From the project
The KiCad project for the PCB that is used as ECU for the Wolley Wheel and Fan modules.
This is the KiCad project for the PCB that is used as ECU for the Wolley Wheel and Fan modules.
It's a circular PCB that a brushed DC motor can be directly mounted on to be controlled by the driver and MCU onboard through CAN.
- Mabuchi RS-385PV-2465 - Mabuchi RS-365
Version 1.4: - Replaced the 4-pin connector with the new 5-pin connector. - Removed the battery power connector.
