DIY MOSFET H-Bridge Driver

Hi @Sieben have built 2 demo units to test out FFB Leonardo version and the other STM both controllers seem to be working. so one rig will be direct drive the other will be reduction drive , You guys seem to use the wheelcheck step test , but cant get my head around interpreting the chart results , like the ones you often post ... can you point me to where I can learn how to create that charts and each test operation for wheelcheck utility ? would like to use this tool for build performance of my two test wheel setups . Cheers

Nice.

If use open office, just open "blabla smth as calculator" option with rmb. And use commons as separator. Under the video is chart itself must be too.

Cheers @Sieben really appreciate the rapid response , will now go watch this and hope some of it sinks in Cheers

Switched to 4khz PWM, and the driver works perfect. The 4n35 optocouplers, are not good for the 16khz pwm frequencies. Any other optos can be chosen ets for the frequency that is out of the hearing range. But, 4khz is good too in that aspect. It's quite, a quite one)))

The force linearity test)

Checked the torque amount the wheel produce. I recalculated it before according to the lever it was measured, right on the sprocket, and that was 7 nm. Then checked with 1m lever and all the same results) A bit more then 0.7kg gives - 7Nm of force)



And changed the wires in relay. Now it is a high amp one)

Some changes with flyback's connections. That should be a right thing. )

By having directly cut out the relay from the driver, and having an idea of replacing it with a first bridge circuit there, instead of the relay, a quite reasonable question arose, why not actually give a chance to one BTS7960, together with the idle diodes and capacitors in a team. )

Driver with relay.


As a short summary, experience in using relays. To be honest, I don’t know what kind of assessment to give, because replacing the BTS and unscrewing the FFB 100% Gain, Constant and a feature in the form of Scale up to x2.5 times Constant in EMC09, I got almost the same steering wheel vibration in the center, as with the relay, but at much lower FFB values when there was a relay. For BTS, I left everything in a hundred and reduced Scale x1.5 Constant. If x2.5, the BTS chips get heat up more, so it is set in more “cautious” modes so far (Scale x1.5 Constant.)Again, can repeat that with the "relay driver" it pumped much more strongly at much lower values of force. The switching moment, by changing the direction of rotation, is also not noticeable, with a relay, as it may seem. The same thing in the center. But in short, if it were not for the "oscillations" in the center, as a result of a forced decrease in the strength of ffb, to eliminate it, an absolutely adequate and powerful playable driver would be obtained. If this is of course it's problem at all, i.e. see paragraph above. One can of course connect it to the bridge circuit, from the beginning of the experiments, and see what happens. ) Maybe even the first version of the diy driver will go, but with the correct binding for diodes, and condencers. It may even be possible to score on the need for deadtime s for the bridge.

BTS7960. As it was announced earlier,https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...ing-dc-motor-based-on-mmos.13019/#post-174094
the chip numbers in this bts are sort of from the correct series. (617)


The linearity of the base with a wheel of 1.4 kg


This curve, it seems even due to the fact that it is not MMOS that is used, but EMC. Arduino, and not an STM32. Presumably. Since, in the comparative test, one run was enough, and you get an even linearity curve, in MMOS, with EMC apparently has its own small issues, in this regard. But let me remind you that it was even too, when experimenting with the diy driver of the first version and with EMC09)


BTS7960


Some sort of countersteering etc


And with relay.)

BTS 7960

The power arrangement with caps and flyback for bts7960 used. The caps nominals and quantity is for example. Should be picked in accordance of the total amount of the ripple curent specs.

Hi there!)

Some connections clear up with the power section to the schematic above) I can say that, the freewheeling diodes are an option, with BTS7960 usage. But also can be used for good with it. And, it is quite an obligatory to use this schematics, with complete diy controllers for powerfull motors.

The linearity with no scale for constant in emc. Gain, Constant 100%, 1.5% min force in wheelcheck.
Heavy wheel.

And some add-ons with freewheeling diodes lay out connections if take it in a line arrangement.

Made such layout with one in the PWM side IRFP460A for now (500V20A Mosfet) and throw away the flybacks and TVS supressors. I'll remind that there emerged the oscillations after some levels of gain amount etc with'em. With this, they dissapear. Thus the full power in gain, constant and scale can be made. (EMC 0.9)
The PSU is 12v12.5a.

On the tests.






Full gain, constant.

Made up the H-Bridge with IRF3205 and Ir2101 gate drivers.

Based on this.

Now to Relay driver.
Made some minor changes to the schematics of the diy gate driver component nominals with wires layout may be too, and found out that the mechanical relay driver is completely and fully correspondsto the needs of the motor driver for FFB. There is no lags or any of the kind due to the relay itself. No oscillations and so on. Can be used with no problem may be except for the relay sound a bit. )


40% FFb with no extra min force etc. The mosfet is cool but the motor can be boiled with full settings) So works great really.

Compared to BTS with all the same force but with 2% of min force for BTS.



For low voltage mosfets with flaybacks, and high voltage mosfets with no flyback diodes.

Want to see how final design work.

Hi sir, it is posible to use on 2DOF sir??
I realy apriciate your project make i big version of bts7960.

Why not i guess.

I will try sir, i used emc too.

Haisir, what is fungtion of diodo before to the motor sir??

Eliminate high voltage spikes that destroy low voltage mosfets, mosfet bridges.

does it have to be filled so that the bts7960 lasts?? and what type of diode is good, if input 22v 13A sir?
