Hey just wanted to say Ive read pretty much the whole thread due to somehow finding this page when searching for DIY solutions to VESC issues. It was a fun journey to see everything you've done to build a really decent board!
Im riding a totally self built VESC board and I love it. Think ill upgrade to WTF rails soon and some decent sensors and footpads as im still using tiny spintend sensors and homemade footpads from plywood and griptape.
But I ride every day and I love it. Cheers for sharing your journey!
its a big learning curve.. lots to work out and its a real sense of achievement once you get things really dialed in theres nothing like building your own board from scratch!

@divouneh That's amazing 😊
Any ride in particular been your fave so far?

@lia awesome as usual...

@lemur did you buy the aluminum plate that mounts to the controller lid precut and ready to go or did.ypu have to DIY it to fit everything properly?

I had to scratch my original build idea and I am gonna have to go back to using my spare xr controller box so I am kind of curious. I know there are mounting plates that are sold for the thor300 and a few other escs but am curious as to where you got yours at since there aren't too many articles about using the thor300 inside the stock box

@charve You can use the Pint battery to test your Xr. I'm not familiar with th e torquebox setup, but you can put up to 27s1p 21700 cells in a stock (with slight mods) , I'm running 24s1p because I have an 100v charger from a dead EUC.IMG_9550[1].JPG

@fosterqc Omg yes that would be so cool. Would you keep the power side the same for authenticity or make it a sleeper build?

@blankman Dowgrading with stlink requires that you have extracted your bootloader and settings for the correct serial number, mileage.
If you use someone else's bootloader and settings then you need a special program to change the serial number, mileage.
After stlink, then you can Rewheel with encrpted file 5040, if you don't have the 5040 file then no point going any further.
What was your goal try to get into factory mode?

@lemur 24s1p sounds wild! Can't wait to see that ^-^

@vitahlity How old was the Pint ? What was the final sold price ?

@s-leon Happy Birthday 🥳🎉💜 Hope you're having a wonderful day and congrats on getting back on the leaderboards 🥰

@lia I was in contact with them by @ but since a few days it seems as if the contact has broken off, I will remind myself today ;) on their discord I also posted this topic, for now not too many hints https://discord.com/channels/731226901867266149/1064595548641964072. I handled it as gently as possible. The LEDs came to me not in a nice box like on the website, but rolled together in a protective film, the package was also missing a bag with thermo paste and a cloth. I don't know was it shipped like this, or was it repacked somewhere along the way. I do not have much possibility to resolder it.

@onedangts the offsets were locations within the official FM firmware. Problem is the firmware is encrypted, lol. Luckily, I found the right person who had the keys I needed and got it all to work! My factory GT bms is now reporting cell data to vesc. It's a beautiful day. Thank you for your efforts though!

@loaffette Ooooh my gosh that is toasty! I’m amazed it still powers on! Gimme a poke in DM’s if you want anything for it 😊

More than just laser-etched S/N on rails matching to controller S/N ... don't they look after all the stickers and embedded labels all over other parts to verify it's the actual complete board? Not the one built to be appearing as 'complete' but broken. Following out of curiosity ...

@LOAFFETTE Sorry for your experience! I know I'm bad at creating new topics instead of bumping the old ones. If the forum ever has one alike.

But on that particular case I thought the thrill about video ~3 years back adds some context to it. Because its "FM x TFL" discussion point. Interestingly enough Bodhy have swiched sides in meanwhile. Yet we still haven't seen Tech-Rails, Craft&Ride, Land-Surf and many other 3rd parties even slightly featured in FM's social media as TFL now has repeatedly been.
