Taken me a while to post this but I’ve had major issues with my logger ever since I installed it.
First things first, connection. It’s hard to do anything on this device, tbh, connection between phone and module is inconsistent, drops, and is nearly impossible to pick back up again if you lose it, often resulting in a screen like this which can only be solved by restarting the board:
If you’re curious, the lights on the logger are as follows even during this screen:
After you actually get connected to the device, it’s really annoying to use because one, it doesn’t auto connect, often requiring between 2 and 3 taps on the connect button, and two, because you never know what action you might take that will make it disconnect. Here’s my hardware info:
Samsung Galaxy S21U, Android 12
infinitytool version 4.03
iLogger FW 1.0.6
Vesc: MakerX DV6 Pro, firmware 5.2, connected via UART
Anyways, so lets make our way to the logging screen. First thing here, it’s super confusing which vesc you’re actually selecting, bad UI design decision. The blue one is the one you AREN’t looking at, I think.
Hard to say. Either way, if you’re going to do it as non-descript as this, I would highly expect the blue one to be the one that’s selected, not the other way around.
Next, let’s tap into the SD card. Oh wait, it disconnected for some reason. (only kind of joking, this has happened many times)
First, before accessing the SD card, you need to tap the play button in the top right to turn on realtime data, which is fine, but then you tap on SD card, and half the time the logger has disconnected and you can’t see anything, to which, the only solution seems to be, restarting the board.
How can it be logging and you can’t see the other logs? Idk, but pressing the refresh button in the top right does nothing at all.
Next up, we finally get into the sd card, see the log we want to look at, tap on it, and OOOhooooh wait. You have to wait now to view it.
This process takes an excruciatingly long amount of time, no idea why. I assume it’s using Bluetooth to send data, but I really wish you could just ad-hoc to the ilogger so it can have more speed. This file you see here in the screenshot took over 10 minutes to go from tapping view, to actually being able to see anything.
After it finally finishes, you are able to view the logs, but it’s not really the greatest interface IMO
This is what you see after the log loads, and then you can tap in to see each esc. However, usually I don’t care what each individual side is doing, so I’d really rather just see the numbers laid out next to each other instead of split in two
Anyways, so you find the log, tap on it, and then hit back… Oh no, I accidentally hit back twice!! CRAP, now I have to wait for the entire log to download to the phone again. Extremely inconvenient, and makes it a huge pain to use this interface.
Finally we get to the reason why I’m even here right now. All of this pain could be slightly less if you were able to actually upload your logs to the online dashboard, but guess what, that doesn’t work for me either lol
Before you ask, of course, I checked the connection on the main page and it was connected to the network, according to the app, and the indicator on the module. However, to no avail.
Fun fact, I put two screenshots because of the glitch that happens here. If you click upload on a single log, and it errors, you get one error message. If you click upload all, you get MANY error messages stacked up, which is why you see that black screen. If you hit back enough times you can get back to the app though, fortunately.
So anyways. I hope you have enjoyed my extremely long rant / problem report, and we will end it with this. You have the ability to send logs, but the send button doesn’t do anything. So I don’t really know where to go from here, but I desperately want to be able to upload to the online interface so I can see if that is better to use than the app version.
I would like to add that I do want this project to succeed, there are just a lot of bugs seemingly to work through. Also, it doesn’t give me a lot of hope for integration with the remote, but who knows, we will see what happens.
@WavRX Hopefully you can shed some light on the issues I’ve been having.
Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
