Hey man, your code looks like the I and D terms are 0, because you're converting/truncating a double to integer. From your site: int kp = 2, ki = 0.01, kd = 0.02;

A better solution for controling brushed motors with PID is using PD + minimum value. DC motors tend to stall at low pwm values because of the friction and cogging of the motor. You set your pwm frecuency and measure the minimum pwm value you need for the motor to just start moving. Take note of the value you need so that its just before that. Then just set the P and D values accordingly and that will give you a much more responsive and linear system as you dont have I lag and will even easily do really low speeds without stalling (if it stalls, raise your minimum value) your final values shoud me [0, - 255] and the corresponding negative values. Be sure to add the case for 0 so that if wont keep it at when 0

[@electronicscaos]

Old industrial drives used tacho with encoders, so the tacho allowed precise control of speed and the encoder allowed the position precision. There is old school machines with incredible precision, with DC servo motors with permanent magnets as field.

[@nrdesign1991]

Oooh, will definitely try that. I just finished my implementation of a PID control software, and hacked an RC servo tro try it out with. PI works wonderfully with a PC fan, but PID gave me a heck of a lot of trouble with the servo. Especially a D over 1.0 ist making everything just shake and rattle, by generally amplifying the sensor noise

[@laharl2k]

@@nrdesign1991 PID doesnt work for everything, first you need to understand the system you are working with, in other words its response curve. PID assumes a linear system but friction and other physics things cause things not to be linear at all. I dont think this would apply to an rc servo as it has its own pid inside, this is mainly for motors being controled with pwn with a mosfet. As motors are inductive loads, the higher the frequency the more exponential the response so that why the minimum value, to ofset the pid to the point where the friction, cogging and exponential response stop stalling the motor. PC fans are capasitive most of the times, they usually have a capasitor at the input to filter the noise generated by the switching. You should try either making a linear aproximation or an exponential curve (pass the output of the pid to a exponential function and use the function to set the pwm) Also as with with inductive loads, lowering the frequency reduces the reactance, so the lower the frequency the more lineal the response will be, for both inductive or capasitive loads. The only downside of lowering the frequency is coil whine or vibrations, but that depends on the motor or whatever you are powering so give it a try.

[@nrdesign1991]

@@laharl2k 1) I hacked the servo so I'm left with the H bridge, motor and potentiometer for my own control (also the gears, naturally). I've already implemented the minimum PWM, but havent had good results yet (either too shaky control, or creep). Some of it is to blame on mechanical play of the gears, too. 2) the PC fan is a model with tach output and PWM input, so the only "capacity" is the kinetic energy of the spinning fan. It runs extremely well and comes up to the desired speed when tuned properly, even under load.

[@laharl2k]

@@nrdesign1991 1) i would check the original controller's frequency and duty cycle as a reference and also check whether it had hysteresis or not. I guess they should to avoid oscilation. My guess if your fequency is too high, try something like 50-500hz 2) yeah but i bet you cant go below 20% duty cycle. I thought you were doing pwm to the power line. PWM pc fans usually follow the intel standard which says that fans should turn off below 20%. Not that it would matter a lot for a fan but if you want anything below you will have to switch the power directly, i dont think the circuitry has any problem with that, mostly for compatibility with older motherboards.

I Can't ignore your video...so interesting nd knowledgeable 👍

[@rklauco]

Btw - homing. You can measure the encoder output correlation to amount of PID output. I've made a routine which is activated if PID output is full (e.g. +127 or -127) and measures time since last encoder change. If it does not change for the specified time, the motor hit a "wall" (virtual endstop). Then I would move the axes into the opposing side and measure the number of steps taken - again employing the routine to verify if I've hit the wall. Like that you can get: a) sensorless homing b) information about the full axes range (real data, not calculated) c) verify, if the expected length is really available or your carriage has some problems Needs just a few lines of code and works like a charm ;)

If your interpolator has rotational velocity output, you could use some feed forward to eliminate some of the lag.

[@x87alpha1]

[@TheRainHarvester]

How do fast machines step 1 step at a time when their encoders define the step size? Do they just go full on, then wait for an encoder pulse, then turn off? What about inertia? (I'm currently making a 3d printer and looking for ideas.)

[@electronic7979]

Excellent project 👍

[@themanyone]

In theory, it should be possible to (very roughly) count the rotations of a brushed DC motor by monitoring the current going through it. Granularity would depend on the number of magnetic poles, but a computer could interpolate values in between to get a fairly-accurate position. Three points define a curve...

[@peterciurea7771]

Is there an off the shelf equivalent to the stepper controller for using a large DC or AC motor with an encoder, and if necessary a electromagnetic brake? I mean a complete boxed controller, like the ones available for Steppers in CNC kits. Connect motor, power supply and and connect dir pulse enable to the breakout. I have several large 1 to 3hp motors that come with pre attached encoders and gear box, in either DC or 3 phase.AC . I'm thinking about making a large format cnc table, and to use one of these guys for a 12 foot long Y axis. I have all the rail and timing belt stuff needed to go with this, from a automation project a friend built years ago with ISA card automation hardware. It seems someone ought to make a modern controller that could drop in next to the typical stepper controllers that all talk to a breakout board and standard software and save the trouble of doing special circuits and coding

if the reason not using stepper because of "prices". ive been through this dc motor need gear for hold torque, need separate mcu to monitor the encoder in high speed, surely wearout in long use. short answer is, if the reason is price there is lot of used/second hand stepper that way cheaper than brushed with encoder and gearbox

[@tiagotiagot]

Don't brushed motors tend to deteriorate fast if you spin them in the wrong direction too much?

[@PowerScissor]

Depends on how they are manufactured. Cheap ones sometimes have directional brushes that will permanently damage the motor if reversed. Some brushes just wear in one direction, so don't like reversals after that. Some have well designed brushes that work well in either direction and don't wear abnormally from a dominant direction.

hi do you have a drawing of proteus?

[@kurtnelle]

Wouldn't replacing the pot in a hobby servo with a linear potentiometer achieve more or less the same thing, but with greater accuracy? Or perhaps an LVDT?

[@artbyrobot1]

you'd have to not only change the potentiometer to a rotary encoder but also make the drive circuit changed to be continuous rotation modded and you'd have to remove the cog that prevents continuous rotation. You also are forced to use PWM so lose control of the switching speed of the individual mosfets so you lost speed control fine tuning and power control fine tuning.

[@cs_99x14]

[@XTronical]

As usual, excellent. A question : when reversing direction is backlash (the slack in the gears) an issue for accuracy on this? It could be allowed for in coding though.

[@giovannibianchessi1578]

Since he uses encoders, If he placed encodes on the screw instead of the motor, the backlash would be automatically avoided backlash.

[@XTronical]

@@giovannibianchessi1578 wouldn't that reduce the resolution a lot?

[@giovannibianchessi1578]

@@XTronical Yes, if there is a gearbox, you are right. And those encoders, seems to me, they have few pulses per revolution. However, mine was and is only a theorical speech. But let's suppose the screw pitch is 4 mm and the encoder has 32 sectors. If we consider both fronts, rising and falling, pulses become 64. 4/64=0,0625 mm if I am not wrong. (And if the encoder has a qudrature output, giving two signals, it is possible to multiply pulses by four.) For that kind of machine and if we consider torsions, low rigidity etc. in my opinion, is not bad.
