Configuration and telemetry for VESC [iOS, Android]

Thanks for the clarification. This is the workaround I‘m currently using - let‘s see how long I can resist the metr.pro :wink:

Hey mate, is it possible to modify your VESC tool fork to show the Bluetooth module name? I can’t find mine, I’ve literally 100+ device UUID around me :frowning:

Congrats, you should have an anniversary sale!

New FW for Metr Pro with tons of features ? :slight_smile:

:birthday: TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY UPDATE :birthday:

:mega: TL,DR: Audio Announcements, Expert (Perimetr), BLACK Friday SALE

Hello fellow builders, today is the second anniversary of metr.at project. A lot of good stuff happened during the past year, but the most notable events are @hexakopter joining the team and Metr Pro bluetooth module launch. We are thankful for all the feedback we got from this amazing community :heart_eyes: and very excited to continue our work.

:sunny::sunny::sunny:

We are celebrating by releasing the new version of Metr App with Audio Announcements :headphones: announceTab We found this feature surprisingly useful and in some cases even more convenient than smartwatch. A simple example is when you are moving and need to keep your eyes 100% focused on the road, but you want to know your speed or current consumption right here right now. announceView

The announcements are flexible so you can configure interval and upper / lower limits. This allows you for example to do things like this:

  • Tell speed every 30 seconds when speed is below 20kph
  • Tell speed every 5 seconds when speed is above 20kph and 30kph
  • Tell speed every 1 second when speed is above 30kph

It will hopefully help you to keep attention and increase your awareness. Another nice addition is that announcements are automatically done in the current language. Thanks again everyone who contributed the translations! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: There are quite a few now! Deutsch :de: , Español :es:, Français :fr: , Italiano :it: , Norsk :norway: (Bokmål, Nynorsk), Portuguese :portugal: , Русский :ru:

The UI got a little refresh, mainly because it was hard to find Perimetr. It is now easier and since the name was somewhat confusing, it is just called Expert now. In Expert mode you can change any Parameter (Motor Configuration or App Configuration) for any connected VESC and you have convenient omnibox to search it.

Finally, we decided to do a BLACK Friday SALE, which you can find in a separate topic HERE :black_heart: :black_heart: :black_heart:

Thank you! :slight_smile:

I tried the announce feature quickly, and it announced speed in kmh instead of the mph imperial measurement units everything else. Is this user configurable yet?

Thanks for reporting, this is a bug! Fixed and pushing v3.4.2 update today. There is no additional configuration needed, the current System from Settings is used.

Anyway this feature can be used for Notifications, more specifically charging?

Yes it can :face_with_raised_eyebrow: I didn’t think about this use case, but why not. If you turn off “Only when moving” and it should work!

Thanks. One other quick question, is there a way for you to add wh/mile calc to the metrics displayed (or announced), yes easy calc but one that I check live via other apps during ride to see how efficiency is going (real time and avg calc)?

Yes it is a good idea, but I didn’t figure out yet what’s the best way to announce wh/mile. I guess the best way is to average to something around 5 seconds. Or?

That is a good question, I had assume a rolling weighted average of 5 seconds or so, but lets see what others with better ideas suggest!
