Description

Hello, I am using the ESP32 to control a hoverboard with UART communication. I am using USART 2 because it supports 3.3V. I have a problem where the ESP32 sends data out, and the motor is controlled perfectly, but I can't receive anything from the hoverboard.

After further investigation, I detected that the Tx line (hoverboard side) is very noisy. Has anyone faced this problem before, and how can I correct it?

The yellow signal is the data out from the ESP32, and the blue signal is the data in to the ESP32 (which is very noisy).

Have you checked this https://github.com/EFeru/hoverboard-firmware-hack-FOC/wiki/Variant-USART#toolbox-troubleshooting

Yup i saw it, i changed the config to use the usart3, and i needed to levelshift the Rx line from 5v to 3v3 to be compatible with the esp32

but i needed to know why the usart2 tx line is noisy thank you.

Usart3 is not 5v, it's 5v tolerant. So it will work fine with 3v3. Not sure if I misunderstood you.
