Electronic Split Shaft Lock

Electronically controlled split shaft (disconnect) actuator. Engages or disengages a driveshaft section to switch between 2WD and AWD modes on demand.

State Fields

FieldTypeDescription
isActive, isActingbooleanStatus flags for clutch engagement.

Public API

FunctionDescription
registerCMU(cmu)Links to the CMU.
module.setDebugMode(debugEnabled)Sets the debug mode.
module.shutdown()Shuts down the module and cleans up resources.
module.setParameters(parameters)Sets the parameters.
module.setConfig(configTable)Sets the config.
module.getConfig()Returns the config.

Hooks

HookDescription

Electronic Differential Lock

Brake-based electronic differential lock actuator. Simulates differential locking by applying brake pressure to the spinning wheel, transferring torque to the gripping wheel. Does not use a mechanical lock.

Sensor Hub

Central aggregation point for all driving dynamics sensor data. Collects and normalizes readings from wheel speed sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and steering angle sensors into a unified data structure consumed by supervisors.
