Help Needed: Sending Individual Throttle Signals to Two Motors Over Bluetooth Using VESC

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project that requires sending separate throttle signals to two different motors via Bluetooth. I need full bidirectional control of each motor's throttle independently to enable tank-style turning (where motors can rotate in opposite directions). I'm using the MakerX MBoards DV4S ESC with a Bluetooth module.

My current setup:

• Successfully tested sending PPM signals from a Raspberry Pi directly to each ESC

• Now trying to:

  1. Send commands over Bluetooth

  2. Separate the commands

  3. Send appropriate commands to each motor over the CAN bus

From my research, forum posts from about a year ago suggest this isn't possible without custom Lisp/QML programming. Has anyone found a solution since then, or can point me in the right direction?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
