MT6816CT encoder breakout for vesc

Operates in 3 wire mode, may need to program encoder to get it to work.

Currently vesc only supports 4 wire for MT6816CT.

Todo:

  • Add 3 wire transfer support to vesc
  • Find out if sensotr needs programming to work in 3 wire mode
    • I can probably blindly write to sensor on startup to put into 3 wire mode. Since MOSI pin connected.
  • Add bom with part links
  • add pictures
    • KiCad renders
    • top/bottom of board
    • 4 connector configurtations
    • mounted to motor
  • add 3d printed mount/standoff stl/cad
  • add connecting cable bom / pics
    • 6 pair wire source, jst gh/ph crimps/housings,
    • temp sensors & 2 pin crimp/housings

Made with KiCad nightly: Version: (5.99.0-11535-gf6cac49802)

Questions

What parts does the MT6816CT encoder breakout use?

12 parts, built around the MT6816CT-AKD and SD05-01FTG. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the MT6816CT encoder breakout KiCad files?

From the Teslafly/MT6816CT-encoder-breakout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is MT6816CT encoder breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic MT6816CT encoder breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the MT6816CT encoder breakout design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Teslafly before reusing the design.
