Does PX4 support brushed motor controllers, as in “Brushed with Relay” for directional control. My requirement is to use a drive motor back and forth and a another DC motor for steering. (Planning to use wheel encoders for both motors) as well. Help me out please
I would think that PX4 supports whatever interfaces with PWM (or DSHot). Whether the controller itself is brushed or brushless shouldn’t matter.
In terms of direction - so the ability to go backwards - this was long a tricky thing but I would hope it’s solved by now, maybe @Jaeyoung-Lim can chime in.
@Christian_Friedrich Is our new resident expert on Rover, in particular for PX4 v1.16 and later.
If you’re using an earlier version all bets are off - you should upgrade.
@Christian_Friedrich will you be able to guide regarding or provide a reference for the task please

That’s not how it works. Start by reading the documentation Rovers | PX4 Guide (main)
