Hi,

I have a Flipsky 6.7 Dual Min, with a VX4 remote connected to it via UART. How can I connect the VESC to the VescTool on my PC/MAC for changes without resorting to the USB cable? Bluetooth is far easier and hassle free, but im not sure what additional hardware I need, and if I can use it having the UART port with the VX4 connected to it on one of the vescs

Help would be appreciated. Many Thanks!

Do you have a ble module on your vesc?
Is it enabled?
Can you discover the ble module using your phone ?

Using ble through the pc app is possible but finicky imo. I think connecting over ble is best done through the android app. I guess you didn’t buy it?

You can buy any VESC compatible ble module.

A metr module would also work.

Flipsky sells one, trampa sells one… take a look around and post it here
