Metr Pro connection?

[rpasichnyk]

You mean live tracking / location sharing? For that you need new hardware, Metr LTE, which we haven’t released yet. It will be compatible and plug in easily into Metr Pro CAN

Ahh! Looks like I got ahead of myself, looking forward to it!

Are you using 5V from CAN connector? Stormcore has an issue where 5V drops as soon as you start drawing some current from it. Unfortunately because of this design issue you need to take 5V from another place.

@Kalitapaws Actually the voltage drop should be in a still acceptable range for the Metr Pro CAN because it draws little current compared to other devices. It worked fine with my Stormcore. But as Roman said it is better to use a “real” 5V source and not something that is dropped to 4.7V or less when some current is drawn.

@Linesflag

Well I’d need at least 2 pc.

In which ones are you interested, the one you can add three additional CAN devices (+ the main VESC) or the one with six?

[Linesflag]

The one with 3 additional devices.

[Kalitapaws]

Might be possible that a regular 60d might not be able to handle it?

Maybe it’s a little bit random. Just remembered Bioboards had exactly the same issue with Stormcore 60D that they have in Plutonium. After we swapped 5v from Stormcore to FlexiBMS, it started to work properly.

[Kalitapaws]

Still waiting on my flexi. It’s been sitting in USA customs since February.

a regular 60d

Its interesting that its an 60D and Bioboards problem was also with a 60D. The Stormcore I tested with and that is working is a 100D.
@Deodand @Blasto Is there a difference on the “5V” CAN port connection of the 100D, 60D and 60D+?
