My open source Arduino ESC - BEMF zero-cross

5 років тому

$2 for 5PCBs (Any solder mask colour): jlcpcb.com
After years of ESCs designs, I've made this board. It works great and close enough to a commercial ESC. It has 5V converter, PWM input, BEMF and it is programmed in Arduino.

Hey Electra noob I’ve been trying to redo your ECS that you posted I bought all the components and follow your instructions to the tea I cannot burn the boot loader the FTDI does not work the Arduino does not work neither does the nano I’ve tried everything can you please reply and tell me what’s needed so I can proceed the atmega 328AU chip will not burn I cannot troubleshoot it all the instructions that she put everybody is having the same problem they can’t burn the boot loader what is it that you did to get that boot loader to burn because it just won’t burn

@kinglu7897 2 роки тому

Please give detailed instructions List all require parts software and Hardware programs needed to complete the steps. I want the esc for a diy brushless hub motor I made and I’d like to test it bc the other escs aren’t big enough to step my 18p12n motor

@myetis1990 5 років тому

great job friend, in order to get rid of calibration we can implement dshot600 protocol instead of pwm dutycycle. most of esc of drone motors are using dshot because of reliability. therefore, i think that if your esc supported the dshot then it would be great.

@7sulzer 5 років тому

Hy! Great tutorial, i'm also building an esc from quite some Time, i hâd a lot of failures but finally i succeeded. I hâd a lot of problem with interferences, The mosfet drivers were burning, i bealive because of negative transients on VS pin The driver were stuking and short circuit between upper and lower fets were burning my driver and fets. Keep on Rolling.

Nicely done, I think I will give this a try. Have you done any work on FOC (Field Oriented Control) which I believe is more efficient because it makes use of all three phases simultaneously? I think that would be an awesome project for all of us to follow (the ultimate ESC). I know that it may be a lot more difficult, but to have a super smooth running almost noiseless motor would be awesome. It would definitely get me to join your patreon list.

Hello, very impressed with your work. Is there any chance you would be willing to assist with a BLDC controller design that could accommodate 400 VDC supply to the MOSFETS and BLDC. It seems you have worked out the issues around zero crossing, synchronization, and timing. I want to run a much larger BLDC motor, but do so at resonant frequencies. Thanks for your consideration assuming you have time.

@Al3xX9025 5 років тому

Great project, but if you want more current at the motor, I'd suggest to do some via stiching on the power tracks, a single via just can't handle that much current when going from a side to another.

Yes, version 2 has big via and exposed tracks so you could fill that with solder. Thanks!

Would it be possible to reprogram the esc to be reversable? Such an ESC would be useful for robotics, being able to spin the motor both directions. Current reversable/programable ESC's are quite expensive. And I have been subscribed for ages, but I missed this episode.. now I have to go through and see what other ones I missed!

@davidtlchow Рік тому

It is better to separate the controller circuit and driver circuit, so that higher power applications can be used without considering the size of the controller board. Simple mosfet driver boards are easy to make but with the cost of the mosfets. Maybe possible to add code to include a regenerative braking suitable for EV applications?

@UpcycleElectronics 5 років тому

Really nice project. This is the first time I've seen someone REALLY use EasyEDA for a project with design depth. I haven't had any reason to play with brushless stuff yet, but I'm curious. What is the main functional difference between back emf w/zero cross detection and hall sensor based triggering? I have seen lots of hall sensor based systems used in consumer products. Why would these manufacturers use more components and a longer BOM if they could achieve the same thing basically in software?

@IscleGaming 5 років тому

The main difference is in low speed motors. If you have a motor that spins very slowly, then the BEMF is almost undetectable, and the ESC won't know what to do and will just guess. However, at higher speeds it's actually better to use BEMF to know the motor position, and some ESCs like the VESC actually switch from hall mode to BEMF mode. Also, ESCs using BEMF as their only reference will have problems starting a loaded motor, however with hall sensors you will have a perfect, smooth start :)
