Exploring CAN and I2C interfaces with the Teensy 4.1 microcontroller for enhanced connectivity and functionality
The Teensy 4.1, featuring an ARM Cortex-M7 processor, manages communication over CAN bus and serial interfaces. Motor controllers, including SPARK MAX and Victor SP, handle brushless and brushed DC motors, with SPARK MAX using CAN bus and Victor SP relying on PWM. Sensors like the MPU-6050 for motion tracking, BMP280 for atmospheric pressure and temperature, and HC-SR04 for ultrasonic distance measurement enhance environmental interaction. Communication protocols include I2C for sensor data aggregation and SPI for LCD module communication, ensuring efficient data exchange. WS2812B LEDs provide visual feedback, controlled via PWM, while BOB-12009 modules manage logic level conversion between 3.3V and 5V. An Arduino Nano acts as a supplementary processing unit, communicating serially with the Teensy for expanded functionality.
