Hello!
I'm studying feasibility for a project. Please forgive me for being new here and not knowing all the things yet.
I'm interested in controlling four Rewinch motors (VESC-based) from a central source. What's the best way to go about this?
FWIW, I'm very familiar with writing stepper control firmware, kinematics. It's not a big deal for me to make a PCB that would connect four bluetooth devices to four ESCs at once. At this point I have no idea how to talk to them, either to send acceleration or to get position data back. I would need both to control the motion profile.
I eagerly await your reply. Thank you!
I think the best way would be using the CAN bus. Connect the four VESCs via CAN-bus and you can control them individually when connecting to one VESC via USB or UART/Bluetooth.
