It continues to be the spring of new products at mjbots (see the mjcanfd-usb-1x from earlier), and today I have some basics that are newly added to the store to make building machines just a bit simpler.

First are two tiny boards to make daisy chaining power and CAN-FD connections easier for boards that don’t have built-in daisy chain connectors like the moteus-n1. First is a junction board for PH3 cables:

And the second is a similar junction board for XT30 cables:

While it may not be technically spring outside, it is spring for product announcements here at mjbots, and I’m excited to announce the next evolution of CAN-FD adapter hardware we’re offering, the mjcanfd-usb-1x:

The major changes from the fdcanusb:

• USB-C instead of USB micro

• Smaller form factor - 30x18mm

• PH3 CAN-FD connector instead of DB9

• Less expensive, only $39

This makes the mjcanfd-usb-1x better suited for in-application deployments and just all around better as a development tool. It can be mounted down more easily, uses the same connector and pinout as moteus, and is compatible with our existing PH3 cables.
