Intro

  • Who

  • 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

  • Where

...

CAN Transceiver Selection

common mode choke plz

Power Decision

LM66100 for RPP

...

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