CAN device support
-
Is VOXL 2 eventually going to support CAN connections in the future (e.g. with a breakout board), or is that simply not a connection type that's going to be supported?
We use a number of CAN devices with VOXL Flight / Core and it's been holding us back from adopting VOXL 2. Figured it was worth asking!

@Ansel-Misfeldt Hi,
The approach we will take for CANBUS right now is similar to what we have. That is, to add CANBUS, it requires the use of a FlightCore Flight Controller. So, with Voxl1, you have Voxl-Flight which integrates the FlightCore, or you add on Flight Core independantly.
For Voxl2, you can still use a FlightCore, but we have some exciting news coming soon for a newer improved FlightCore, we will likely call it FlightCore V2
It will retain CANBUS functionality but has a slew of other upgrades and user improvements added in, all in the same form-factor as FCv1.
Our Docs portal is just about ready for launch and I think we did a better job up-front on this one to help our customers get running quickly.Stay tuned, we should be posting it for sale in the up-coming days!!

Vinny,
I would also like to move to the Voxl2 platform but need CAN support as most of our sensors are based on that. Any update on FlightCore V2? Thanks!

Is there an update on availability for the new FlightCore?
-
@Chad-Sweet is there an update on the FC V2? At least access to documentation for now if the product is still in the process of being finalized. I need to make my decision soon on Skynode v. Voxl2. Thank you!

Hi @liftedsystems
I just saw this now.. sorry for our delays on this...
We respond better when you start a new thread because we ALL get notified of it internally ... Thread replies are on a "best effort" basis to check so we miss some.... but if you wish to do so, please just tag us using the "@" like you did to get Chad and we will see that at a higher level too, but new threads are always the best!
Thanks, and I hope Travis gave you the info you were hoping for!! -
