The VESC will not connect, even after waiting 10+ minutes.It did erase and upload and then said "FW Upload Done" and error message: "Serial port error: The I/O operation has been aborted because of a thread exit or an application request.".Upon connection it told me that my firmware is too old, so I selected from the HW tab the 4.10&4.11&4.12 item, in the firmware tab is said "VESC_default.bin" and I uploaded that. I downloaded the VESC tool free windows.For a more solid procedure, please see my exact steps below: For a video of the problem that I made for someone else, see this link. The board wouldn't reconnect after the upload, wouldn't update firmware, and I would have to restart the process. I understand that if I installed a new boot loader, it messes everything up in the VESC, but idk if this is the problem or not. I went to either (I can remember) the firmware tab or the boot loader tab, and installed the 4.12 software. I have updated the firmware once before and remember it was pretty simple, so I figured it wouldn't be an issue. I plugged my board into the VESC tool 1.16 and tried messing around with installing new firmware without watching any tutorials (first mistake I know). At first I started inspecting all the hardware and electrical connections and nothing seemed wrong so I figured it was the hardware. I was not able to ride it and it couldn't provide the power to push the board forward. I noticed one day after turning on my board and hitting the acceleration on my controller, the motor starter wigging out, moving back and forth rapidly with no control. Torque Boards 2.4 ghz nano remote controller and receiver ( ).Traditional LiPo batteries (2x 3S 5000 Mah in series, ).Torque Motor 6335190kv (bought from same place).Torque VESC v4.12, with v2.18 firmware (Bought from DIY Electric, ).First, let me get into the hardware I have in my setup: I would be extremely appreciative if anyone could help me with my issue that I describe below. I have been experiencing problems with my electric long board lately and am desperate to get it up and running for the summer! I have done a little research about VESCs and have a background in mechanical engineering, but don't know too much about software and firmware.
