Hi, I just ordered a smart watch, since my new board won’t have telemetry I thought about adding battery percentage, estimated km left and some speed and motor temp data to the watch itself since it comes with a Hoyt puck that doesn’t have telemetry.
A couple of things I want to know before I start this adventure.
Is it possible to read telemetry data directly from blutooth device connected to vesc or do I need to connect an arduino to vesc and read data through UART port then send that data through blutooth module to my watch to display. I haven’t been able to find any info on this.
Metr pro allows you to change what data is displayed and where I believe, but I digress. Since vesc tool is open source, there’s no technical reason you couldn’t use an existing bluetooth module to read the data. Just depends on what’s easier for you personally.
I could fall back on metr as I have one on my desk but blutooth module is cheaper. Why not just make an app and have it free and open source so others have a much cheaper alternative.
As @rusins said, the fact the the open source app reading out telemetry just with the bluetooth module makes it pretty much guaranteed that you can do it with only the bluetooth module.
