MK8-LCM is a multi-function VESC-EXPRESS module which fits directly on top of the MK8 & MK8-PRO.
Description:
Integrated buck converter, 50V to 150V input
3 x LED outputs (up to 3A@5V or 3A@12V, ~36W max. power output)
2 x Isolated CAN bus
Logic shift 3.3V->5V for lighting signals
USB-C, ISOSPI, I2C/UART, Bluetooth, WiFi
Hibernation current: less than 35uA
Options:
Built-in or external antenna
5V or 12V outputs (resistor swap for selecting voltage level for each LED output)
How to use:
Mount onto the MK8 or MK8-PRO top opening with 4 x M2 screws
Plug the JST XH power input
Link CAN bus with VESC
Turn VESC ON (MK8-LCM requires VESC ON to operates)
Configure over USB or Bluetooth with VESC-Tool
Use LED outputs with your preferred lighting strips
Use ISOSPI & I2C ports for BMS operation
Except for the isolated CAN bus and main power input, no connectors shall be connected/shared with the VESC!
