Communication Settings

The following settings are related to the communications interfaces available on microDRIVE units.
CAN Bus Enabled
Description
CAN Bus communication enabled on CAN2. ESC will use DroneCAN for control and telemetry. The input of DShot and PWM is disabled. Disabling this setting enables other protocols.
CAN Name
CANBUS_EN
Units
N/A
Advanced
NO
PWM Jitter Filter
Description
Set the sample depth of the PWM Median Filter.
CAN Name
PWM_JITTER_EN
Units
N/A
Advanced
YES
Value Mappings:
0 -> No Filtering
1 -> 3 Sample Median
2 -> 5 Sample Median
3 -> 7 Sample Median
4 -> 9 Sample Median
Require Zero Throttle
Description
Toggle option to automatically disable the zero throttle setpoint requirement upon signal loss and re-establishment. When enabled, the ESC requires a 0% throttle signal to re-arm after signal loss. The start-up will require a 0% throttle signal regardless of this setting. This setting will only be taken into account when utilising CAN Bus signalling.
CAN Name
REQ_ZERO_THR
Units
N/A
Advanced
NO
Reversible Dead Zone
Description
Define the width of zero throttle (%) when operating inside the reversible drive mode. Scales between minimum and maximum endpoints.
CAN Name
RVRS_DEAD_ZNE
Units
N/A
Advanced
YES
Signal Baud Rate
Description
The specific protocol rate can be selected when serial signalling and the DShot protocol are utilised. Other rates will be ignored.
CAN Name
SIG_BAUD
Units
N/A
Advanced
YES
Value Mappings:
0 -> Auto
1 -> DShot150
2 -> DShot300
3 -> DShot600
Signal Type
Description
The specific serial protocol to accept when the unit is configured in non-CAN mode. Other protocols will be ignored.
CAN Name
SIG_TYPE
Units
N/A
Advanced
NO
Value Mappings:
0 -> Auto
1 -> PWM
2 -> DShot
3 -> BiDirectional DShot
Throttle End Point Max
Description
Maximum input pulse width when operating within PWM signalling.
CAN Name
THR_MAX_PWM
Units
N/A
Advanced
YES
Throttle End Point Min
Description
Lower endpoint to scale throttle when operating PWM input. It should be lower than the Maximum Endpoint.
CAN Name
THR_MIN_PWM
Units
N/A
Advanced
YES
