Awesome! time to get a Bluetooth module!
Nothing important, just a little mistake. Thought I would let you know if there are any significant updates worth making this might be easy to fix. BTW: great app, appreciate your work!

When I connect to my module it isnât reading any values. It just shows the main screen with all stats displaying zero. I am running on the 3.34 firmware updated via the VESC Tool.
Have you enabled UART on your VESC ? Baud rate to 9600 ?
I use RC remote so its set to PPM and UART. I tried both 115200 and 9600. but Iâll try 9600 again. EDIT: The Vesc Connect Pro app says VESC firmware is too old.
VESC connect pro is crap, it says the same thing for me but my VESC works well with @Ackmaniacâs app.
I tried his app as well. It showed up as BT05, but when I tried connecting to it, all the stats on screen weâre zero. I tried tapping the disconnect and connect button in the top right and it didnât seem to do anything. I may have to try a different device. Iâm using my Android 7.1.2 tablet because my phone runs Android Oreo and BLE wonât work.
EDIT: seems like my VESC had bigger problems. I had to reset the firmware with an ST-link because not even the usb connection would work. Bluetooth works great now! I have no idea what happened to my vesc thoughâŚ
Weird. I had issues at first because I didnât activate the localisation. The app needs Bluetooth and localisation to work properly. Once I did that, the app found my board, I tapped it, gave it a name and setup pulleys and battery settings and that was it.
Yes it needs the right to read the location. Took me a couple of hours to find out that this is necessary for android to be able to use Bluetooth low energy.
@Brando did you set the baud rate to 9600 and crossed TX and RX on vesc and bluetooth module?

Can the app handle dual vescs that are not connected to each other or do I need to switch between modules?
You have to switch between them. But I recommend to connect them via CAN.
@Ackmaniac I could see strange values coming in(FW2.18), and slow update speed. It is maybe a result of an EMI. And I wonder why that really happens. And I have a question, if I configure Bluetooth module & VESC to use 115200 baudrate, would it work with the Vesc-Monitor app? Thank you for your time&effort for building this amazing app
The app will work with 115200 as well. And I donât know why you have a slow update rate and strange data. Maybe try to switch to a newer version.

Thank you for response, here is my screenshot of the log where âWrongâ values are logged
=> I am pretty sure somehow transmission data was corrupted/un-synced at those 2 moments.
And do you mean the bldc firmware or bldc-tool firmware by saying ânewer versionâ?? In that case, I got my VESC from @torqueboards and I am afraid I might mess up the drv-chip. What software can I upgrade, from Hardware v4.12 ?
This is such a great App 
@Ackmaniac!
How much I have to donate for a second selectable theme like this? 
It would be great at night and even at day imo with grey numbers and the main ones in white.

I will give it a thought. Donations are always welcome.

looks great!
I just released a new version of the app which has a changed BLE connection which should help to improve the stability of the connection. It also has a black layout which can be activated via the settings. And when you press on the distance box you activate drag measurement which shows you how lang you need for 0-25m, 0-50m, 0-75m, 0-100m, 0-125m, 0-150m, 0-175m and 0-200m meters from a standstill.
Google will need a couple of hours to provide the new version.
