I’m currently setting up my campus board for college and because there will be snow in the winter I wanted to use a bluetooth module that I bought from @BuildKitBoards a while ago instead of a voltage meter.
Got everything powered up and opened both my xmatic app and eSkate VESC app, but the it wouldn’t work. Here’s what I get:
I recently updated the firmware on both of my VESCXs and of course after doing that I found this thread, where @Trampa said they are no longer compatible with certain modules. I’m assuming that’s why my module has stopped working all of a sudden.
So, just to clarify, do I need to get metr pro in order to have readings go to my phone? Or is there a way around this. Thanks.
I believe BKB bluetooth modules are HM-10, which won’t work with the official vesc versions.
You could use ackmaniac software, downgrade to an older version of vesc-tool, or get a NRF module (i.e flipsky $10 & basic telemetry & works with android vesc tool or metr pro $$ and wayyy cooler).
@anorak234 I just got a BKB module running with a MayTech 4.12 running the most recent firmware from the VESC Tool, it was not responding to the Xmatic app at first but it works now
5v, ground, Rx and Tx all hooked up, the module powers!
PPM and UART along with baud rate 9600 uploaded to ESC 0
I go to the Ackamaniac Mobile app, I can connect to the module HMsoft I believe
No telemetry comes thru, everything is zeros, and I get a message “ESC not connected”
