@DeathCookies Oh ok, seeing @Maxid posts I somehow thought it is possible to access @Ackmaniac vesc monitor app’s data outside of app/video, too.
Ok so I know there is 3 different vesc monitor apps available.
Evoheyax’s one which is available for iphone.
Then there is metr.at app, which might be called somewhat commercial by now.
And in this topic - Ackmaniac’s one.
I also know that metr.at app lost some credibility due to some incentives to perhaps sniff out info but I will leave this out here.
So far I know that evoheyax was mentioning the possibility to upload data over wifi or such and metr.at already offers to view data (without video) on the website.
So if you Ackmaniac could offer a simar feature - to view data without the video, that would be great!
I know you / he is probably working a lot also on other projects but it would be something nice to have without buying the special BT module to access metr.at
I still got some reading to do, so sorry If I have taken something by mistake
If anybody wants to program the webpage to upload the data then i would be happy to work with you. Otherwise this has to wait until i can find the time. But anyway, i think the videos are more helpful because you have the sound and see what is happening.
@Ackmaniac Here is another video of your very nice app. I have a 10s3p setup with dual 190kv motors and 83mm wheels and a 16/36 ratio. I set 3 modes:Beginner, Medium and Ludacris and I just love the easyness of changing modes and adjusting the riding experience. In my Ludacris setup I have 1700 Watt max, 70a motor max, 50a battery max, -40 motor min, -6a batt min.
After I drove some minutes the max power showed 2954 Watt. Should I set my max Watt in my Ludacris mode to that to get the most power out of my setup?
That is a point I talked about with a friend who is web designer. But the dev of VESC monitor (Solarturtle) wasn’t so active to improve/debug its app so we were afraid to work for nothing.
But I’ll check with him how difficult is to build a database and the website.
@gaetjen can You try The following? Maybe it is only a Bug for me and is working for you
First time i got asked for a Name of the Bluetooth Chip. I just called it test for testing purpose
Now i want to rename my chip but it does Not work… When i have changed The Name and leave The text Input it does Not save the New Name…even after if i have uninstalled The App, deleted The folder on my Smartphone and installed it again The Name of the Bluetooth Module stays The same “test”…
Very nice video. But let me give you a view tips. You are overstressing your batterys a bit. Because you have a 10S3P battery (i guess samsung R25 cells) and set your battery max limit to 50A each VESC. but the battery is only rated to 20A continuous. For a 3P setup that means 60A.
That means you allow a total max amp draw of 100 Amps for the Battery. You can do that but it is a bit much. And what is the value for your your Voltage Cutoff start and end. Because i think it is a bit too high (reduces power too early).
So i recommend to set the cutoff start to 30A and cutoff end to 28A. And then the best would be to set your battery max to 30A for each VESC or if you want a bit more power to 40A.
Just to give a little update.
I am working currently on new Features which will be available soon.
- Full Nunchuk support
So you can connect the Bluetooth module to the slave VESC when you have a dual drive and still change ride modes and the settings.
- Power output limit visualization
That should mean if the VESCs output power is limited by the low voltage or the VESCs Temperature you will be able to see it in the app and in the Videos.
- Throttle curve adjustments are possible via the app
Each drive mode can have it’s own throttle curve.
- BLDC-Tool with have help tooltip text for the most parameters
- Visualization of average motor and battery amp draw and average Temperature
And this even in total and in ride time.
Total = it counts it also when the board is not moving. Useful when you want get a feeling how the amps raise the Battery’s temperature.
ride time = it only counts when the board is moving. Useful to know how much amps you draw in average when you are riding.
And i fix the bug with the speed limit in the firmware. So also a new Firmware file will be necessary.
My cutoffvoltage starts at 32V and ends at 28V, but I have a 60A BMS that cuts voltage at 30V. I have LG2 cells, so 60A is correct. Thanks for the tips with the battery max, I’ll try it with 30A then (I have a Vedder-switch as well with a 40A fuse).
What about my Max Watt? Should I leave it at 1700 watt?
Now i want to rename my chip but it does Not work… When i have changed The Name and leave The text Input it does Not save the New Name…even after if i have uninstalled The App, deleted The folder on my Smartphone and installed it again The Name of the Bluetooth Module stays The same “test”…
