Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0 not getting data about elmduino HOT 7 CLOSED

This Scanner has 2 Bluetooth Connections/Modules "Android-Vlink" and "IOS-Vlink". Only the last one uses BLE. Just bought one because of this to try it an maybe tinkering with BLE later.

Anyone used one of these before, successfully ?

The library does not support BLE scanners - not even sure how you got this far with your device. Perhaps try increasing the timeout value to an insane value like 10 seconds or so

@themagicm this looks like an issue I've encountered and am working through today. The quick and dirty fix is that given by @PowerBroker2 - bump up the timeout - I'm using 20 sec. and that works although you may not get data on your first query.

The more robust fix is to modify the initializeELM() method to complete the protocol search when using AUTO protocol value. My fix looks like this:

if ((String)protocol == "0")
{ //Auto search for protocol
	sprintf(command, TRY_PROT_H_AUTO_SEARCH, protocol); 
	if (sendCommand_Blocking(command) == ELM_SUCCESS)
	{ // Now we need to send OBD command to initiate protocol search
		if (sendCommand_Blocking("0100") == ELM_SUCCESS) 
		{// Not using the return value currently, but it gives a list of supported PIDs
		        connected = true;
			return connected;
		}
	}
}
else 
{
// set protocol
}
