They appear to be wired the same. They are different though, it looks like the ugly one is a new & cheaper variant with only copper on one side instead of both sides.

That's good, because our feelings (mine, yours, and everyone's) about the GPL license are 100% irrelevant. That's the license the author chose --- and it has specific legal terms that must be followed. How we feel about it, is irrelevant in that context. If you want to use VESC, you follow...

GPL was created explicitly to protect individuals and the small guy.

mxlemming, you're extremely ungrateful and hate-filled. The only reason you even have any of this shit is because of the very thing you are crapping upon. And you seem to be intent on shitting upon further progress for some reason only known to you. The GPL license as designed does wonderful...

It's literally the law and the engineers should be doing this anyway as part of their work. You don't need to ask permission to follow the law at work. You just do it as part of the coding you're doing. It's as much a part of the process as compiling is. If you were a truck driver, you don't...

This is fantastic. Seriously. The only problem is that it's not "difficult" or "time consuming". They can just post a couple text files from their computer for free and it's done, they have abided by the license terms. This isn't something that needs a whole team to engineer a fix for. It...

A lot of the technical problems were actually caused by their theft. The fact that you are advocating so hard for criminals is very suspicious indeed. It's not legal. Full stop.

If you really like the VESC project, you would advocate for it to not be stolen.

It's still illegal to ship that binary, modified, or unmodified, without the ability and willingness to ship the source code for it. If you ship the binaries for GPL copyrighted software, you must also provide the source for those binaries upon request. Full stop. It's not open for...

Bruh, if you have anything other than very minimal coding experience, then you know that the problem here isn't them modifying the code. It's them modifying the code and refusing -- as legally obligated to -- to release their modified source code. This is against the copyright law and revokes...

You mean the party that is you having all this cool VESC stuff that's 100% made possible by folks adhering to copyright laws? The kind of fun allowing YOU to build cool electric vehicles? It's all because of the laws, buddy. This helps YOU if they follow the law, not some foreign abstract...

It's beyond strange, it's actually ILLEGAL and it's theft.

The CarbonGT does not get 20 miles. They have exaggerated by about 100% and also the stock battery doesn't last very long.
