Provide Dronecode Autopilot Connector Standard connectors #1

Open aentinger opened 3 years ago

aentinger commented 3 years ago

The Zubax Orel 20 ESCs and many UAVCAN enabled sensor/actuators utilize the JST GH connectors with a pitch of 1.25 mm.

Zubax Orel 20 Pinout

Pin Signal
1 VCC
2 CAN_H
3 CAN_L
4 GND

Providing 2 such connectors (CAN-IN, CAN-OUT) would allow easy interfacing with other UAVCAN enabled products.

However, there are a couple of open questions on my end and I'm hoping @pavel-kirienko can provide some clarity here. Internet documentation on the Dronecode Autopilot Connector Standard is both scarce and contradictory. It seems that the proposed standard has 6 pins, but I'm not sure on the exact pin-out. The Zubax Orel 20 ESCs have a 4-Pin connector. Why this discrepancy? What kind of pinout can we expect to be more widely adopted in the future?

Per the Dronecode Autopilot Connector Standard, the CAN connector has 4 pins as you wrote. This is also confirmed in the recently published DS-015 standard. 6-pin CAN connectors have never been defined by Dronecode.

Hi @pavel-kirienko and @aentinger Thank you for your input. I will add Dronecode CAN connectors. The spec is well defined and I think I know what to do.

It was this post, that got me confused. Plus a lot of dead / unhelpful links that come up at the very top when googling, e.g. Link, Link, Link.

Thanks for clarification @pavel-kirienko though :heart:
