I just updated my 4.12 VESC to the new firmware to use the new VESC-tool with it. It works great.

However, on the old firware, i had an arduino getting data over the UART port through RollingGecko's VescUartControl library. As soon as i updated the VESC and reconfigured everything, i was no longer able to get data over the UART port. Is anyone aware of any changes that may cause this in the newer firmware? Perhaps a change in how the VESC sends data or a change in commands on the newer firmware.

I just upgraded to new fw from 2.18. My HW version is 4.12.
There is my build: https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=86275

For the VESC 4 I found a short guide for modifying and compiling the firmware.  Is there, or are there plans for, an updated guide for VESC 6?

It would be interresting to see the Paypal logo before choosing version on the website.

I use a 4.12 derived custom hardware with customized 2.18 firmware. I also have a customized BLDC tool to take advantage of some features of my custom firmware.

I'm very impressed with the performance of the VESC and its derivatives, and I'm excited to hear about the new tech that is coming along.

I see from the commit logs and comments in this forum that 3.x firmware may work with 4.12 derived hardware. Is this a good time for me to test that?

What is the status of the HW6 testing and when are the HW6 plans expected to become available?
