Hi everyone,
I built (with help from this forum, thank you for that!) an app specifically for a Sondors Metacycle (now bankrupt/discontinued). The motorcycle uses a Votol EM200 2SP (CAN bus).
It uses a CAN - BT bridge based on an ESP32 (in the form of a USB dongle with +5V, GND, and 2 CAN bus wires)
You can see the Hardware/Software for the dongle here:
github.com

You can see the current (metacycle specific) iOS app here:
apps.apple.com
(Android app with similar functionality is in the process of being published on the Play Store)
Dongle video here.
Please see the app manual here for an explanation of that this device can do when combined with the phone app. Also a few videos of the iOS app can be found here, here and here.
From what I can gather, this should work for a whole series of Votol controllers, like
EM50-4P
EM80GTSP
EM100-4P
EM150-2SP
EM200-2P
EM260P
I got a Ryvid electric motorcycle with the same Votol controller and planning to make the apps work with that one too.
Trying to figure out if there is any interest in making this app work with ALL Votol controllers above.
The initial thought here was to expose a LIMITED set of controller parameters that is more user friendly than the AWFUL Windows Votol Application and allow quick modification of most common parameters while riding, so to evaluate the changes in handling immediately.
Thanks again for all the great information, looking forward to some feedback from the very knowledgeable people in this forum.
