BLDC Hover Board Motor Controller | Part 1| Tutorial # 28

[@airfriedquadsbw]

To slow the motor use dynamic breaking. Power to zero. Short 2 of the 3 wires together and it will come to a stop, the motor will induce current in the coils, causes dynamic breaking. But it takes motion to do this. So the effect stops when the motor does

[@josedavidtutivencastro2298]

Okey gracias

[@Himura112]

I have the same controller but I am trying to develop braking when changing direction, since the code waits for it to finish turning to change direction.

Is the variable speed adjustment same as a twist throttle or in that manner similar where it wouldn't matter if you had one or the other hooked up

I bought one of these controllers. I think I fried it using the the hover board battery. What is the maximum size battery I can use with this control unit. I was also wondering if I can use a 19 V DC power supply with it instead of the battery. I’m looking to make a large rock Tumblr with it and I need constant power for weeks. Please let me know your thoughts on this. I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much.

5:25 La placa trae dos reguladores uno 317 y el otro 7805, ninguno de los dos soportan mas de 36v en sus entradas de tension, por lo que vi en los datasheets los transistores si son hasta 70v, creen que cambiando la resistencia 1000 SMD que alimenta los reguladores podre poner una bateria de 42v comunes en patinetes y hover board?

Thanks for this! I'm about to try it with the 36V hoverboard lipo. Can you explain why it fried your board? They should be able to take 36V? They say to add heatsinks to the MOSFETs over 60W, did you try that? I'm trying a similar "DC 12V-36V 15A 500W Brushless Motor Controller Hall BLDC Driver Board LJ" $10 board.

[@maricomovies]

Did you test it with initial torque? I tested this controller and it have problems to start when wheel is under a load (initial torque). In your video all rotation tests is in "free wheel" condition so it starts smoothly. But when wheel is under the little load controller has problems to start (it just jumping back-forward). Just start rotation in slow rate and try stop it by hand, it has no torque-control loop.

[@ThnkCmdyFeelTrgdy]

I'm curious about the Hall Sensors, do they need to be connected? It's not like a BLDC controller needs Hall sensors to run, they can easily run in sensor less mode. Hall sensors are more about information on the running motor such as direction and speed. Its possible to adjust a BLDC motor just using the phase wires and looking at current draw/feedback but there are numerous other variables both static and dynamic that increase complexity and ultimately limit effectiveness. Hall sensors can provide detailed position information which certainly improves the ability to tune a BLDC's performance, however there are many many different kinds of Hall Sensor based on measured parameters and abilities of detection. Hall sensors can just detect, or provide position, they act as momentary switches, or as latch switches. I have ordered similar controller boards, but the documentation is utterly void of any specifics regarding the Hall Sensors... It makes some comment about motor being different, parents paying attention, and my drive plate will burn.... While its possible they are trying to say: If you drive your parents car faster than they do, they will burn your dinner and serve it to you on a plate, I suspect they intended something else. I believe this is a warning that when connecting call sensors you must be careful the connections don't overload (e.g.

Shane It depends on what size motors you are looking for. For instance, hover board motors go around $30 to $80 per motor based on the size (6" to 10"). Also, you need to consider how much torque you need. You can also consider servo or dc motor with gearbox reduction. It may be a better solution; it really depends on your needs and the budget. I hope this helps. I bought the motors from eBay for $50 a piece. Good luck with your project and thanks.
