I updated my firmware, per side, then redid the motor detection. When both sides are done, I try to program input. Then it says, old firmware. I did it with both sides, and one side update.
How do I best update, then motor detect? One side at a time? Both? Reboot computer? Shut down vesc tool? The program is lame.
The story has a happy ending. I STILL cant run input as it insists it is old firmware. But, after fighting with the damn thing till I explode, I hit the trigger, and voila. But, it is running in reverse. So, I rerun motor and reverse. All good. I turn it off, and back on. No joy, reverse again. So, I fight with it and finally, both motors run the right way, and I have a remote.
I can only think that the remote was the thing that lost uart signal. As when it ran properly, I fired up the old remote and nothing. MAYBE.
That vesc tool is as buggy as any software I have EVER fought with. I even sought out an older version. No luck there either.
On the plus side, I know almost all there is to know about vesc tool.
Gosh, I just love happy endings. 
Have you tried turning all your electronics off and becoming a Monk e?
I think you could give me a hand my vesc tool won’t pick up the other side of my vesc and I can’t get my VX to remote to pair
Plug into both sides of usb. Run tool on both. VX does not require a pairing, I still havent. I cant even get into the input wizard.
Does it rotate both when running motor wizard?
I only have one USB port on my VSC the other side broke off so I can only do it via the canvas and it’s not working for me so I ripped it out of the fucking skateboard and I’m returning it
Is there any other way to get this to work to get the other side of my vesc to work
