Motor temperature, how to set limit >120 C ?

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:

ADC Voltage Mapping wizard broken

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

More detail in tool tips

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?

Old versions of VESC Tool

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.

Cannot get any PPM signals from Arduino. Or is it just the VESC tool?

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.
