VESC Tool

My VESC6 with a bog standard bike-hub-motor runs the "RL measurement" as "R=0, please measure it first". 

I don't understand where this comes from and I can't run the other detections. The resistance is not extremely low. The terminal "measure_res" command returns 136 mOhm. 

It would be nice if the VESC_TOOL would allow me to enter such a resistance and allow me to continue the detection process instead of blocking the detection completely.

Hi,

looking for VESC Tool 0.87.

Somebody know where to get it? My version is broken and I do not want to make a FW Update of my controllers with the new version.

Thanks for help.

The winding in my new motor is rated for 240 deg C, but VESC Tool limits the settings to 120 degC.  How to change the limits?

Also: I use 100k NTC (and 10k pull-up) to measure the motor winding temperature because because it gives much better resolution at high temperature (when compared to 10k NTC).   I changed the file hw_60.h  like this:

If someone has a version of VESC tool compatible with FW 3.34 (I think 0.89 though not sure) could they share it. I cannot update the FW as it is a custom one. 

Not to mention the confusing names of all these modes...The voltage mapping widget has the wrong display for several modes. 

Current Reverse ADC2 Brake Button - this displays as a centered input and grays out the CH2 input.

Current No Reverse Brake Center - This one isn't centered, so its maybe swapped with the one above.

Current No Reverse Brake Button - has the CH2 input enabled

Current No Reverse Brake ADC2 - CH2 is grayed out

Duty Cycle - Shows negative duty cycle

The tooltips are a useful hint at the moment for what each setting does. However they really don't help much when trying to use an undocumented feature. 

For example using ADC app, how are you supposed to know which input is for each button? 

Most of the settings just say something like:

DC ramp step max - Maximum duty cycle ramp step for DC and BLDC motors. 

which basically just states what the option is called.

I would be happy to elaborate somewhat on these descriptions if someone points me to which file I need to edit?

Is there somewhere I can get old versions of VESC Tool? Specifically SW v0.83? I've got a new HW build that's currently running FW v3.30 but I don't want to upgrade the FW and the current VESC Tool SW v0.94 is refusing to connect properly.

Is there a particular reason as to why the VESC Tool can't connect? This is really going to be an issue as more people take the VESC firmware and make custom PCBs because I can guarantee that the config in the default firmware will be wrong.

I'm experiencing problems after upgrading my firmware to 3.102 using the latest vesc tool version.

Originally I was on fw 2.18 without any problems with the old BLDC tool - tried to put the same setup in the new vesc tool but I get bad detection..

I am trying for days now to get my remote to throttle the motor. The remote is paired to an Arduino and that outputs the PPM signal. I know this part works because I connected  a servo instead of the VESC and that works flawless. But when I connect the VESC, nothing happens. There are no values that I can read from the app, and it also doesn´t start the motor. I connected GND and Signal from the VESC to GND and the PPM output pin from the Arduino. There are 10k Ohm resistors in both lines to avoid any current from going through.
