The new Metr Pro firmware update is coming out with Read-only feature. In this mode only following commands are allowed:
COMM_FW_VERSION
COMM_GET_VALUES
COMM_GET_MCCONF
COMM_GET_MCCONF_DEFAULT
COMM_GET_APPCONF
COMM_GET_APPCONF_DEFAULT
COMM_TERMINAL_CMD
COMM_GET_DECODED_PPM
COMM_GET_DECODED_ADC
COMM_GET_DECODED_CHUK
COMM_GET_BMS_CELLS
COMM_PING_CAN
This also includes CAN commands. All other commands will be discarded ant not sent to VESC. It will effectively make UART communication read-only. Not only with Metr app, but also for all other apps that communicate via bluetooth.
This feature is an extra barrier to prevent user errors. It is easy to toggle read-only on and off from the metr app.
Other news:
- Latest VESC FW 3.59 and 3.60 are supported now
- Startup Mode feature was removed (caused a lot of user error)
- Duty cycle during motor detection was increased to 0.15
