Some New Questions #8

Closed etempm closed 2 years ago

Hi again,

I am planing to build wheel with rs997 motor (more bigger one) and bts7960 as I said before. Here I have some questions about build.

1) Is it possible to use AS5600 magnetic encoder (4000ppr) with firmware. It is cheap and more resolution (12bit) 2) Is it possible to use loadcell for brake and throttle pedal together 3) Because of big motor, it will be nice to read currents from BTS. Is there a support in firmware about this

Thanks you again.

Hi man, here are the answers:

  1. the firmware does not support it and I do not plan to implement it any time soon, but if there is enough interest I may do it
  2. yes, but I do not plan to implement that in the firmware, you can try configuring a combined gas/brake axis in the game
  3. there is no need to waste main MCU time for this, it's not as simple task as you think - one would need to send back and forth additional data over the serial port and slow down the entire loop, you can just use a separate arduino, read the voltages, convert to units of amps and display it on some LCD
