I have been using your app easily for over a year now. But now it seems that the app doesn’t show my boards anymore. I have two boards and none are shown on my phone. I have android 8 and the hm-10 clone you suggested.
Did you update your smartphone to Android 8 since then? Because the HM-10 clones don’t work with Android 8. You need to update the firmware on the modules to work with it.
That is the case. Is there a new module I could buy, which supports Android 8, because I don’t have an arduino?
FYI, tested the app with a Unity, all seems to work. The only thing I noticed is that the motor current value is for only one motor, but I think that is how it is expected to work.
I would love to see motor temperature displayed and logged. Thanks for all your work on this.

Just released a new update which for the unity support which summarizes the data of both motors and shows it. So in case you are using a unity you should set 1 motor in the settings to see the correct data.

It works great. Im getting motor currents that make sense now.
@Ackmaniac dude, just took my board for my first ride and was pleasantly surprised that the app keeps record of all the data. You made a seriously great app. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
PS on another note, does anyone know how to (If possible) autosave the distance/location/time aspect of the ride? So each time I go for a ride it saves a map view of where I went? I know there are some apps for runners and stuff, but i wouldn’t be surprised if this app had it too.

It saves those logs in a folder on your phone automatically and you can use something like VDLA to view the logs in a nice map with stats.

great App Bro!! I just would to see an Evo shape … is there a way to change that?
Hi guys, I recently had some issues with the Ackmaniac android app not showing data / shows data periodically. So basically I was using adc+uart on my e-bike. I decided to use an arduino to convert the adc input to ppm input so I could change modes on the android app. This was prior to the 3.103 update which allowed mode change on adc. I accidentally swapped tx rx for 5v and gnd. Then when I swapped it back to the correct position, the android app stopped showing data. All I did was change to ppm+uart from adc+uart. Everything else was the same. The vesc worked fine, no issues with performance at all. The bluetooth data just didnt show. I changed a bluetooth module and got it to work for 5 minutes. Then it just stopped working again. I took it out for a ride and it worked, I could change modes and everything. Then it just stopped again. I thought that I could have damaged my vesc by my mistake of swapping tx rx with 5v and gnd. So I tried to solder jumper wires to pin 28/29 on the microcontroller on the vesc itself after reading about someone having same issues as me (intermittent connections) and having success connecting 28/29 directly to the bluetooth modules, bypassing the traces on the pcb of the vesc. I ended up fucking that up and that was the end of my vesc.
So I bought another one, and the same issue happened. I doubt it’s software since it’s intermittent, it’s not weak signal, I put my phone right next to the module and it still didn’t work. I doubt its hardware since I changed to a whole new vesc.
Whenever I unplug the vesc, the data suddenly shows up on the android app. Like for a split second it sends data before I unplug it completely. This is what shows up during the unplugging process. 
I honestly don’t know what could be the problem, I reinstalled everything, factory resetting my phone as well, trying with another phone, same issue.
If anyone could provide some insight into this I would be very thankful.
hello yours akmaniac app can this connect to a focbox unity? thank you
As far as i know only via additional HM-10 BLE module. I don’t have a UNITY myself but that’s what i heard.

I just tested and it not works I do not have the information but jarrive me to connect I must have the app akmaniac in the focbox unity or I can uses the one of enertion? Thank you for the quick reply
Hi, I am having problems with the android app. I have the new expensive BT module that works with all the apps. I am using ackmaniac firmware and I am able to connect via the ackmaniac esc tool but no data is displayed and when I click on add modes it will say “esc not connected” It is working all with the METR and PERIMETR app. no problem. Any suggestions?
Did you set the baud rate to 9600? If not then this is the reason.
Yeah I had it set to 115200 or something like that, other apps worked but to make sure I have set it to 9600 today and still the same.
You definitely need the value of 9600, other apps use different baud rates. When it doesn’t work with 9600 then you could try it with an older phone/android version as some people have troubles with the latest android fw and HM-10 clones.

That’s why I bought the one that should have full support and should work with everything. Definitelly with ackmaniac. https://eskating.eu/product/bluetooth-uart-metr-pro-module-for-electric-skateboards-all-apps-os/ I miss the video recording overlay function, ackmaniac has it the best.
The baud rate is only for the communication from the vesc to the module. The app doesn’t care about the baudrate.

Ah interesting. So you advice to set it to 9600 because of the HM-10 BT module and it can be different for other modules if I understand it right.
