Entry 1: from whence we start
Log from Reverse Engineering: Brushless DC Motor Controller
Before 2016, I'd not worked with brushless DC motors. Being very aware of the Dunning-Kruger effect, I assumed that I would need to learn quite a lot, and that I'd come out the other side thinking myself an idiot. Which is mostly true; I made some ridiculous...

S-ROV controller test
Log from S-ROV : Underwater Drone
I have tested the main controller. The wiring is ,a bit complicated, but the following tests were conducted in the above situation.1. PLC(Power Line Communication) availabilityI checked the Ethernet communication through the 50m long wire and it works...

Keep On Rolling
Log from RoadRunner - Powered Running Stroller
LongevityThe major consideration for a project like this is how to get it to move and how to make sure it keeps moving. Anyone who runs these distances knows the effort level involved, although a modern electric motor should be somewhat more efficient.Our...

Design #1: Test setup
Log from MORPH : Modular Open Robotics Platform for Hackers
This has been a pet project for about a year now, and I would like to start by giving a short summary of the past design iterations. While having a general idea in my head, I didn't start with a clear end-design. Instead I focused on rapid prototyping...

Current Status and Testing
Log from TrillSat
Current Status I've spent about one year programming the core systems, and one year building, and it is now in the final stages of writing/perfecting the highest level algorithms and adjusting for real-world use. The packet radio interface has...

Future roadmap
Log from Aruna - ROV
With the Hackaday 2020 prize drawing to an end (and with my submission video uploaded) I thought it might be a good idea to talk about what I'm planning to do next for the Aruna project. Please note that these are ideas of mine and might not be implemented...

The Dimmer Design Done
Log from THE GEM - Smart LED Grow Lamp[Light&heatsource]
The controller is now ready for testing. Have had to do a few changes to insure good system reliability. * Since the controller can be used as a BLDC or stepper controller, I have upgraded the TVS diode package. * The 5V LDO have been upgraded...

Arm Motor Control and Drive Motor Control Rev.2
Log from Mars Rover Project
Unfortunately we did not document the making of the Arm/Stepper Motor Control (SMC) and Drive Motor Control (DMC) boards, but they are simple boards that was our first stint into PCB making and therefore contained a LOT of problems that we...

BLADE 2 is Here!
Log from 3D PRINTED PORTABLE WIND TURBINE
I have finished the design of the new Blade that I want to use in prototype 2. The geometry I got from the QBLADE 0.96 Software which you can download and use for free. I've attached the design and simulation file for my new Blade if you'd like to take...

PWM control and Dead Time Insertion
Log from Gator Quad
So as is often the case I vastly overestimated my knowledge on a few subjects. In my last post on this project I had successfully designed and put together my physical motor driver. This meant that all I really needed to do to get the motor spinning...

FlexSEA-Execute 0.1: Advanced motion controller
Log from FlexSEA: Wearable robotics toolkit
At its core, the FlexSEA-Execute board is a BLDC motor driver. It is specialized for robotic and prosthetic applications. The high level design goals were to maximize the system integration (small physical dimensions, large number of integrated peripherals...

VESC Finally Arrived
Log from Electric Longboard
VESC From Enertion for around $100.00 After about 50 miles using our original Turnig 60A ESC (obviously with no brakes) our VESC finally arrived! Super excited to hook this up.InstallationInstallation was pretty straight forward. We added the female...

Log from Valify V2 Robot Lawnmower
Rotary Position Sensor + VESCAs it turns out you do not really need to make modifications to remove the hall sensor filter in order to get Rotary Position Sensors to work with the VESC. In a previous post I described how I located the hall...

PROTOTYPE 3 REJECTED!
Log from 3D PRINTED PORTABLE WIND TURBINE
It's hard to say, but I had to abandon the development of prototype 3. Don't worry, I'm not going to abandon this project, in fact, today I am in a much more advanced step than what I am going to describe in this Log. The main reasons that supported...
