|
||
### VESC Native CAN (standard VESC protocol)
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
| Frame type | CAN ID formula | Notes |
|
||
|------------|---------------|-------|

|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 6. RC Channel Mapping
|
||
|
||
### Primary: TBS Crossfire (UART0 on ESP32-IO, CRSF @ 420000 baud)
|
||
|
||
| Channel | Function | Range | Notes |
|
||
|---------|----------|-------|-------|
|
||
| CH1 | Roll / Steer | 1000–2000 µs | Left stick X (mode 2) |
|
||
| CH2 | Pitch / Speed | 1000–2000 µs | Left stick Y |
|
||
| CH3 | Throttle | 1000–2000 µs | Right stick Y |
|
||
| CH4 | Yaw | 1000–2000 µs | Right stick X |
|
||
| CH5 | Arm | 1000 / 2000 µs | 2-pos switch — <1200=DISARM, >1800=ARM |
|
||
| CH6 | Drive mode | 1000/1500/2000 µs | 3-pos: RC / Assisted / Autonomous |
|
||
| CH7 | Speed limit | 1000–2000 µs | Analog knob, scales max speed |
|
||
| CH8 | Aux / Horn | 1000 / 2000 µs | Momentary for horn; held = klaxon |
|
||
|
||
### Failover: ELRS (UART2 on ESP32-IO, CRSF @ 420000 baud)
|
||
Same channel mapping as TBS Crossfire. IO board switches to ELRS automatically if Crossfire link lost for > 300 ms.
|
||
|
||
### Failsafe
|
||
- **RC lost > 300 ms**: motors stop, DISARM state, wait for link restoration
|
||
- **Arm switch** must be cycled to DISARM→ARM to re-arm after failsafe
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 7. Serial Commands (Orin → ESP32-S3 BALANCE via CAN 0x300)
|
||
|
||
All high-level commands from the Orin go over CAN. The BALANCE board also accepts direct USB-serial commands on its CH343 port for bench debugging:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
# Arm / disarm
|
||
ARM
|
||
DISARM
|
||
|
||
# Set drive (speed -1000..1000, steer -1000..1000)
|
||
DRIVE <speed> <steer>
|
||
|
||
# Set mode
|
||
MODE RC # full RC passthrough
|
||
MODE ASSISTED # Orin sends velocity, BALANCE does stability
|
||
MODE AUTO # full autonomous (Orin CAN commands only)
|
||
|
||
# PID update
|
||
PID <kp> <ki> <kd>
|
||
|
||
# Emergency stop (same as CAN 0x303)
|
||
ESTOP
|
||
|
||
# Status query
|
||
STATUS # returns JSON telemetry line
|
||
|
||
# IMU calibration
|
||
IMU CAL
|

## 11. Safety Systems
|
||
|
||
| System | Trigger | Action |
|
||
|--------|---------|--------|
|
||
| **HW kill switch** | Big red button (NC inline with 36V) | Cuts all power instantly |
|
||
| **Tilt cutoff** | `|pitch| > 25°` | Motors off → DISARM, manual re-arm required |
|
||
| **RC failsafe** | No RC frame > 300 ms | Motors off → DISARM |
|
||
| **CAN watchdog** | No Orin heartbeat > 500 ms | Drop to RC-only mode |
|
||
| **ESTOP CAN** | CAN frame 0x303 (magic 0xE5) | Immediate motor off, DISARM |
|
||
| **ESTOP inter-board** | Type 0xFF heartbeat missing > 200 ms | IO board stops BTS7960 enables |
|
||
| **Startup arming** | Cold power-on | Motors NEVER spin; need deliberate ARM |
