They are not that hard to solder tbh. If you want to improve your results: - Technique improvment -> 1. Set your iron to 320°C to 380°C 2. Tin your tip with a bit of fresh solder, you can flick away the excess with a quick movement of your iron. 3. Your solder wire has flux in its core, the flux helps to keep the solder oxyde free and wet the metal quicker. However, the flux burns quickly, so you should avoid putting it on the iron tip and instead squeeze the solder wire between the pad and the iron, then add more solder to the molten tin. Hardware upgrade : get yourself an iron with an active tip lime the ts100 or the pinecil. Even at lower power, the heat transfer is way better. Get yourself some flux. I like the chipquick NC191. Get yourself good quality solder wire. Not low temperature, not desoldering wire. Preferably leadfree, but doesnt have to be alloyed with silver.. I preffer thinner solder wire, easier to control imo. Steelwool works well to clean your tip, no need for fancy copper wool and wet sponge are annoying.

@@Personnenenparle doesn’t change the fact that using the motor with bare wires is still more delicate and doesn’t have a motor driver. Thanks for the advice though - I already do know how to solder these motors well, but I still do find them annoying sometimes. TinyDRV makes it so much easier.

@@AIPapersDecodedPodcast yes, they are called coreless motors, and they are meant for high speed and low torque, like that of a drone. They normally do not have a gearbox attached.

@ ohh dude I misunderstood you. No, I don’t think you can use it for just a high side switch with only one FET. Sorry, I must’ve not been thinking right when I responded. Look through Texas Instruments power switches section for some other ICs - some of them even have integrated low Rds FETs. Dude, I’m so sorry if I mislead you - I thought you meant can it be used as a high side switch with two FETs, not just one. The voltage sensing between D and S pins would prevent you from doing this I think. However, you can always contact onsemi support team - they are very friendly.
@WeiweiSu-e6e2 күн бұрын
@h1tec I was looking for a high-side switch controller that I could PWM it (~250Hz), because it's switching for 10-15A current the integrated fet switch is not feasible and TI says their oring controller and hot swap controller can't be PWMed so my options are limited.
@h1tec2 күн бұрын
@ couldn’t you just use a standard N channel MOSFET gate driver? Then you could get the N channel MOSFET to switch the low side (which is easier than switching the high side, but you can still do it if you want)? There are many that exist out there 😁 Half-bridge gate drivers are also an effective solution.

Yow! Love your videos! Nice to know young ones are into these things we love - electronics and robotics. by the way, those vibrations from your pole can induce weird angular changes to your inputs which can disrupt your PID. Also, 1. do you just request JLC PCB to pre order the parts and solder them on the board for you? or do you manually buy parts from TI? 2. and how long does the PCB from JLC PCB arrive?
@h1tec10 күн бұрын
Thanks. I use PCBWay, not JLC 😁 They source the parts, manufacture the PCBs, and assemble the components onto the PCBs, and ship them out to me within about 2 weeks, if it is an assembled board. To Australia, using DHL, shipping often takes just 2 days. If the board is not being assembled by them, depending on the complexity of the board (layers, advanced processes like impedance matching and tight clearances), it will be delivered to my home in about 4 days for a 2 layer standard $5 PCB. If you sign up with my link pcbway.com/g/x5f10h, you can get $5 of your first order and support the channel. Thanks.
