Tronic's AMC motor motion-controller with pwm/servo output

Hmm..2 attempts at Etching and both failed.Have another go tomorrow and i'm learn heaps from all you guys...Thanks

Kuni:

When you start:

1 Print the design with a LASERprinter 1:1 on glossy photopaper.(check it with the atmega for pin-alignment!!!)
2 SCUFF the pcb till it shine.
3 DEGREASE the pcb.
4 Turn the iron on to MAX (without steam!!!).
5 Place the design on the pcb and use a a4 regular paper between the design and iron to reduce friction.
6 Press the iron still on the pcb with the design to heat up the ink.( +/- 1 min.)
7 Then use the TIP of the iron with FORCE and go over the total design.
8 Let it COOL so you can pick it up.
9 Place the pcb under water and let it be for 3 min.
10 Pull of the paper and put it back for 3 min.
11 PEEL of any paper left.
12 CHECK the pcb/layout for faults (use a CD-marker to repair any spots)
13 go ahead and etch the pcb. Moving the tray helps a lot!
14 rinse with water and clean the ink with ACETONE.
15 finished with a nice pcb....

This is the way I did it.
Hope it helps!!!

Thanks Michael...
Found we had to enlarge the Photo copy to 103% to match the pins for the DIL40..that wasn't a problem.I was too keen to make the boards and didn't do the basic cleaning to well,didn't scuff the copper too well but did use acertone to clean.I also used a different grade of photopaper as i thought that may have been the problem also,went to glossy photopaper and 200gms i think it was.
I now have 2 shiny pcb boards ready to be drilled.

GREAT... i am happy that it worked!!! now to the next fase....

Hi everyone.
I can't buy the lcd screen here...DEM16217SYH-PY..i have googled to find a alternitive but with no luck.
We have here QP 5512...QP 5520...QP 5516..They are all 2 line 16 character but don't know if they are compatable .
Also cannot find the zener diode..1N5231...the only ones avaliable to me in 5volts is 1N4733..1N4734..
Thanks to all that can help me.

Do anyone have a B.O.M. list to be purchase all together from one place?
I do remember seen it on Tronics AMC manual but when you click on it, it do not take anywhere.
Thanks!
PS: just gathering all stuff to start my sim too !!!

Two more things.
What Wiper motor do you guys recommend, Planing to visit the junkyard soon!
For LCD, Can't find the one specified.
Can anyone Mention an alternative?
Thanks!

For the lcd look on ebay... i found plenty of them... just search on HD44780 and worldwide... :yes:
use 2 x 16 lines... i got the blue one,but it was difficult to get the contrast just right... i suggest to use the standard green ones...
As for the BOM list i used the one in this thread from Reichelt... it is posted somewhere here in this tread i think it is from Raceray ?!? :thbup:
As for the wipers... : i could use some advice on them...
greets michael...

Hi, I have a question. My AVR Controller (Thanos) is not detected as X-Sim interface. Just like my dual motor driverVNH2SP30 from Pololu. Both work and I can control x and y peer controllers but they are not recognized as an interface.
From the voltage goes back to the Pololu AVR (Thanos) that should probably not be correct or?
I can use 5V to Pololu and the AVR goes on without switching on the AVR.
I have test the (Thanos) H-Bridge with x-sim with serial com1 and with USB adapter (digitus FTDI) but no interface found.
Hyperterminal conection goes without any problems.
Maybe someone has an idea what can be or how I could change that?
Sorry for my english

hello freinds
i've made Tronic AMC 1.5controller after a few problems and fix them all, it just work very well now and then for second time i tried again and also the second one was very smooth and work well too(thank you Tronic),but about DSMhb 1,2 ,i've done 6 or 7 time but every each time i ve had different problems mostly overheat the mosfet and burnd out, however i ve read most of the procedure and guides and lots of related posts but ive still problem of having it(may it is not as quality as Tronics AMC1.5),as i live in a place which i dont have access to the boards like rn vn2 or' Pololu VNH2SP30 instead so i have no alternative,please help after a lot of work what should i do for better quality,here is pics of my sim motion.


sorry for poor english

Hi everyone.
Found some lcd screens here in New Zealand...(very strange to find these here) anyway they come with a 10k trim pot for adjustment of your contrast,maybe that will help with the brightness.$8.50 NZ so very cheap..($6.62 US) http://www.trademe.co.nz/electronics-ph ... 195899.htm

Hello forum!
While trying to order parts to builds the
controller and going back and forth the different list got confused.
Do anyone have a updated and completed list for both the controler and h-bridge?
And it will great if anyone can direct to a web site here in USA!
Cheers!

Hi forum!
Finally ordered most of the parts from jaleco & Newark.
Questions:
I did not find some resistors at 1% , for example;
4.7k 1/4 watt 1%
They do have 4.7k 1/4 watt 5%.
Can i use the resistor rated at 5% ?
Can mix 5 & 1%?
Let say some resistors at 1% and some at 5%?
Can i replace all resistors to 5%?
Also, do anyone have an part number for the INDUCTOR ?

Mouser
43LS105 Xicon Miniature Choke/Inductor Axial Lead 10uH 0.5A epoxy coated qty:1 $0.41

Does one have to use this Paralell LCD printboard with the 10 ohm on it or should it also work when the wires are directly welded to the LCD?

Also i want to use a pc-psu 12v 400w, max 15 amps and a car battery.
How should i prepare the pc-psu? just tie all the 12v + together and one separate for the LCD?
and the same with the minus?

Hi guys,

Serial cable for programming atmega8535 is crossed or pin to pin cable?

When I try to connect to the chip red led blinks, I can read it but first gives an error and after Ignore ends reading but when I try to Write error comes and no write is possible.

EDIT: I've solved the problem. It was a XP issue with COM port.

Hello! I have a question when i connect to X-sim profiler, my amc1.5 cannot detect
as output interface. Did the DSMHb should always connected to amc in order
to detect with x-sim profiler?

i'm very happy right now due to my amc1.5 was success to communicate with hyperterminal using crystal 18.43212 MHz as image below. thank you very much to Thanos and Fermevc for help. Now i'm still assembling the DSMHb and i hope for this week will be finished.

Hi people.
Building the H-Bridge and trying to find the N-channel and p channel mosfets.The numbers don't mean much here,(INFZ44N..INFL44N).There are so many of them so need to know what other numbers i can use or all the spec's on them like, Continuous Drain Current Id ,On Resistance Rds(on),Threshold Voltage Vgs Typ .I could go on but i hope you know what i mean.

Thanks Bruce

Found it...lol..i put my glasses on a now can see...
