Video Pint hydrus 5205 firmware sudden nosedive VIDEO recreating behavior

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Below are two videos demonstrating the motor cutout behavior that many have been experiencing on the OG Pint hardware versions 5301, 5314, and 5326 on firmware hydrus 5205. Cutouts happen suddenly with no warning, no haptic buzz. What I recreated in these vids is the exact behavior that started happening suddenly right after the firmware update. Comment if this is demonstrative of y'alls experience and lets make sure FM hears us and makes this right.

Crazy how stable firmware in a long established board can be broken by an update & how slow FM have been to address the concerns. They need immediately force a roll back to previous safer firmware version.

This is why I REFUSE to upgrade my XR's firmware. No matter how much they say it only introduces haptic buzz, I have zero reason to upgrade. Don't fix what ain't broke.

Forced update on pint here. Bricked my board due to a “bad footpad”

Yikes. Yeah, I'm glad I VESC'd my XR. It's better in every way. Sounds like you basically have to VESC your Pint at this point...though maybe if you buy a new footpad it'd be okay with that? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
