Maybe try using Esc tool instead?
How did you get it in Mac?
Please only use the latest VESC-Tool for the now. There has been an issue with the brake operation on over temperature (motor /ESC), which Benjamin just fixed on sunday. Only use the latest version VESC-Tool. If the fix has been implemented in project forks needs to be asked! MAC users should use the windows version on their MAC. Please use either Boot Camp, Parallels, VirtualBox, VMWare to get windows running.

We know you as an Open Source defender knight.
So you might want people to use Linux instead of Windows.

That would be the best option, sure. Is there a LINUX parallels desktop for MAC? I havenāt been using MAC stuff for agesā¦
Paralells desktop is only a sfotware that allows you to build virtual machine. You can have different VM in the software library.
No need to use virtualization when native macOS build works perfectly fine. Updated to latest v0.92 https://github.com/rpasichnyk/vesc_tool/releases

Wireless firmware upgrades FTW!
Only reason Iām still using Parallels+Ubuntu is because the Bluetooth support in your MacOS build seems a little untested. I can scan for my VESC (nrf51) and itāll seemingly find it as it grabs the name of the BTLE device (āVESC BLE UARTā), but the address displayed alongside the name is all zeros instead of the usual string of hex. Appreciate this may not be at the top of your priorities.
Log messages from when I try to connect.

Itād be nice to use a native MacOS version. Parallels doesnāt support the built in BTLE chip in Macs, so in order to use the VESC Tool I have to fire up the VM, and go hunting around for a tiny USB BTLE that does work within parallels.
Also note the debug messages state āVESCĀ® Tool 0.91 startedā whereas the official (Ubuntu) build states āVESCĀ® Tool 0.92 startedā. Not sure if this is an issue or notā¦ The application itself still seems to support FW 3.38.
Please use the 0.92 only! As stated earlier it is the one with all issues fixed.
