unknown error in bottom left hand corner where it always says connected. In the beginning it stated it was connected,limited for fw update. After upload I try to connect and refresh the tool and it canāt find the device.
The device ādisconnectsā from the computer. I hear the computer make the sound of a device leaving my computer after upload. After restarting the vesc and rebooting my tool it reads 2.18 fw again. 
also after upload the green light goes away and itās just the blue light until I restart the vesc
Hmm your vesc might be one of the old ones that didnāt have a bootloader preinstalled
You could use Vesc-tool to install the 2.54 firmware and a bootloader
That tool in the files? Iām sorry I donāt quite know what tool you mean the ackamniac tool or another bldc tool? I deleted my other tools, but no biggie because had nothing saved haha. Can you help me with how to get the bootloader on my vesc?
now Iām super confused because on ackmaniacās tool it stated I already had a bootloader on my vesc and now on this tool itās telling me if I have a bootloader and try to download another bootloader it will ruin the vesc and I canāt upload fw anymore?
Try flashing 2.54 firmware first then with vesc-tool Bin file from ackmaniacs on vesc-tool
ok so I flashed the bootloader on it at first because remember the 2.54 firmware wouldnāt load before. It was successsful to update to the 2.54!!! But now Iām still having issues with motor detection 
so Iām getting closer, but not quite there yet haha
what do you mean bin?
That was the firmware file but since you already flashed it doesnāt matter lol
Still no motor movement or sound and no faults?

oh haha 
well now to get my motor detection done! What tool is better the ackmaniac or vesc website one?
You said it doesnāt work still, which were you using, you can only use one with each specific version
Ackmaniacās but still bad motor detection
Still no sound,movement or faults during/after detection?
Can you post a pic of the real-time tab and make sure to activate sampling
sure do you want me to press any of the arrow keys or just let the realtime data show by itself for certain amount of time?
