Kelly KLS Setup
Section titled “Kelly KLS Setup”The Kelly KLS is a motor controller with BLE connectivity via a custom service.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- Kelly KLS series controller with Bluetooth module
- HM-10 BLE UART Module installed via the 4 pin Serial connector (HM-6, and HM-8 modules will not work on iOS and will be profiled seperately in the future for Android support)
- Controller powered on and within BLE range
Connecting
Section titled “Connecting”- Power on your Kelly controller
- Open Cyclosonics → Setup page
- Tap Discover Input Devices
- Select the Kelly controller from the discovered devices list
- Wait for the connection to establish
Available Telemetry
Section titled “Available Telemetry”| Data | Used By Cyclosonics |
|---|---|
| Throttle position | Primary modulation inputs |
| Battery voltage | Display only |
| Temperature | Display only |
| Motor RPM | Display only |
Each of these fields can be monitored in the Setup page after connecting.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Can’t find the controller: Ensure the Bluetooth module is properly connected to the Kelly controller and the system is powered on, the HM-10 module is installed and the LED on it is illuminated.
- Inconsistent readings: The Kelly controller may have different firmware versions with varying BLE implementations. Contact us if you experience issues.
- Incompatible dongles: Currently, Kelly KLS series controllers are only compatible with Cyclosonics using the HM-10 module. Older modules (HM-6, HM-8) are not compatible due to iOS limitations on Serial over ‘Classic Bluetooth’ and are not supported at this time. Replacing an older module with HM-10 is very easy via the 4 pin serial connector on the Kelly’s wiring harness and is entirely plug and play. HM-10 modules are not available directly from Kelly at this time.
