COPIED FROM ELECTRIC-SKATEBOARD.BUILDERS
Hey guys,
By request of @bsancken and others on this fourm, I’ve created a UART Splitter for connecting multiple add-on devices to VESC based motor controllers.
TYPES:
There are two types currenlty in the works. The two way splitter allows 2 devices to share a single UART port of a VESC based ESC. LEDs on the back of the splitter indicate when communication is taking place on any of the 3 UART ports.
1:2 UART Splitter
The three way splitter allows 3 devices to share a single UART port of a VESC based ESC. LEDs on the top of the splitter indicate when communication is taking place on any of the 4 UART ports.
DEMOS:
TESTED DEVICES AND FEATURES:
ESCs:
- FOCbox (FW v3.38 @ 115200 baud)
ADD-ONs:
-
Metr Pro Bluetooth Module
- Basic Telemetry
-
DAVEga Display
- Basic Telemetry
- ESC Motor Settings Info
-
TelTail Lighting System
- Motor Data Plotting
- Reactive Tail Light
There is plenty more testing that needs to be performed before I start selling any but I wanted to start a thread now to share the project with you guys and get your input on a some key aspects of the final product.
