Vesc integration with ROS

Inspiration

Original micro controller on the brushless motor was Chinese garbage that didn't even have a reverse functionality.

What it does

We can control the specific parameters of the brushless motors; such as brake, curent, duty cycle, position, speed, and position.

How I built it

Soldering iron, wires, XT60 connectors, MIT's racecar ROS package.

Challenges I ran into

Challenges using right port for VESC, general bugs to get package to work with our setup.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

that it just works.

What I learned

not catch a fallng soldering iron

What's next for Ebike

Integrate it with a multiude of sensors for so that we can use sensor fusion for navigation.
