgrade. One good one is for diagnosis.

I personally feel better with doing that sort of thing not on a phone/mobile device
Yeah I think there is actually a page for custom FW upload for those that want to dig in to this type of A-B testing.
It also would become a huge file download when you consider all the FW versions and hardware versions the amount of files really blows up. At that point you would probably need to serve them remotely. I think almost 30mB of the file is compressed FWs, amazing how many hardwares are supported.

Awesome!!!
Thank you! I boycotted Apple/ iPhones ever since they came out. Swore I wouldnāt get one. Well, like everything else that I swore I would never do (get married, kids,mind altering substances (( not any more)) , divorce, drive a minivan lol) Iām typing this with a freaking 12 pro.
I have a nRF51, kinda new to VESC, was carrying around my iPhone and android while riding. Couldnāt find a n app that like VESC tool for iOS. Now I can just carry around the iPhone.
Thanks again!

Congratulations Jeff! The iOS version will have a lot of grateful users being very thankful for your ongoing efforts. Itās really nice to see all the progress and how far VESC-Software has come in the last years.
Itās good to see you and Ben working together to push the project further and further in the direction of the first real Open Source software environment for electric drive systems.
When I look at the most recent work found in the Beta-Tool, it really amazes me. Silent HFI, sensor-less position control down to sub 1Ā° precision, scripting interface for QML and LISP codeā¦
One huge step after another is taken and in consequence the project gets more attention from interested and skilled developers feeding back valuable input. Itās really exiting to see things moving so fast forward into the right direction.
With the VESC-Tool 3.01 and FW 5.3 my board is running sweeter than ever and all the tricky motors always register spot on with only the time constant sometimes needing adjustment. Even the non salient Go-Kart motors now pull tons of torque from stand still without any stutter. AMAZING!

It does work. I just tested it.
The app looks nice. I like the multi-settings feature. Thatās neat.
Whatās the ācontrolsā menu for? It doesnāt seem to do anything.

Controls should let you spin the motor based on current/RPM/duty to test it out, much like you would on the vesc tool desktop with the keyboard/ the bottom left bar.
Right. Thatās what I thought but itās not working. Maybe itās only supported on VESC FW 5.3. Iām still at 5.2 and too chicken to upgrade. 
BTW, the BMS tab doesnāt seem to support the Ennoid BMS in the āDieBieMS modeā. Would be a nice feature update to get it working.
I believe this isnāt a new function. Itās been available for a while now
And firmware discrepancy shouldnāt be the fault if every feature is backwards compatible. Maybe a bug or we are missing something

If you have a ppm app or remote input constantly sending it will override the command sent by controls. Disabling the app should allow it to work.

Does the latest app finally have a way to start a foc_openloop command? I never got it to work because theres no way to send live packets. At least Iām not aware of it.
lmao idk why this is flagged but the self-praise is off the charts
Could you clarify?
Oh come on, heās praising the developers. I know Trampa is not particularly popular here but letās be fair.

Just got it, now Iām kinda upset I spent a day figuring out how to install Lineage OS on my 8 year old Nexus tablet.
Doesnāt seem to have the āfullā interface like you can have on android, but if all the settings and wizards are there Iām good.
Confirmed working with my NRF51 based BT module in my V1 Ubox VESC.
Maybe, imo it sounded a lot like ātrampa is so cool and always the bestā. 
Iāve tried with three iOS devices and canāt seem to get anything to show up in the VESC tool.
Two iPhone 12s and a new iPad
Focbox unity in a flux with a Davega
BKB xenith with Bluetooth in a DIY
Both show up in iOSās Bluetooth settings and say āconnectedā. Both show up in YoursTruly
Neither show up in VESC tool.
Any ideas?
Very weird, is the permissions dialog coming up?
Oh also you might need to not be connected in another app? I think after it connects it stops advertising so you need to connect from the VESC app.
