Help with Max488

Hello, Please tell me what I am doing wrong here? I am running 2 mega boards using easy transfer lib to send control signals from the top side mega to the mega onboard the rov to control 6x bts7960 drivers for the bilge pumps. Likewise the mega on the rov sends back sensor data to the top side mega....

Re: Arduino Code with H Bridges and Bilge Pumps

Here's an update on the progress made by me so far. Now I have 2 megas, one each on the top side and rov, in addition the rov also has a nano specifically to handle the 2 servos for the camera tilt & pan. I now have 6x ibt2 drivers for the 6 bilge motors and a self assembled 4s9p li-ion pack on ...

Re: Arduino Code with H Bridges and Bilge Pumps

Hello, I have been working on a similar rov project with an Uno on the top side and Mega onboard the rov with a master slave system. I am using 6x 1100gph bilge pump motors along with that many BTS7960 drivers. I am using half duplex through over RS485 to communicate between the arduino boards over ...
