The TRAXXAS steering servo is wired to the VESC servo cable. The BLDC Tool application is in the ~/bldc-tool directory.Ī USB cable communicates motor speed and steering angle information between the Jetson and the VESC. The VESC firmware and RACECAR motor configuration files are downloaded from the Github RACECAR/J vesc-firmware repository.
#CONNECTING ENERTION REMOTE TO VESC BLDC TOOL INSTALL#
This will install prerequisites for the building, build the bldc-tool from source code, and download the VESC firmware and RACECAR/J motor configuration files. The RACECAR/J account on Github contains a repository named installBLDCTool. To build on a Linux x86 machine (like the one used to flash the Jetson), use the installBLDCToolHost.sh script
#CONNECTING ENERTION REMOTE TO VESC BLDC TOOL HOW TO#
This article covers how to install a cdc-acm module for the Jetson if you have not already installed one.
#CONNECTING ENERTION REMOTE TO VESC BLDC TOOL DRIVER#
Before we can run RACECAR/J, we need to program the electronic speed controller, called a VESC, for the motor and steering.
