Hey, I went directly from 2.54 to 3.100. I was waiting on your 3.xx FW to come out since I trust your work.
Could be just me; not sure if anyone else experienced this.
Well @Jinra said that he kept the same values when using 3.100 by @Ackmaniac and it worked the same as 2.x but did report weaker brakes in the official 3.2x firmware.
I’ve so far tried my new build with 2.18 BLDC and this weekend I’ll update to 3.100 and switch to FOC (on focboxes). Hope the braking behaviour doesn’t change as I’m pretty happy with the brake force (I only run -8A battery min and -36A motor min / vesc but i find my brakes are good).

Did you maybe accidentally change the brake throtte-curve or might have a wrong min pulsewidth value for your ppm remote? Brakes and acceleration should behave more or less the same as in 2.54.
Throttle curve was the same. Could be pulse-width; it’s probably the only value that was different. I re-detected through the wizard.
Acceleration definitely felt the same.
Not sure if I missed but does this tool have the option to not limit erpm with brakes. Set negative erpm for reverse but it jitters when it reaches the max.
Because it cuts Power completely when it goes above that erpm. Its better to limit it in the app settings. Or you can try the new Firmware which has only the Motor erpm limit and ramps that smoothly.
There is a UI scale option in the last section on the left (ACKMANIAC…)

thanks - however, even at the smallest value of 1,0 the letters in the left column are still clipped.
The rest is usable though so only a cosmetic issue 
Hey guys, nooby question,
Scratch that, decided to just go for it and upload the ‘VESC_Default.bin’ to get V3.100.
So… what’s the difference between 3.100 and 3.28?
Thanks,
Youssef
Right click on the program and go into compatability and launch it in low res. mode
Will this run on Macs?
Yes there’s an osx version in the folder. However it suffers from the same bug as his old tool where it crashes if the vesc reboots.
So does that kill the focbox?
no you just have to force close and reopen the app
Do you need to buy a separate bluetooth module to use the Android App?
Hello @ackmaniac I wonder if you will work on a firmware to be uploaded via the latest VESC tool, or if you would use the latest current mode firmware to develop a newer version on Watt Mode.
Do you think the latest Vedder firmware has some improvements over the one developed in this thread?
Don’t know what you mean exactly. The Ackmaniac ESC-Tool firmware files are based on the official firmware (3.29) with the changes i mentioned in the first post of this thread. Current control in this firmware works more or less the same as watt control in my previous firmware mod.
anyone else running into an issue on the Mac where the app hangs during FOC motor detection? Clicking on RL spins the motor a bit and buzzes it. Then I get the Mac Beachball pops up, and it hangs there until I force quit. Is this a known issue, @Ackmaniac?
