DroneCan connection

I wish to put all my 4 motors thru dronecan protocol. How I should put al 4 ESC to one CAN1 ? Is there any fuse or something to make from esc to dronecan ? connector or something? or I just need brake wires and put by my self? motors is not small. It supports DroneCAN and etc. and I heard i can control them thru droneCAN, im right?

Yes it can. You need a CAN splitter board to easily connect them all to CAN1.

Goggle a bit and you will find such boards:

ArduPilot CAN splitter

So its like CANHUB or something, to put 4 cans to one, it comes with pixhawk tbh, but i wondering, how to make without touching wires, like esc comming in different type of connection than can1 port, there is anything i can do or i need manually connect them ?

Without touching the wires you can not connect them.

Connecting manually also requires touching the wires.

Please explain yourself better to not waist time.

think wiser holy moly. i need soldier wires or just plug and play… Look at context not in single words. my english is limited.

The spliter board looks like this:

It’s fully plug-and-play no soder required.

Yes but other end. ESC to CAN adapter, I need make it by my self, or i can buy it?

If the ESC has a JST-GH 4pin(SM04B-GHS-TB) plug, just connect it.

If not, you need to manually make an adapter cable from whatever plug/cable the ESC has to JST-GH 4pin.

Are you looking for something like this?

No, he does not need/want that. That is a AP_Periph for ESCs that do not support DroneCAN.

On the first post @Tautvydas_Maciokas said the ESC supports DroneCAN protocol.

I missed that. Saw the comment that said

and took it in the wrong direction.

It is T motor A12XL-14S, in my research its supporting, it comes with

so I need make my self adapter to JST-GH 4pin how i understand right?

You need to check TMotor documentation or ask them, to me that looks like pulse per (electrical) revolution output.
