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 |
