Part 3: Flashing the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC)

This section covers flashing the ESC to allow it to function like a retail unit. This is the most important step, as when you get a scooter from a rental company, the ESC is locked down to prevent usage. Flashing a dash and BMS wont get you anywhere without this.

4. Solder the ST-Link leads to the corresponding pads. These are actually through hole solder pads, so if you know what you are doing you can solder the leads straight through for more durability. I did this and potted it in hot glue to make it more durable as I left the leads connected for possible future use.

The ESC has now been flashed to fuction as a stock Ninebot Max. Do not plug anything in before verifying proper wiring of the scooter in the next part of this guide. Doing so may fry the dash or cause other problems as some of these scooters (All Lyfts, maybe other brands) come wired differently from the factory.
Hi,

I'm half way through this conversion but I'm having some problems with flashing the ESC. My board does not feature the three ST-Link pins in the centre but rather has many board connectors all around.
I imagine one of these connectors is the ST-Link but can anyone confirm or point me in the right direction before I start depotting the entire board.
Thanks

The link to the Max ST-Link Dash BLE555 Autoprogrammer has changed, it now provides 2 other links to download, which only 1 of them works. And it doesn't have the connect_dashboard.bat file.

Does anyone know if it's any of these other .bat files, or has the old toolkit they can upload and share?

There is no readme in this toolkit.

Here's a screenshot of what files are contained in the folder


I also posted this on the scooterhacking forum, but want to try my luck here as well.

hey this tutorial may have once been good, now it's a bunch of shitty half working information I'd be ashamed to have my name associated with it. Man spend 1 hour fixing all the sh*t that is wrong in it. I mean we can't even use st link cause there are no hex files anywhere anymore. Why did you guys change them if you did then say what program to use them with you damn losers. Second rate minds at work here folks. One guy even posted like 8 things curentlt wrong/neededing undating. Following this guide to the letter will brick your scooter if it is not exaqctly like drunk santa's model, yet he doesn't state this, just goes on speaking in absolutes. Fix it or delete it. what trash.
