VESC tool windows 10 connection via bluetooth

Hi everyone,

I have a VESC 6 and I would like to connect to it with my laptop using bluetooth (as my usb on the vesc is a bit.. brokenangel). I have seen a Bluetooth tab on the vesc tool software however it does not seem to detec the vesc :/. If I try to add a bluetooth device throug windows settings, I can see my VESC esc. 

Am I doing something wrong or is it just not working on windows ? 

 

P.S: I am able to connect via bluetooth with the andorid app on my phone and it works like a charm

You need vesctool compiled for w10. Can be found here.
https://github.com/rpasichnyk/vesc_tool/releases/tag/v2.05

Im using this and it is working :)

I had one issue though and it is that my built in bluetooth in the laptop wont work. I had to use an external dongle.

Is there more info about Windows support of bluetooth connections?

I found the TCP workaround, but does it work with the BT modules integrated into the laptops? I know the integrated BLE works on my linux Vesc Tool, but I can't get it working on windows

Just chiming in to add my bit.. I'm not sure if there's a special version somewhere but I am unable to get my laptop to connect either :-(. I can scan up the Bluetooth device but it is unable to make the connection.  Connects fine via USB.

my scenario - VESC6.  5.02 FW

I am in the same boat. That older compiled version works, yet the latest one not.

I pairing my phone and VESC by bluetooth, and use bridge function on android app. Then I can connect PC and phone with TCP-connect in VESC-tool on PC. And PC see my VESC.

VESC TOOL for windows work via Bluetooth  HC-05 connected to UART to VESC 6 FOCer.

Factory baudrate module is 9600,

in VESC TOOL  You need first configure VESC by USB cable and activate control over UART and set baudrate 9600

Pair BT with windows   (PIN 1234) .. Find new COMx, choose ..connect and works
