VESC Monitor Android App

@SeanHacker off topic, seeing that you are using a GT2B, can you turn off your board and remote, then turn on JUST your board and see if goes full throttle after 30 or so seconds? Mine and @danielz is having that issue

Im not anymore, i trimmed the throttle to 1500ms, so the silly gt2b receiver cant run my board into a ditch.

Helmet cam works quiet well. Might try it myself.

I see you have a lot of signal interruptions. Guess that’s coming from the carbon enclosure. Maybe try to position the module outside of the enclosure. When i ride i have more or less zero interruptions.

I remember a very long time ago I had that same issue. I don’t have it anymore because I needed to set the failsafe. I really can’t remember the process though as it was soooooo long ago.

its not a failsafe issue, the gt2b ignores the failsafe at 30 seconds after power on IF the controller isnt connected. It moves the timing to stock 1500ms. So if you failsafe isnt near 1500ms bye bye boardy. At least thats what mine does.

Yeah. I’ve actually been testing a couple different modules lately. I think this one isn’t very good because that doesn’t happen on the others. Going to switch back to my old trusty tonight or tomorrow.

Just decided to modify the refresh rate because it was too fast in the videos. Was hard to read the data when it changes with every frame. So it set it down to 6 realtime data updates a second.

New version is 1.77. @SeanHacker Maybe it also results in a more reliable connection for you.

I didn’t mean that mine clone works with oreo. It works in general. I don’t have Oreo to test it. I would say that the options are update the firmware on the module as you said (actually new clone firmware should be oreo compatible) or by real hm-10 module (HM-10 Transparent Serial Port Bluetooth 4.0 Modules Bluetooth Serial Port With Logic Level Transformation http://s.aliexpress.com/FJBJJ3qI?fromSns=Copy to Clipboard). The lates is the only one I found it identical to the description in the blog before mentioned. Still not sure you get exactly this one. You can ask them as picture before shipping. Otherwise buy it through other channels for more.

I actually have version 1.78 now. I will try it later on. Thx

has anyone having problems with the 1.78 version? i am getting all crazy negative numbers in battery/power/motor current/battery current boxes…

I didn’t using during ride yet. But by just check it on bench the value are ok. As I said I didn’t have the chance to try it on road yet. I am painting!

Which firmware version do you use? And it would be easier to analyse if you can make a video with the app.

Edit: Found the bug, i guess you use 2.18 or 2.54. Relased a new Version 1.79 which should fix that problem. Thanks for the info.

you are right. using 2.18. i´ll update, test and record as soon as update

thank YOU for this great APP

Nice! I’m going to be strapping the phone to my head again tonight to test on my way home from work. Thanks dude!

had the same weird info. i double checked if some wire was a little loose on the vesc. but it was ok. i made a video showing what is going on. if you need some extra information i´ll be glad to help. ps: later i can open the bldc in my computer and double check the terminal…

Do you have already version 1.79?

yes, i updated before making the video.

You double checked with the version number it shows in the app? (First screen at the top left)

later i´ll check the bldc terminal/real data. thanks
