Hi all
Does anyone know if its possible for vesc to read more that one input from the controller ?
for example I’m trying to set up an tank style control i need
right stick - forward - brake - reverse
left stick - forward - brake - reverse
my board seems to only have one channel input
(Dual FSESC4.20 Plus(Pro Switch)) ?
ADC1 and ADC2 can be used concurrently out of the box but you can use as many available inputs as you like/have, just need to write an app/code to interpret the input according to your requirements.
For a tank, I'd use two motors and two controllers and select "Current Reverse Center" control type. It provides exactly what you need. from the description:
Current control. The output is off when the input is centered. Input less than center brakes until the motor stops, at which point it it starts in the reverse direction.

So im a bit new to this i seems to have many other ports on the board but what do they all do ?
i don't want to use a Bluetooth control because the range insnt good enough
i can see RX and TX on number 3 can i use these or other ports in any way as a control channel ?
