Quick overview
VESC Tool is an iOS app for managing VESC-compatible electronics from your iPhone. It was created by Jeffrey Friesen and is listed in the Utilities & Tools category as a full-version application. The app communicates with VESC devices over Bluetooth Low Energy, offering on-device access to configuration and control.
Primary controls and tuning
- Create and tweak throttle response curves, adapting how the board reacts to input.
- Adjust braking behavior precisely to match riding style or safety needs.
- Tune motor parameters such as current limits, RPM/voltage settings, and ramping.
These controls are presented through a straightforward, mobile-friendly interface so you can make real-time adjustments while away from a computer.
Additional functions and maintenance
- Record ride logs to review performance, speed, and other telemetry after a session.
- Flash or update VESC firmware directly from your phone when new releases are available.
- Swap between saved ride profiles to instantly change behavior for different conditions.
- Monitor battery charge and overall cell status from the app.
- Modify saved settings and apply changes without reconnecting to a desktop tool.
Connection and usage notes
The app uses BLE to pair with a VESC device; ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone and the VESC is in pairing mode. Typical workflows include loading or saving profiles, performing firmware updates, and exporting ride logs for deeper analysis.
