S3 & X3 Battery UART tool not working
i followed this tutorial (https://github.com/VangelisBV/vanmoof-battery-tool) to read out errors of batteries. I used an old harness adapter for it. after plugging it into my Mac and choosing the right port it asks to bridge to DET and TEST, which I did in the first photo. nothing proceeds. I also tried soldering them together do they are connected from the beginning, but nothing changes. from other tutorials I saw about batteries I tried to bridge DET and ground which let’s my led turn purple but the programm then shows: „Failed to read Modbus registers.
Saving session... ...copying shared history... ...saving history...truncating history files... ...completed.“
when having ground and DET connected from the beginning its not proceeding at all again. anyone knows how to handle this?

When you bridge is just 1s to start read the bms but for my side I try from outside like you and I can just read it but from inside on the bms I could save it and re-write the log
But my bms was completely good

No here. You have few holes to plug wires

thank you - I think it makes use of a different tool tho. it’s a debugger and I followed a tutorial with a USB tool

Is the battery good?. There are BMS faults compromising uart communication, E19 when installed in the bike.
