Ant-bms is compatible? ANT-BLE16S device name

[rdaguerre]

Hi, I've been looking for information on ant-bms for a long time. I am needing to use the BLE to use with the micropython and esp32. The only thing I could get so far is to use the command 0xdbdb00000000 and send me 20bytes in response. In other ble app i can read few more bytes. Could you tell me if these commands work here? Because I tried a couple of status from here and I don't get any notification. Greetings and I hope someone knows. Greetings

Sorry, I have no idea. But I will leave this issue open and hopefully someone will answer you.

@rdaguerre I'm trying to work it out myself with ESP32 and BLE. As far as I understand, you subscribe to the service and then write {0xDB, 0xDB, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}. You will get in the callback a series of bytes, it looks like this:

18:40:52.317 -> data: 0xAA 55 AA FF 02 DC 0E 4F 0E 52 0E 4F 0E 50 0E 50 0E 53 0E 4F Notify callback for characteristic 0000ffe1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb of data length 20

I'm now trying to unpack this and understand how it work, but I think you just need to add them all together. It just sends 7 notifications 20 bytes each so it's 140 bytes together.

Look here: user manual.zip
There is a good, complete description.
With this it should be possible to decode it.
Next to the BMS user manual there is a subfolder with the communication protocols.
