FreeSK8 Robogotchi/GPS Module

That was quick! Looks good to me too. Not sure these are pinpointed in the graphs, this is the one of the mainstays of log analysis- finding out what happened leading up to a fault.

Without the FreeSK8 core, I donā€™t see a way to use both the Robogotchi and Davega, as both need the UART on the Unity, correct.?

The unity had a second uart internally for Bluetooth or metr modules. You might be able to use that

Oh shit, I hadnā€™t even thought of that. All weā€™d need is an adapter for it.

ON IT!

I was wondering when someone smarter than me with that type of stuff would make one of thoseā€¦

Oh OK, thanks. And for the TB6s I have coming, I can just use the uart port on one of them for davega and the other for Robogotchi. So no, outside-the-box-smart-person-thinking required.

It seems like a good time to mention we are going to have a pretty nice update coming shortly!

A decent amount of work was applied to reduce the sync time over Bluetooth. Recent testing is showing sync time reduced by 65-70%

The weather is finally looking promising so I can get a little more testing in before calling it ready for the beta group.

I also started planning new melodies that are short and can be easily described. Once those are coded we can make another demonstration video and see what everyone thinks.

Iā€™m stuckā€¦ I connected everything for the first time, the app told me to update the fw to 0.6.0:

so I followed the directions on using the nRF app and everything was successful. After going back to the app I get this message every time I try to connect the BT:

What did I do wrong and how do I fix it? I donā€™t see any reference to FW5 for next steps and troubleshooting.

I think you need to update your firmware to 5.1.

Which FW Version are you currently on with your Unity?

The original/forked firmware is considered unstable/EOL.

OK, I didnā€™t realize the FreeSK8 message was asking about ESC fw, and assumed it was for the Robogotchi fw.

I havenā€™t had to doing anything with Unity fw since it has been working after I configured it out of the box over a year ago.

Fw says 23.46

Can someone please point me to where I can learn about and update to fw5?

Iā€™m not on Unity, but Iā€™ll try to find out. People are definitely running it.

Thanks, Iā€™ll start reading up on it today.

Consulted @Linny. Okay, if you download the very latest vesc_tool, it will read that itā€™s a Unity and give you the proper firmware option.

So, use another vesc app instead of the Unity FOCBOX app? Which one, have a link @Linny?
