I've been playing with an Adafruit Feather nRF52 (nRF52832) in combination with my BMS and its BLE, and reading the BMS data is working great.
Can something like this be done with the VESC and a BLE dongle?
I know that I can read the data through UART and CAN, but I would like to do it wireless, without adding another "Arduino" to the VESC (kind of like the VESC tool, but for Arduino).
Any info on this would be appreciated.

1-2 years ago, I successfully hooked up a NRF51822 to Vesc via Uart and can monitor data in realtime on my smartphone. Not sure how I did it (IIRC the NRF had to be programmed somehow) but I must have found instructions somewhere.

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... Hopeless Holder™ ... Sent From my sister's Huawei
