Help with Focbox firmware / bootloader upgrade [VESC TOOL]

Hey guys,

So I installed new motors on my build and when I hooked up my vesc's to vesc tools, I received the error that my firmware was old and I needed to update. (FW3.26) ( HW410)

On my master vesc, everything worked out fine it is now running 3.29. My slave foc seems to show signs of a missing bootloader. I go to update the firmware it shows complete, the vesc shuts off but does not restart.

I know the vesc tools offers the bootloader option when doesnt seem to do anything. I am currently stuck in an endless cycle of "old firmware" on this 1 focbox.

Can someone help guide me in the right direction? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Or does anyone know where I can download the 3.26 BIN for Hw410 and the version of tools that is compatible.

-Chris

Well, probably your ESC had a bootloader and now you messed it up through the bootloader update. There was a warning popping up.

You will need an ST-Link V2 to fix this.
