Try using 'benf's firmware, checkout http://www.seeedstudio.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=12 or just search around the interwebz for 'benf firmware'. Much improved. And I believe it includes the 'small signals' capture mode which is one of the things the quad;s community firmware does - makes the buf

[Emc-users] G540 Test Update

2012-04-14 Thread Kirk Wallace
I set up Dan's G540 today and used it with three different ports. A motherboard port which worked okay, but showed a bit of a saw toothed wave form, so it seems the G540 pump input draws a fair amount of capacitive load compared to the pin 16 output source capability. I then used a Rosewill dual

1. It looks like it might work as is, provided I can figure out how to set it up to make a measurement. 2. It says in the mimeographed at fax resolution docs that come with it, on page 6 which describes how to update the firmware, and which I assume needs a windows box, and no cd accompanies i

I think it will take a custom sine drive. I think microchip's bldc demo board would possibly drive that motor. A few ideas - #1 Use more hall sensors and a sine lookup table. #2 Use hall sensors + angle sensing by current pulsing/reading. #3 Sync the halls with the encoder some way. (not a

The Storebro project is proceeding. Some measurements wil soon be presented on my site because they are part of low level motor control and should therefore be of general interest for the group. The related electronics drawings are there already. The machine magically started to function again du
