VESC canbus controll from Freewheel steering wheel.
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Hi
We have a boat that have 2 x electric motor mounted in the rear of a boat driven by VESC motor controllers. We want to control it from knobs on the steering wheel by canbus communication. I have attached the Canbus protocol of the steering wheel and how the buttons is going to Control the motors. So we need a custom firmware for the VESC.
On this steeringwheel, we have foreseen the following switches/buttons:
Pos. 3 = 2 position-switch for the on/off switching of the VESC motor controllers
Pos. 4 = 8 position-knob for the speed regulation (both motors). It gives 8 – set speed settings
Pos. 5L = = 3 position-switches (momentary) : forward – neutral – reverse for left motor
Pos. 5R = 3 position-switches (momentary) : forward – neutral – reverse for right motor
Pos. 7 = 2 position-switch turn on the motors, accordantly to the speed and forward-neutral-revers
Regards
Markus
