Beta or public?
Public, I’m still only seeing 0.18.2, no 0.19
Doesn’t look like public has made it through the approval process.
Beta is ready in TestFlight.
Cheers for that, I’m not in a rush anyway I just recently switched to iOS and I hate the thing so I wasn’t sure if I was missing something
Are you looking at TestFlight or the App Store?
TestFlight is going to be one version ahead.
This one is on me and not the haunted unity, but it looks like I’ve hurt my xenigotchi. Misaligned the header it uses to connect to the unity and put it in one set of pins to the side, the gotchi doesn’t give a power on sound and the unity won’t fully boot while they’re connected.
Unity turns on when the gotchi is out, and the xenigotchi does give a power on when fed 5v and ground directly, it just looks like I’ve killed some data lines on either the unity or the xenigotchi. Anyone else made this mistake before?
I have, and it doesn’t generally damage the Xenigotchi.
This is definitely strange. Are you able to confirm that 5v is present on the Unity header when it’s on? This sounds like a power issue rather than comms.
Yup, it’s showing 5.28V between the 2 pins 1 and 5 (labelled on the xenigotchi schematic as 5V and GND)
After flashing my robogtchi,why I can’t find bluetooth in FreeSK8 app.
Very similar conversation taking place here:

Wondering if anyone’s run into any issues with the BLE connection on the mobile app, Android version 0.18. It seems to kick out an error consistently while on the RT screen, but I haven’t been able to fully isolate the reason why. It seems to occur most often when I hit a bump, but it stays connected to the ESC and I don’t need to reconnect. It brings out the debug log, but doesn’t seem to impact the app in any way when I close the log. Is there a way for this error to fail silently? I’ve got more verbose logs if that helps.

Thanks for reporting this! I’ll ping @skate420 and we can dig in a bit further, emailing us the verbose logs might be helpful too.
To confirm, which BLE device are you connecting to? Robogotchi? Integrated Stormcore BLE?
Sure thing! It’s the integrated BLE on the uBox. I don’t have your email, but I can DM you the log if needed, since it’s not super long and it’s just text.
By default the debug log opens from shaking the device so it’s accessible at any time. The option to disable that functionality isn’t implemented but is a good idea. Especially if the device is mounted to the deck. I’ll add it to my notes for the next release!
OOOH that explains a lot! I was thinking that was some flutter debug feature so I tried to do a release build, but that didn’t seem to work. Now that I know what’s causing it I can delete it from my custom build. Thanks for the explanation!
If I understand correctly to record my rides I would have to purchase hardware and add it to my production boards that probably aren’t made to fit more stuff in them. Stuff that appears to be all sold out anyway. My production boards both have Stormcores (Lacroix Nazare’ and Hoyt St. EL 2.1). The app connects easily. Good to check battery charge. However, I would like it to record my max speed and distance traveled. I’d certainly be willing to pay for an upgraded app that would perform that task. Am I missing that possibility or does it just not exist?
Stormcore has their own app that logs, but it’s IOS only.
You can record using the official VESC app, there is a logging feature on the developer tab, but it has to be checked every time you ride, and the only way to view it is in the desktop VESC tool or a custom program (CSV file)
If you just want speed and distance, any GPS phone app/Strava can do that and doesn’t need to talk to the Stormcore.
FreeSK8 app works with their Robogotchi/Xenigotchi module, but those modules log directly and you sync with the app, as far as I know the app can’t record on its own.
If you want real time logging on the phone, the METR.AT is a popular option, but it does require their bluetooth dongle to be placed somewhere inside your board. It’s really small though.
You would need a Robogotchi to get what you’re looking for, and the matching GPS module to get all the good data. They’re smaller than you might think.
i can grab the dimensions if need be
i managed to stuff a robo, usplit, and old gos module in a box that’s 104 x 176 x 40mm in volume
I can’t speak for the Hoyt, but several local dudes here have fit them in both the Naz and the Lonestar
