Goodafternoon,
I have the torqeedo 1003 CL running controlled by an RS485 and an arduino uno.
When slowly ramping up the throttle, it goes into a fail-state where it reduces the current.
I can still go forward and backward - just with very reduced power / speed.
I think my communcitation protocol is incomplete.
Is there a way to check my protocol against the expected communcation.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Antoine
The simplest way to get it working is to replace the arduino uno with an ArduPilot supported H7 flight controller board.
The flash ArduRover firmware on it, and learn to configure and use ArduRover.
Thank you for answering.
Ungrateful as this may sound, my interest is less on the rover and more on the functioning of the engine using an external battery. The engine is fine for my purposes, the external battery far too small and the cost of Torqeedo’s proprietary batteries are - i find - prohibitive. Ardupilot / ArduRover have the knowledge to get these electric motors to run with an external battery. I hope you are willing to share it.
I am not in need of an autopilot and I would rather not use an RC-controller to control the engine - a potentiometer is sufficient. I will look into the H7 flight controller board nonetheless. To be specific: would this board work: the Holybro Kakute H7 FC Flight Controller
I am setting up / triying to set up a VW ID3 6kWh module to connect to the 1003CL and recharge it from solar. This will give me ample range (and other benenfits) when under way.
yes, it will do the job. Or you take a look at the source code for the torqeedo device driver
Thank you again!
My initial reluctance stemmed from the need I perceive to integrate it with something like the CubePilot base station - like the Cube Orange/+. I now think that that is not necessary in this case that I could connect the potentiometer more or less directly to the H7.

Thanx for helping out here!
