Hi everyone :).

I have developed an Android app that interfaces via BLE with the Varstrom EKD01 display.

The application is an extension of the firmware; it does not replace it. The protocol does not currently allow programming or parameter configuration to be performed.

One of the features I like most, and one of the things that motivated me to develop a custom solution, is the ability to use the phone's sensors to automatically manage the assistance levels (assuming, for example, that the Power assistance mode is being used).

The documentation available in the repository is quite comprehensive, so if anyone would like to give it a try, here is the link.

A couple of important points:

  • it is free to use, with the option to support the project
  • no user data is collected
  • it does not alter the motor's behavior in any way
  • the package signature and application ID are registered under my own Google Play Developer Console account
  • since this is an extension of the firmware, any operational anomalies or malfunctions cannot be attributed to the application itself
GitHub - j4ckp0t85/apex-drive: Apex Drive is the ultimate Android companion application for e-bikes powered by the Tongsheng TSDZ2 Mid-Drive Motor, OSF and Varstrom EKD01 display

P.S. I should also mention that I have a second app in the works, currently under development, which will make use of the display's navigation system (turn-by-turn directions). It is still in the development and testing phase.
 
@j4ckp0t85 is there a way to automatically export the logs after a ride? Or access data without linking to the device? I forgot to go back to the app to get my data after shutting my bike down, but I think this would be a good addition to prevent data loss.

I really like the app though because using the buttons on the EKD01 to change any modes never seems to work for me (eg hybrid / cadence / street / offroad / etc)
