About
Arduino based remote for VESC with nRF24
Library https://github.com/RollingGecko/VescUartControl required
To the VESC is a message send with joystick information and buttons pressed. VESC handels the message like a message needed for the nunchuk app. For deltails to the nunchuk app on the vesc please refer to:
http://vedder.se/2015/01/vesc-open-source-esc/
The firmware of the VESC must be adapted, so that the UART message can be handled. Pull request is following soon. So far use please my fork:
https://github.com/RollingGecko/bldc.git
Specification
- Remote to VESC over nRF24 Radio
- Reading of X/Y joystick positions and 2 buttons and transmit to vesc
- Vesc is connected over UART to remote Ardunio nano
- All measured values from VESC like input voltage, current etc. is send to remote
- TX is master and RX slave: Sending direction nRF24 from TX to RX. Feedback only over acknowledgement message
Feature List
ToDo
- Remaining Capacity of battery on VESC site not implemented
- Vibration alarm at defined rest capacity state (in defined time intervalls)
- Displaying traveled km over 4 RGB LED
Wish list
Coming soon.
Implementation Example
Based on a Nunchuk and a Arduino nano. Beside that 4 2812 LED for state indication and alert vibrator are implemented. Joystick and buttons are from the original nunchuck.
