Still working?

Thanks for making this! I'm able to pair to my XR+ but can't read any characteristics except firmware revision (4162) and hardware revision (4213). Is it still possible to make this work?

Hi, I don't remember much about this code, unfortunately, but at some point I updated the firmware on my XR which changed the unlock sequence and I could no longer get this to work. Or maybe that happened when I switched to a Pint? I am not sure. I am surprised the unlock works for you with the XR. My XR is out of commission now, so I have no way to test this code anymore, but if you have a spare moment, the code is super trivial, so you might be able to troubleshoot this with your board. If you're interested in doing that, here's how you'd do it:

• Clone the repository locally
• Open index.html in your browser
• Open index.js in a code editor and place a few debugger statements to the code
• Open browser developer tools so that the debugger statements engage when hit and break execution

This should let you see how far the code gets or doesn't get and what data the board sends or doesn't send.

I think the most likely scenario is that you have a newer firmware version and it uses different UUIDs for the characteristics you don't see with my utility.

To find their new UUIDs you'd need to get a Bluetooth eaverdropped and listen in on the comms between the board and the mobile app to see what the UUIDs are and how the data looks like. This would allow you to update the code to add handling for these new/renamed characteristics.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, that's super helpful as I'd like to get more into BT LE characteristic investigation. Although it looks like OWCE is locked out too, it seems pretty locked down.

Yeah, unfortunately Future Motion are right to repair offenders and that extends to their treatment of the BLE protocol used to communicate between the official app and the Onewheels. It might be that cracking the communication between the app and the newer firmware versions is just too difficult at this point.
