JumpMaster Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi, I've built an app for my KingSong so I can get a dashboard on my Pebble watch. Could someone test if it works on a Gotway please? I'm curious if this line of code is what stops the standard KingSong Android app from working with Gotway Wheels.https://github.com/JumpMaster/WheelLogAndroid/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/cooper/wheellog/WheelLog.java#L69-L71 Here's version 0.9 (RC1). I'll be publishing it on the Android and Pebble Stores once the last of the bugs are ironed out.https://github.com/JumpMaster/WheelLogAndroid/releases/tag/0.9 Thanks, Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esaj Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Are you sure the characteristics codes are the same for Gotway and King Song when using Bluetooth LE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpMaster Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 I'm not sure at all! Questioning whether my app works with a Gotaway wheel is purely based on known their apps used to be compatible so I'm assuming there's some underlying similarity? I noticed your app yesterday that works with both models. Are Gotaway and Kingson based on the same mainboard/bluetooth module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpMaster Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 I took a quick look at the Gotway app. I can't believe how bad these apps are! The KingSong and Gotway apps are just Google Example apps which is fine, but don't leave it called com.example.bluetooth.le! From looking at the code I wouldn't believe these two are even slightly compatible. The characteristics are only different by 1 character but the data they send and receive from the wheel is completely different. Great work making an app that works with both!

esaj Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 The older mainboards used Bluetooth 2.0 (serial port profile), and apparently the first King Song firmwares were based on reverse-engineered Gotway firmware, that's why they're compatible (there's one very slight difference between the protocols, but nothing major). Bluetooth LE is a different beast... So Wheelemetrics only works for older Gotways (like MSuper 2) and King Songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpMaster Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 So supporting both will not be a bit more difficult but by no means impossible. Even though it's using BLE the commands still seem to be the same, such as sending a b after each command so the user has a verbal confirmation.

Egbert Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 is there any chance to get the app 'wheellog' running on pebble compatible to gw MSuper V2 ? is it technically possible to be compatible to the newer and older bluetooth protokoll ? if not, what would be the effort to build a wheellog app for gw MSuper V2 ?
