After you see lights and the lights are steady, click the Connect button again.Īt the bottom right you will see a message with a green background defining the connection status and firmware level.
After a minute or so, the VESC will reboot with the new firmware loaded. Click the Connect button then click the Update Firmware button, now wait. I will include instructions on updating VESC 6 variants if there is sufficient interest, but for now, this is for 4. If you see a mistake, please let me know and I will evaluate the requested change and commit it if needed.
If we can assume you have no pre-existing hardware issues and the install has been done correctly this WILL work, you will be riding in minutes. I have been running this firmware for almost 2 years and have used this method dozens, likely hundreds, of times.
