RaccoonLab CAN-PWM NODE Converter
The basic tool to control PWM ESC and servo by Cyphal/CAN interface
- RaccoonLab NODE is designed as an adapter for controlling servos and ESCs with a PWM interface.
- It receives setpoint messages from the Cyphal/CAN bus (DroneCAN is supported as well for the benefit of legacy applications; however, it is not recommended for new designs) and maps them into typical servos and ESC controllers' PWM signals.
- Node supports Cyphal interface (DroneCAN is supported as well for the benefit of legacy applications; however, it is not recommended for new designs).
- Compatible with PX4 and Ardupilot-based autopilots.
