VESC 100/250 Bluetooth not showing up

Hi,

Hoping someone can help me. I have only just started playing with the VESC. I can connect fine via USB to my laptop and have updated to the 5.3 firmware. No matter what I try though I cannot read the Bluetooth signal and I was under the impression that BT is native on this VESC unit? 

I was expecting to at least read a BT signal but I cannot and I have tried multiple phones. I have moved to an area miles away from any possible interference. 

Has anyone experienced this and what did you do to fix it. Is is possible I have a duff bluetooth module? 

Many thanks in advance.

John

BT will only work under Linux. Windows is not supported. You can also connect to your phone and build a TCP bridge to your desktop. Phone and computer need to be in the same network.

The Phone App has a section in the lower part of the first page. VESC-Tool has the TCP option in the CONNECTIONS menu. You need to enter the IP shown in the App and click connect.

Thanks for the reply Frank, have got connected on the phone. I needed to erase and re upload the firmware for the BT module.
