I have been trying to code a drivebase using the new 2024 Phoenix 6 software and I updated the motors on our bot to the latest version. After updating them, Phoenix Tuner X shows them as having an unknown software and I keep getting stale errors when trying to run code. I also noticed that while Phoenix Tuner X is at version 2024.5 the server version is 2023. Could this cause an issue? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
When running beta firmware, the devices in Tuner X will show up as purple with a “Device is running unknown or beta firmware” message.
This tells me that your robot program may not be using the 2024 Phoenix 6 beta vendordep. The 2024 beta comes from a different vendordep link than our regular stable releases; you can find the link on our docs landing page.
Also note that while we are in beta, the Tuner X temporary diagnostic server will not deploy a 2024-compatible server, so you need to run a robot program instead.

That might be the issue I’ll check later today and see. Thank you!

In that case, I would expect the server version to be 2024.0.2. If it is not, then double check that your robot program successfully deployed to the roboRIO. Note that our 2024 beta requires 2024 beta WPILib and the 2024 beta roboRIO image.
