Voyage Systems: Megan and Minnie

Copying from IG post for more context:

We just finished implementing the integration with the Daly BMS units. It will be available for both Megan and Minnie. The setup is as simple as connecting the Megan/Minnie, VESC, and the BMS to the same CAN bus. BMS data can then be viewed in the Metr app or directly on the Megan display.

Just to add, it requires getting the CAN baud rates aligned. Daly BMS communicates at 250K and it can’t be changed. Most VESCs are pre-configured to communicate at 500K but it’s easy to switch to 250K.

Megan/Minnie auto-detects the baud rate so no configuration needed there.

Only thing left is hoping you guys can add a back up settings feature( Old Davega to New Davega) . If not Nbd, I appreciate what’ve done so far and it’ll be fun playing with the new features anyway.

Does Minnie support Super Single (dual parallel) configuration?

Is there something special to support in this configuration? I guess it will still show that you have a dual setup.

Last time I tried with metr it wasn’t working properly, but honestly, I can’t remember what it was doing. I have another build I might stick a Minnie in.

The most useful parts for me still worked though, which is the forwarding the connection to a desktop computer.

Anyone fitted the m9 gps and got it going with race chrono yet?

I’d need to buy one first lol

Little confused here… Will Minnie work with ESCs runnings custom fw like Spintend ubox v2 and MakerX D100s?

Yes. Spintend snd makerX firmware isn’t ‘custom’ as such, it just requires several default values to suit their hardware to be safe.

@janpom Any chance of having a reseller in the US available sometime soon?

Got mine installed, twisted up the CAN cables and heat shrinked it.

MakerX CAN ports unfortunately are only 3 pins

Gross. But I guess it’s better than a fake 5V pin like some ESCs. Notoriously, the TB6

When connecting the canbus between two vescs as @zero_ads has. Would the Minnie be ok to handle if the two escs weren’t turned on simultaneously?

Do 30s?

@janpom ?

There is a risk Minnie will only detect the first ESC. Because detection happens on startup. So you have to be quick and power both of them simultaneously.
