Hi guys.
I was stupid enough to update my FW to FOCBOX Unity when i have the VESC single motor controller 4.12 HW.
Now it's bricked.
Is there any way to rewrite to whole thing again when i can't connect to it?
Any way to erase it and reinstall maybe?
Thanks.
You should program it by st-link(x) programmer via swd interface. 2x7pin header is used for programming. From top left corner 5 pins should be enough for programming. (3V3, SWC, GND, SWD, RST) These pins is to be connected to ST-LINK (v2) programmer. You should have a full fw or a bootloader for Unity.

Thanks but I just want to make sure that this procedure is doable for VESC 2 or what some call VESCX for a single motor.
Do you guys have a good recomendation for a reliable ST- link?
Uv
Any clone from ebay. Do not connect 3.3v! CLK, IO, GND is enough. If you have a second vesc, you can also use the second vesc as a programmer. Vesc tool has a feature called SWD PROG.

Hello everyone. I need lot of help. First of all sorry ,English is not my born language and I am an amateur in terms of VESCs,etc. Some year ago I built myself a skate board with VESC 4,12( this was in 2018) using 2 X3S batteries total 6s. I also used a Turnigy 245v motor. Ran ok for a while. Than I built another battery bank with 40 x 18650 batteries( 10S total) it was perfect. After some time stopped i make it happens again, now with 2 x 6S batteries, total 12 S and 8 amps. I updated firmare using an updated VESC tool and set the parameters. The acceleration curve is not good and it has some failures, like some cuts. I was checking the Motor spec and it seems that cannot support 12S but maximum 10S. I am not sure about the Vesc hardware capacity. Can anyone help to understand and maybe make the right configuration for this combination??? Thank YOU
