Thanks to help of Ray Edgley I publish the 14A continuous (30A peak) analog and digital motor driver. Project is designed mostly for myrobotlab users but it may be used by other peoples. Driver can not be produced and selled 

This is not the final version but is fully working with AM and SSM mode.

I think the PCB is the final version, its fully fit to VNH2SP30 shield.

One driver can controll 2 motors 14A each, max Voltage is 16V!.

This Driver have 2 mode of control, AM (analog mode) and SSM (servo signal mode) , in plans is third mode by I2C.

In analog mode AM driver control the motor by 0-5V signal to REF inputs, the POT inputs are for measure the motor position and set it to REF position.

 

In servo signal mode SSM driver control the motor by the input servo signal from 0.9ms to 2.4ms in 20ms loop connected to REF input. Motor position is controled by POT input like in analog mode.

 

To chose the mode simply put the jumper in control pins. If the jumper is with +5V the control will be SSM, if the jumper is to gnd then will be AM. The third option will be with no jumper.

Driver has many option like END SWITCH secure, if one of the POT input is connected GND the driver stops on actually position, this work in both of mode.
In SSM mode you may activate/deactivate driver output simply by attach or detach in myrobotlab or unpin POT connection.

Thanks to RAY Edgley Driver have PID regulation thanks to this driver may be set as need, but be carefull changing settings this may results in the driver not being able to control it.

Driver have also Deadband control, this alows the control of positioning accuracy.

and this is what i have now, only for testing manualy all mechanism (soft is for this and need to write it to other solutions) , most importand is the dynamics of motor stering. Manually I check all solutions of motors dynamics. Motors must be fast but with correct acceleration and braking (manually may check all of the solutions)

This is the start of the proposed pin usage

Hello Bart,

Try out the following code.

it uses over 80% of the Flash memory but does have PID control with a choice of Analog control or PWM input like an RC servo.  Output is dual cahnnel PWM.

Please let me know how it goes.
 
It seams the I2C library is only available in the comercial paid version of Bascom and I don't think it's worth it.

Do let me know how it goes.


There are ome serious limitations with this chip, and the programming software.


But it will be interesting to know if it works.

Thank You Grog, and thank You Ray...


PB3 - is the reset pin of microcontroller (if I swich off this i can not program it)


ok i try to project new PCB for those, I must think about how to comunicate by I2C without any breaks in ADC, on int, we must do some sub funcion where we get signals from I2C.


We have one pin free, this may be used for some endstop switch, better will be to use two pins , one for each motor..

There is problem with filtering in program, if I use


 


output1=ref1-pot1


 


without this filtering:



	    Err1 = Ref1 - Pot1



	    Temp2 = Err1 * Dt



	    Integral1 = Integral1 + Temp2



	    Temp2 = Err1 - Preverr1



	    Derivative1 = Temp2 / Dt



	    Derivative1 = Derivative1 * Kd1



	    Temp2 = Integral1 * Ki1



	    Output1 = Kp1 * Err1



	    Output1 = Output1 + Temp2



	    Output1 = Output1 + Derivative1



	    Preverr1 = Err1




with this filtering all works in only one direction, I belive there is some small mistake in calculations. I try to find this ;/


 


all it's working in analog mode, I don't checked PWM and I2C mode yet.


Sorry no I2C mode ... yet!


Ok, i find one problem:


Derivative1 = Derivative1 * Kd1


 


Derivative1 will be always =0 because Kd1 is =0


 


hmmm filter is working in excel maybe is something with variables in bascom

Is it possible the error is comming from an external source such as the two timer interrupts?


There are quite a number of interrupts on the tiny84, i used one for the two pwm outputs, and one is usec for the pwm input timing!

At last work on analog mode with PID :)


but, no live with PWM mode, I connected normal servo to check signal from the arduino and normal servo its working , an these same pin DIY SERV DRV not work. I thin there is something with INT.

OK i found there is no ENABLE PCINT(X)


SET PCINT(x) - what for ? I think it is not neccecery.


Tommorow is next day of checking :P

Hello Bartca,


I noticed that you are running with higher counts than was origonally calculated, not sure where I got it wrong,


In one of the comments you made you mentioned having to restric the range due to instability, There is a setting that may not have been taken into account.


Up the the setup section, we set OCR1A to 20000, with the real world results we are seeing this may be should have been closer to 40000.


Just a thought


The OCR1A is used to trigger the interrupt for loss of signal in what you called SSM mode (I called it PWM mode, but your naming will lead to less confusion so I will match your naming)
