SimpleBGC 32bit Extended Long CAN-IMU Set
BaseCam SimpleBGC 32-bit CAN_MCU
Unlike other BaseCam controllers, SimpleBGC 32-bit «CAN_MCU» controller
has no onboard motor drivers and requires external drivers to build a
gimbal, as shown in this diagram. It is designed primarily to work with the
CAN Driver modules, though «I2C_Drv» drivers are supported, too. It
supports both the CAN_IMU and regular I2C IMU sensors.
The new important function of this controller is an integrated electronic power
switch that could be used as a main power switch for the gimbal*. It allows
to communicate currents up to 30A continuous, providing soft startup
current to charge buffer capacitors in CAN drivers, can be switched ON/OFF
by the external logical input, has overcurrent and Undervoltage protection. It
supports two kinds of buttons: latching switch and momentary push button.
The kit includes:
SimpleBGC 32bit Extended Long main bord – 1 pc
Battery 20 cm wire – 1 pc
Ferrite coils 10-15 mm diameter, 3-5 mm thickness – 3 pcs
Encoder 10 cm wires – 3 pcs
IMU sensor board – 1 pc
IMU 50 cm wire – 1 pc
Header Pin Strip 9P Straight – 1pc
Header Pin Strip 9P Angled – 1pc
Encoder-enabled firmware
* Second I2C IMU is integrated in the board.
Description
SimpleBGC 32-bit Extended Long controller is a modification of our popular version SimpleBGC 32-bit Extended. It provides the same set of capabilities in a different shape:
Built-in Frame IMU
Current sensor to measure battery power consumption
2x CAN ports to connect CAN-enabled periphery like CAN_Driver and CAN IMU
Dedicated 3x ports for encoder connection via SPI or PWM interface
2x I2C ports to connect 2nd IMU or encoders via I2C interface
Built-in sound beeper
Up to 6s LiPo battery is supported
Supports extra features in the firmware that are not available in «Regular» and «Tiny» versions (see «Versions comparision chart» in the «Appendix A» of the User Manual)
Compared to the previous «Extended» version, the new version has some advantages:
A dedicated UART2 port (previously it was shared with the SPI port for encoder connection).
The new «Joystick» port provides 3 analog inputs, +3.3V power supply and the mode button
input
The «Mode» button can be used to enter bootloader mode for a firmware recovery (optional)
