Open Panzer Scout ESC - Firmware Version History

• Add SetMinumVoltage and SetMaximumVoltage serial functions.

• Correct functionality of manual user override of fan control.

• Updated current sensing code for new VNH5019 motor driver chips.
• NOTE: This version and later firmwares are not compatible with Scout boards prior to Rev 11.

• Break up the sketch into tabs for easier reading.
• Add options to brake motors when stopped, and to "drag" the slower track to try to prevent it from freewheeling faster than desired in certain applications. Both options default to off on boot but can be set by the user via serial commands.
• NOTE: This is the last firmware version compatible with Scout Rev 10 and earlier boards that use VNH2SP30 motor driver chips.

• Changed version to standard nomenclature.

• Fixed bug in serial checksum validation routine.

• Changed serial watchdog command to be compatible with the Sabertooth protocol.
• Added a serial command to allow changing the baud rate also compatible with the Sabertooth protocol, but unlike the Sabertooth the Scout will always boot to a fixed baud of 38400. This makes initial communication with the device easier since you don't have to guess what baud rate it might be set at.
• Enable voltage sensing.

• Overcurrent, overtemp, and over/under voltage fault handing, fan control, expanded serial commands, serial watchdog, and more.

• Added automatic mode detection between Serial and RC
