Vx2 on a torque6 esc

Has anybody connected a VX2 to torqueboards ESC6? Is it just a plug and play with this connection? Don’t want to mess anything up.

Yes, no issues. Plug her in.

Vx2 uses uart so as long as you have the right cable it should be easy. Check the wire diagram for the vx2 and TB6 pin outs and go from there

I also have this BKB Bluetooth receiver, they told me it was compatible with it, but it doesn’t seem to plug in anywhere. Anybody try putting one these in a TB6?

it should also go in the UART port, but beware of the pinout for it. I would page @BuildKitBoards if you are not sure and don’t want to risk anything.

So what is the SWD port used for? Just out of curiosity lol.

That’s for flashing the bootloader into the vesc using stlink, the backup plan if u somehow messed up the firmware and stuff
(I hope I’m not wrong on this, someone correct me if I did made a mistake explaining)
