VESC read temperature values with vesc arduino library

Hello, I checked all the arduino library available on github for VESC, and I don't find one with read motor temp or mosfet temp command.

Can anyone help me?

Which Arduino library? What VESC? What version of firmware? What have you tried?
With so little information help will be hard to give.

Assuming:
a) its a newer e.g. older than v4.12 HW
b) running a newer firmware e.g. older than v3.4 FW

Try https://github.com/SolidGeek/VescUart ,  you may have to edit the library at `.master/src/VescUart.cpp#L187` to set the first 2 bytes to be the FET temp and the next 2 bytes to be the motor temp.
Once you've made the edit try pushing it back so SolidGeek knows people do want to get the FET/motor temps from their VESCs.
