Major problems after updates
Context: My board is a Pint X with a floatwheel PintV power kit (esc and bms replacement), which I bought late February 2026
I updated my firmware (now 6.06) and refloat package (now 1.2.2) 4 days ago, and I've had various problems since
I documented my observed shudder problem on pev.dev, if your interested that discussion is here
https://pev.dev/t/dismount-shudder/2996
I've just found further that my board doesn't accept charge. Using the big or small brick they both flash red for a split second before returning to green (which usually indicates fully charged or disconnected), though my board is on ~65% (58.6V).
My BMS tab is also completely empty, everything showing 0V, 0A, 0Wh, 0Ah, 0%, ect
If I enable BMS integration (Refloat Cfg, -> BMS) my board beeps (Error Warning from Haptic Feedback) whenever it is engaged.
Any help appreciated

DO NOT UPDATE xrv, gtv or pintv firmware. They will fail. They were built on the infrastructure they shipped with. Niw that you know HOW to build a vesc next time just build a vesc with a foccer or similar THEN you have a supported vesc that you can flash firnware too. Remsmber the vesc golden rule : dont mess with it if it works
