Intro
Who
Engineer: Meghan Dang
Manager: Daniel Puratich
Why
we want to space ESCs out, have a higher datarate, and less harness complexiy
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
How:
small STM and a CAN transciever, may require a little LDO for power, see below for design procedure
When
Starting Early June 2024

how this board connects to ESC and system
CAN Header Selection
copy pixhawk for MPN
input and output CAN hdr
ESC Connection Selection
100mil hdr mount onto it
Micro Selection
some STM
CAN Transceiver Selection
copy pixhawk?
common mode choke plz
Power Decision
LDO to power the transciever?
how much capacitance

Roughly how will system look?
