I’ve been working on getting the DAVEga OS (not the DAVEGA X!) running on an Arduino Nano Every as this Arduino has more memory and a built-in programmer so it is easier to program. I’ve also designed a board to easily connect the Arduino to the display.
The functionality is almost the same as the original DAVEga OS:
trip meter
total meter
watt meter
battery voltage
controller temperature
works with VESC FW v3.48, v3.40 and v5.1
This project is for people that want to make their own screen for a VESC-like controller, but a little bit easier then the DAVEga OS I think. You have to order the board ([JLCPCB](https://jlcpcb.com/) , the Arduino and the screen yourself and solder it together, but that shouldn’t be too hard. It should also fit in the housings that were designed for the DAVEga OS.
You can find the Arduino code here and the files for the hardware here
I also changed the name so that support questions don’t end up with janpom.
Yes, it’s a 2 layer PCB. I payed about 8 euros for 5 boards (min quantity) on JLCPCB. I just uploaded the zip file from the gerber folder and a week later I received the boards.
Thx I probably will not be adding a lot of functionality as I would like to keep it compatible with the original DAVEga OS hardware. The main difference right now is that it’s compatible with vesc firmware 5.1 so I can use it with a Cheap FOCer 2, and it’s easier to make/order.
if you’re not adding any substantial features to keep it as close as possible to the original, what’s the reasoning? Buying and installing a davega is hard?
Because the DAVEga OS doesn’t work with VESC firmware 5. My Cheap Focer 2 for example runs on this so I couldn’t use that. And it should be easier to order/make as well.
I am updating the DAVEga OS, I just forked the project because I don’t have acces to the GitHub of the original project. And also Janpom asked me to change the name so support questions don’t end up with him.
You probably mean the DAVEga X? Because the DAVEga OS doesn’t support firmware 5 and isn’t being maintained any more because Janpom is too busy with the excellent DAVEga X.
