Youtube channel with short videos Application project of motor driverWorks with my RS485 controller Specs: M2 mounting holes on a 32mm diameter circle27mm x 27mm x 0.8mm, 4-layer, 1oz copper PCB7-15V input, built-in voltage sensingInternal temperature...
My goal is to make rc car autonomous racesVideos of the project development :Part 1 : Developping my own ESC. It's based on an Atmega328P (same as Arduino UNO) and has the following characteristics : - Works with BLDC motor with or without hall sensors-...
The groundstations main part is an electric motor (used as a motor and of course as a generator). We have chosen a very commonly available 3-phase BLDC brushless motor. It has a stator with 3 phases and a rotor with alternating permanent magnets. Attached...
FAZE4 As some of you may know I also designed 2 other 3D-printed DIY robot arms; Faze4 and CM6. I would say Faze4 did well in the open-source community and has an active user base. It is mostly used by students as thesis work and just like a DIY robot...
System Overview The Smart Knob is based on ESP WROOM 32E microprocessor module. The haptic feedback is realized by burying a BLDC motor in the main body of the knob. A magnetic sensor senses the direction of the knob and sends the angle to ESP32. ESP32...
One major reason for that is that there is a huge gap between the hardware that's used in commercial devices and in research prototypes. To make a successful robotic prosthesis you need a small, lightweight embedded system that can support high peak...
And I made sure the vias were aligned. I know Future Me will always be thinking of any imperfections. Starting the grind at 14:30, I found out that you can drag the Fusion 360 tabs out to put them in new windows (see below). This helps loads because...
The focus of this project is a very low cost robotic platform that provides a test bed for a new model of machine cognition. A purpose built micro cluster serves as the 'brain' and the BigSack deep K/V store was optimized for cluster operation. The Robot...
This project was something I began working on before the Hackaday Prize was announced, and sensors and connectivity were always part of the plan. At the very least, temperature and relative humidity need to be measured as condensation can be a problem...
A picture story:I have completed the building of my first motor driver board. This is a prototype so it has been constructed on a perf board protyping board that I bought at Fry's electronics. This is not meant to be a flying prototype just a test bed...
Input shaft: LOCKED!I'm now able to lock the two motors together and drive them against each other as a dyno. Did this briefly today and it worked nicely.This is an important ability as it lets me tune the offset angle for different speed and torque...
Motor control is a very broad topic. It touches on traditional electronic design, power design, signals, physical properties, math, embedded systems...I actually can't think of an area it doesn't touch. There are experts in the field who spend their...
anaQuad120 was mentioned in a previous log entry, here: https://hackaday.io/project/9984/log/33419-anaquad120 wherein a couple hall-effect transistors from a BLDC-motor can be used as an encoder. In the previous log, I used those from a 5.25in floppy...
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...
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...
