App configuration bricks device

Open idoadse opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Following the previous request I have developed the functionality using a python script for FW 5.2 (Will share once finished).

When testing the app configuration, I randomly changed a lot of values in the app configuration to test weather I'm succeeding in restoring original configuration. Once uploading the config (via the vesc_tool3.0 interface) I have bricked the device.

  1. I have tested both mini USB port and the UART pins to connect to it - with no success. When successively pressing connect I sometimes get the FW version, just before it disconnects (on bottom bar in green) meaning that it is able to connect for a short period of time. I also hear the connect/disconnect of USB device in the computer almost every second. WhatsApp Video 2022-12-01 at 17 34 40

  2. I have tried to explictly configure the vesc using the following gist. I'm getting the following output:

error could not open port 'COM12': FileNotFoundError(2, 'The system cannot find the file specified.', None, 2)
error could not open port 'COM12': FileNotFoundError(2, 'The system cannot find the file specified.', None, 2)
425
success?
[]
ok

Meaning that it is able to connect for a short period of time

  1. Attached here the configuration that caused the issue.

I have already ordered mini ST-LINK/V2 for FW burning, but I'll be happy if you could help me understand what bricked the device (mostly for avoiding such issues in the future).

Thanks
