I love the idea of dev bounties, especially crowdsourced dev bounties. Seems like it would be a great way to get some proper dev attention on our niche usecases. I wonder if our community has enough life left to support something like this.

Probably also a great way to end up with a bunch of buggy and un/under-tested code on your vehicle :joy: but that’s the cost of progress I guess.

True.

Bounty for a first draft is now $200 from me. Others are welcome to add to the bounty.

Idk how we split it lol maybe just publish open source with credits to us for funding it

int main() {

for (i=0; i++; size(MotorVels)) {

if (WheelSlip[i] >= SketchFactor) {

Don’t(i); }

else {

LetErRip(i); }

}

My humble submission :folded_hands:

Where do I sent the $200 in pennies

Just fill up one of these whenever you come across them, I’ll get around to collect them eventually.

Very interesting and impressive build.

Im really curious what kind of wh/km did you get and are you ever lacking power?

This is how it works

I will try it with a ppm remote too when i fix my real remote (thnx flipsky :laughing: )

I also tried bldc but i can’t get it to work. Can’t do the motor detection.. Is there a secret?

So your solution has an Arduino between the remote receiver and the ESC? Is it in parallel or in series? Could the system be configured such that a failure of the Arduino of any type does not have any effect on the input from the receiver?

Yes for ppm you have to connect an arduino/esp32 with a vesc and then connect all the vescs with canbus. You can also do split ppm with two arduinos .

No if the arduino stops working for some reason then you will go to neutral . Unless you have two arduinos split ppm and have redundancy :grin: . But i think split ppm is not as safe as canbus.

It is a nice project but as i said traction control is the main goal

Why do you think that split PPM is less safe than over canbus, if you don’t mind me asking?

Can bus systems resist interference through differential signaling
