Can’t connect VESC tool to my ESC. Pls help

Hi, The throttle and power draw settings on my Flipsky 75350 are way off out of the box so I purchased the VESC Tool in hopes of being able to calibrate. I've tried both the windows version and the iOS with 2 separate cables and can't figure out how to connect VESC Tool/ESC. I am going to scan>scanBLE and nothing shows up. Very grateful for any help!!

Dear Mr. Vedder...(or somebody else)

 

I am "happy" owner of 100A vesc controller,  one kilogram weight ,3.5kW outrunner and 66 pcs. of Li-Ion cells.  I highly praise and admire Your masterwork called: VESC TOOL PROJECT...but...possession is not enough to be a Lucky guy. Goddess of Fortune won't smile on you .....until you get educated. And this is a core of my problem. I am standard electrician - electrician bu trade -maintenance guy .. with some Electronic experiences.. but... FOR PROPERLY SET/ADJUSTED VESC-(tool) it's NOT ENOUGH... THIS IS A TASK FOR NARROWLY SPECIALISED - UNIVERSITY EDUCATED EXPERT(S)-! engineers... How Can a guy/girl with medium education fully enjoy their devices which costs several hundreds $or€or£...?  Problems which are fixed on vesc forum are not for ordinary folk... plenty of requirements...real QUANTUM of values...Questions seems endless.... So ... what is a solution - (for everyone) ? ...

 

My proposal is: 

 

pleas ...

 

# Create (some possible) database (list) of verified-recomended-well estabilished settings of "vesc+mot"-pairs, which's "behavior" -based on (some) requirements will be (briefly) described in attached description. (batt.type too) if it's possible, "pack of settings" could be easy sent by email . Contrive and trump up the way how to transfer "pack of settings" get into vesctool and drop it in vesc.

 

# Make (affordable payed) service which will Create "custom settings" based on individual "unit behavior" requirements. (May offer limited list of settings of pairs - which's behavior  and properties are REALLY and SERIOUSLY tried and approved)

 

# Make an "homepage post" - place, where satisfied users will publish (in prescribed way) their own settings-experiencies with their pairs (vesc+mot) with behavior-properties of used drive units...(boards, scooters, bikes,vehicles...) (those people could be called DIAMOND CONTRIBUTORS ) 

 

 

or

 

# Send me some website where I Can buy some cyanide or any venom....

 

 

truly Yours...

same question here

as I know, they took away the BLE function.

I had a VESC 100/250, can not catch device on cellphone.

so I connect VESC by laptop, SWD programmer tells [this hardware version does not have SWD connection to the NRF5X].

solution might be need a BLE dongle

hope might solved your problem...

 

for I know, BLE should be a native function, am I right??

if I'm wrong, please correct me...

since when did they took away native BLE function???

VESC as SWD programmer: Flash BLE modules and fix bricked VESCs

Native serial,  Assign incoming port number, Putty and AT&T.. Other examples - Spark Fun - Basic how to instructions documents. FTDI route. Other then that pending phone App - Elon Jet and Jeff Bezos location service ON...

Heads up on BLE imports into Australia. ACMA regulations compliance tick.  Basically a register for sales to. 

Pending HW, Vesc tool version and SW code plug version I like to be of help, although can not hadle two things at once. 

 

 

 

Keep it simple.
