• Who

  • EngineerComponent Library, Layout: Meghan Dang

  • ManagerArchitect, Component Selection, Schematic, Reviewer, Schematic: Daniel Puratich

  • Firmware: Derek Tang Nathan Green

  • Advisors: Aidan Bowers, Kevin Li

• Why

  • we want to space ESCs out, have a higher datarate, and less harness complexiycomplexity

  • 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 transcievertransceiver, may require a little LDO for power, see below for design procedure

• When

  • Starting Early June 2024

Diagram explains this board connects to ESC and rest of the system. Other CAN nodes should be implemented similarly. Daniel Puratich is handling this diagram to help set the stage and improve on diagrams from Custom CAN Hub and concepts discussed widely.

Schematic Wise

Most detail is on this board, but kind of describes the system.

Layout Sample

This is a starting place for a simple plane example, but shows how a layout could look with a full CAN architecture. Eventually battery bay could support more CAN and reduce harnessing there, but the battery bay and avionics will be very close to eachother so they’re lower priority than the farther away stuff.

CAN Header Selection

Will follow Pixhawk Electrical Connector Standards .

100mil hdr mount onto it

Micro Selection

some STM

LFSPXO072801 ← possible 8mhz HSE, used on the ark one, seems fine to me

  • copy pixhawk? kinda yea but chosen in discord and no real contest

  • no need for CANFD imo

• common mode choke

  • need to select

• 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

Power Decision

LM66100 for RPP

LDO to power the transciever?

how much capacitance, decent amount, same damping would be nice too lol

https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/TLV75533PDBVR/9356541 for LDO

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