uSplit - UART Splitter for VESC-based ESCs

Splart FTW!

Yo yo, you got some unanswered questions in your DM

Ricco · July 17, 2019, 11:33pm

They’re now answered

Beta testing is now underway

There are currently 6 testers with the splitter in hand. Because shipping to Europe is expensive, there are 2 more testers waiting for any other European testers to join. This would bring down shipping cost.

If anyone is interested in becoming a beta tester, please PM me.

I’m in the states if you need another US based tester. Just found out recently that I’m desperately in need of one of these. I use a uart based remote (OSRR) and a DAVega prototype. But I’d also like to log with my metr module too. Which is impossible at the moment. Ugh…

Is that enough griptape, to hold you in place?

SeanHacker · July 24, 2019, 6:21pm

I could skate barefoot with no grip tape if I wanted to.

Once my build is (re)done I’m putting this bad boy in there. I’m only gonna need you to hurry up on them ttl so you can take my money

Tell that @klaus79856 in two weeks. He found, that the griptape surface is too small.

Thank you to all who voted

Who the hell chose uSplit over Splart? Impossibru!

Flasher · July 28, 2019, 9:43pm

From a marketing point I feel usplit will be easier to say in multiple accented languages

Ace · July 30, 2019, 2:16am

Funny. I almost bought a DAVEga yesterday. Someone beat me too it any of your ttl betas doubling the beta program?

Ricco · July 30, 2019, 3:06am

I would definitely recommend getting a DAVEga, its a really cool addition to any build. You could still get one from flipsky. They actually share part of each sale with @janpom. Or if you can wait, a larger DAVEga is in the works right now. That might be a better fit for you build.

As for the testers, 4 of the TTL testers are also testing the splitter

Flasher · July 30, 2019, 3:34am

@Ricco So out of 6 testers only me and another guy have been left out of the ttl loop? Dammit

Flasher · July 30, 2019, 3:37am

@Ricco This beauty is just screaming “where’s my buddy TTL?”

Ace · July 30, 2019, 3:41am

@Ricco might as well add one on my ttl then. I’ve been drooling over the DAVEga for a while. … actually. You should build it into my ttl and make it a single unit. Better for marketing the ttl later.

Ricco · July 30, 2019, 4:40pm

@Ace Will do. What splitter do you want? 2 or 3 way? Adding the splitter functionally to the TTL control module is a great idea! Hopefully there is room for a second UART port and space in memory for the code. I’ll add it to the list of updates I want to look into for the next rev of the TTL control module.

@Flasher, sorry but I have to draw the line somewhere. If it makes you feel better, there are actually 9 uSplit testers right now, 5 of which aren’t testing the TTL system so your in the majority I see that your lights are addressable strips. Those wouldn’t work with the TTL system atm since it can only control analog strips. I have the analog to digital adapter designed but not coded, so what if I give you a shout when I do get around to implementing the code. I’ll definitely need people to test that out.

Ace · July 30, 2019, 8:14pm

@Ricco I’m prolly going for a Davega before the meter pro since the ttl already has blue tooth capability. So just a two way splitter for now

Flasher · July 30, 2019, 8:21pm

Sure thing. In the meanwhile I’ll be keeping tabs with @Ace as we apparently have similar needs in current
