vesc_tool 6 and vesc 4.12 -> motor setup of small outrunner not working

Thanks for you great work, guys!

Finding some "good old" hw 4.12 vescs in my junk box I was wondering, whether I can update and FOC-Setup them with vesc_tool 6.0x.

Setup: small outrunner with propeller, 3S (12.6V) Lipo, USB Connection. Vesc Tool 6.00 and 6.02 running on Kubuntu 22.04. After firmware update, the usual FOC Wizard procedure (works, including noise and Lambda test) leads to a result, where the Motor does not spin up. Cross-checked that with two vescs (4.12). Doing the same procedure with vesc tool 3.0 works like a charm. Looking at results of the R, L, Lambda measurement, they differ slightly.

So ... something changed.

Any clue?   Thanks in advance, Andreas
