What you are looking at

Tosh Dash has three pages: RIDE, RECORDS and SYSTEM. There are no buttons — you pick the page and the layout from your phone under Settings → Display.

The ride page

The ride page has a status bar and three slots. Out of the box they show speed, a power bar and a battery bar.

Status barConnection dot (green = VESC answers, red = no data) and ride time. Red? Check the wiring
Big numberSlot 1. With SPEED selected, your top speed of this ride appears as MAX underneath.
Power barWatts right now. Amber to the right while driving, cyan to the left while braking (regen). Turns red near full power. The bar spans ±3000 W.
Battery barPack voltage, charge in percent, volts per cell and the cell count.

1 The four wires

TOSH DASHfour wires VESCUART / COMM port 5VGNDTXRX 5VGNDTXRX RedBlack GreenWhite power from the VESC — 5 V only The two data wires cross: TX → RX and RX → TX

5V and GND go straight across. TX and RX cross over. Swapped them? Nothing breaks — swap back.

2 Two settings in VESC Tool

App Settings → GeneralApp to UseUART
App Settings → UARTBaudrate115200

ADC and UART or PPM and UART work as well, if your throttle runs on ADC or PPM.

Then write the app configuration to the VESC. With the wrong baud rate the wiring can be perfect and the display still gets nothing.
