Does the MONSTER of eating 50.000 Points get a solution?

Yes, the solution for now is to increase Point Interval. I guess you have it set to 500. Change it to 750 :wink:

Does this big interval also records the max values if they are within the time frame?

Hey guys…

I have a strange behavior: When i change something from METR like the BATTERY MAX to 25A, after i restart the FocBox by powering off on the value change back to 30A.

Do i miss there something?

Do you have Metr Pro? Clear Startup Mode.

Thank… Never realized that there is a „startup mode“ nice to have!

Hi Roman,

Just for curiosity. Did you use COMM_GET_VALUES_SELECTIVE for 3.48 FW support ? Seems interesting using it for backwards compatibility, isn’t it ?

No, I don’t use it yet. But I agree, it is interesting. I like how it is implemented :+1:

I got it working for my SmartRing. It’s quite interesting for little projects where only a few variables are needed (in my case, packVoltage and MotorCurrent. That’s all). And hopefully, no changes anymore even with new FW update ! :heart_eyes:

Hello Roman, Sorry to spam this thread :smile: Is it easy for you to trigger a popup when starting Metr app asking to enable Bluetooth if it’s disabled ? I always shut it down when not used (i.e 90% of the time). @Ackmaniac 's app has this feature and I must admit it’s pretty convenient. :slight_smile:

Thanks !

I’d settle for a Bluetooth connected message… it would let me know my phone sees the board without having to check.

I added bluetooth enabled check, I agree it is a nice little improvement. Thanks! :+1:

Thank you a lot Roman for being such concerned by User experience and listen to our needs. This feature will be very useful !!

I got what I think is an original METR module plugged into my Unity through the UART port and my iPhone pairs to the METR via the METR app but all the values are 0 regardless of what I do. I’ve tried with the BUAD rate set to 9600 and 115200 and there is no feedback. What should I try next?

Unity does not work with original Metr chip, only Metr Pro with updated FW

Disappointing but thanks!

What is the cheapest smart watch that’s working with metr?

What is the best VESC firmware to use with the original Metr bluetooth module connected to a VESC v4.12 with a DieBieMS? I want to be able to change modes.

I’m loving all the updates! I’ve been out of the loop for a bit and am trying to catch up. Great to see the implementation of Wh/mi and the audio announcements!

You can use @Ackmaniac 3.103 with a METR module, change modes with METR app or Ack app, use TCP/IP connectivity to config, etc. You can also use the newer VESC firmware, but I like Ack’s better as it makes more sense.
