Quick summary: Float Control for VESC-powered boards
Float Control (VESC Companion) is an iPhone app created by Davorin Mista that connects to VESC-based electric skateboards over Bluetooth. It provides live telemetry so riders can keep an eye on their board’s condition and performance while riding.
Telemetry and what you can monitor
Float Control displays a range of ride statistics in real time, including:
- Speed and ride pace
- Current draw (amps) and power usage
- Battery voltage and state information
- Motor/ESC temperature and RPM where available
These metrics are presented for quick reference while you ride, helping you spot issues or optimize performance.
Hands-free features and wearable support
The app includes convenient ways to consume data without taking out your phone:
- Spoken summaries that can announce ride information
- Apple Watch integration to view key stats on your wrist
These options make it simpler to get updates during a ride without interrupting your balance or focus.
Who should use this app and when
Designed primarily for balance vehicles and esk8 enthusiasts, Float Control is most useful after your board is already set up and running well. Important note:
- It is not a substitute for the VESC App when you need to perform initial configuration or advanced tuning. Use Float Control as a monitoring companion rather than a setup tool.
Benefits at a glance
- Real-time monitoring to keep tabs on ride health
- Wearable and voice options for hands-free access
- Focused specifically on VESC-based skateboard telemetry
Alternative to consider
If you want to try something else, one listed paid option is Little Kitten (appears under the title “My Favorite Cat”). It may offer a different feature set or user experience worth comparing.
If you want a simple, reliable companion to watch your board’s stats while riding, Float Control is a practical option to evaluate.
