Hola, So i got 2 new and unused Flipsky 6.6 ESC’s, yesterday i soldered the bullet connectors on to them and hooked them up to my computer for programming. As usual i get the update message that always pops when connecting a ESC for the first time. So i updated the ESC with hardware version 60 and firmware VESC_default.bin selected. As normal i got the serial port error and then waited about 30 secs untill i rebooted the ESC, when i reconnect the ESC i still get the update message, so it doesn’t seem like the ESC wants to write the update. I get the same results on both of my Flipsky 6.6.
anyone experienced this issue before? pretty darn annoying…
Wasn’t there something like they don’t have a bootloader pre installed or something?
Not sure but have a search for it. I think you need first load the bootloader, than you can change the fw version.
hmm okay, in the messages on VESC tool it says that it has a boot loader atleast. i’ll search for that, seems a bit odd that a 190$ ESC doesnt have a boot loader
I gave up on the Flipsky’s. I couldn’t get mine to flash either (just like you they came with two different versions of the firmware) and then one of them died and took the remote receiver with it, so now the board is in pieces waiting for a Unity to arrive.
