Why
we want to space ESCs out, have a higher datarate, and less harness complexity
CAN supported ESCs exist but more expensive and not what we have alr, we like what we have right now
DSHOT is already a digital protcol that’s busable
single ended
prone to ground loops and common mode SI
100mil hdrs into pixhawk and from ESC
What
board solders onto the ESCs both DSHOT data pins that has a JST CAN connector to pixhawk
the firmware and hardware will not implement an ESC, we will continue to rely on COTS for this assuming the COTS solution features a standard DSHOT 100mil pitch connection (as the APD ESCs we have right now do)
firmware wise this is a CAN to bidirectional DSHOT adapter.
How:
small STM and a CAN transceiver, may require a little LDO for power, see below for design procedure
When
Starting Early June 2024

copy pixhawk? kinda yea but chosen in discord and no real contest
no need for CANFD imo
common mode choke
need to select

doesnt even include CAN lmao

switched termination
done on ARK board with a low side FET
seems like a bad idea if it gets GND offset, other designs online dont show this, see below

Roughly how will system look? nah no point, see the schematic!!
