If you choose to buy a locked down anti innovation brand then don’t be surprised what you got. There are thousands of other brands to choose from.

I have no idea about this but in worst case scenario you can experiment with an Android emulator on windows! As I’m not sure the windows program supports Bluetooth

it does, but its emulator depended, not all support bluetooth, and certainly not all can handle more than one bluetooth device connection at the same time. something like bluestack should have full support (multiple ble link) like a normal android tablet / phone tho.

While it needs hardware, most BT modules work with it, doesn’t have to be robogotchi. FW needs to be 5.0+ IIRC
I’ve configured boards with the stock SC BT module without issue.

Where can i buy the spacers for the MBS hubs to pulleys that’s cheaper than Lacroix?

Setting up my fsesc 4.12, the manuel had some warnings about putting the vesc in FOC mode. Vesctool ony shows ‘set up motors FOC’. Can I use this or do I need to click somewhere else :sweat_smile:

Looks like you are running a 10s battery so FOC should be fine

Yes, using a 10S! Thanks for the reply!
