generic motor controller: ESP32 + IBT-2 - kannix - 2020-04-17
Ahoi,
I am dreaming of a generic motor controller based on ESP32 microcontroller and IBT-2 BTS7960 based off-shelf Double-H-Bridge.

Have a nice day, Dirk

What is the motivation for the esp32? The pi already has wifi. There are other arm chips more suitable if you wanted brushless.

ESP32 is fully featured. I am thinking of remote control via device's
- wifi (webserver)
- bluetooth
(for those not wanting autopilot, just remote-control)

I am considering that esp32 might be able to actually run pypilot using micropython, but there are a few issues to work out.
