VESC HM-10 bluetooth wiring

is the EN pin pulled up on the module? i’ve seen some that are actually pulled down, so you need to short the EN pin to VCC

No need. At least on mine, it works well without doing anything with (just a shrinktube on it )

Thanks @Blasto, the typo was fixed!

So, once you have it connected and powered up is there anything you need to do in settings to make it work with the BLDC app?

Maybe check out the post 5 posts above yours.

Thanks! Misssd the ppm and uart part.

Anyone know of a DIY ble remote control

What app is everyone using for iOS?

rpn314 · September 15, 2017, 9:42pm

metr and perimtr are you’re only really options (same guy, does different things). He requires that you buy his bluetooth module though. I think most of us on iOS just don’t, sadly.

@emmaanuel created one for iOS http://www.electric-skateboard.builders/t/new-ios-app-eskate-vesc-for-standard-and-ackmaniac-fw/32340

Thanks fantastic! I hadn’t seen that post yet, thanks for the heads up!

Thank you, reading i had to enable uart helped me. I had to set baud to 9600 too

Hi All,

I installed the HM-10 module and used it / got a read out on the app, now it’s stopped. Looking around the pins of the HM-10 + heat shrink I applied, there’s white clouding. I’m guessing that I’ve got the 5V to 3.3V issue.

Can anyone please explain what resistors are required and how/where to solder them in? (Complete beginner here to resistors etc)

Much appreciated!

jalapeno_ninja · April 16, 2018, 4:43am

Yep I did, but the posts that followed that said it was incorrect? (And I’m not sure what 1K ohm / 2K ohm resistors are to buy).

ZackoryCramer · April 16, 2018, 4:54am

Can you reference the post? The resistors assembled in a T junction is a simple method of cutting down voltage which that guy didn’t seem to understand.

Resistance is the only main parameter that defines a resistor. Any new resistor with that resistance will do.

oh wait ur right. Didn’t see that coming. But I would highly doubt its the overvoltage causing the trouble. I had problems like that in the past and what I would do is restart my phone and it works again.

Acido · April 16, 2018, 5:14am

Check your wires, maybe you did not solder them very well and somehow something broke???

Hm10 modules usually work on 5v…

Mine was working, but now it stoped… i updated both vescs to 3.101 (Ackmaniac). I set the PPM and UART, 9600bps BT Modul is blinking slowly, my phone finds a “unknown device”, but i cant connect to it.
