DroneCAN Support
Vertiq provides all support documentation on their website, including how to use DroneCAN (previously known as UAVCANv0) to integrate a Vertiq module with a PX4 flight controller. The setup guide explains module configuration (mode, direction, Node ID, ESC Index), hardware setup, flight controller settings (enabling CAN, bitrate, configurations, motor setup test, virtual joysticks), and testing. By providing a step by step process for our customers, Vertiq makes all support protocols simple and efficient. If you ever have any questions about documentation, please email info@vertiq.co.
Vertiq offers DroneCAN as its main communication protocol for all modules except the 23-06 and 23-14 Modules. This protocol is designed for intra-vehicle communication that is built on top of the widely used CAN bus standard. Furthermore, DroneCAN specifies how to transport messages with different purposes and types of payloads between nodes over the bus, say from the flight controller to the motor controller or vice versa.
