Interest in supporting BLDC motors? #2

Closed samuk closed 2 years ago

samuk commented 2 years ago

Hi would you be interested in helping adapt this code for BLDC drive motors, whilst keeping the servo steering as it is?

I hope this would give more power/control and improve waterproofing somewhat. The motors we're targeting are these BGM2208's but the drivers should support up to ~5A

The rough idea would be to use 3x Rosmo ESC boards & an ESP32

We could either do Wifi or Ethernet from the Pi <> ESP32. It's all early days and the driver boards and I2C protocol are still under development, but I thought I'd drop you an email to see if it was something that appealed?

It seems pretty interesting. You can send me an email to talk about this.
