Multiple m0138 ESCs connected to a computer.
-
Hi
I was checking on if it is possible to connect multiple m0138 escs to a computer for bench testing? If yes how would you approach it as a plug and play method would lead to id collisions between the ESCs.
Thanks@sjt277 ,
The simplest approach is to use a separate USB-to-serial adapter for each ESC.
You can set up udev rules to map and distinguish the specific usb-to-serial adapters (using their unique serial numbers) to aliases in
/dev/, such as/dev/esc0,/dev/esc1, etc.Then run your testing using different USB devices to access each ESC (i am assuming you are using
voxl-esctools?).For example, here is some relevant information: https://askubuntu.com/questions/49910/how-to-distinguish-between-identical-usb-to-serial-adapters
Does that help?
