VESC – Benjamin’s open source brushless motor driver (schematic, PCB, firmware, tool software, etc.)

ESC is the abbreviation of Electric Speed ​​Controller, that is, electronic speed controller, or ESC for short. The author is Benjamin Vedder, so it is called VESC. You may have heard of it, which is Benjamin ESC. This project is mainly divided into several parts, VESC firmware, bill of materials, VESC hardware, and VESC tool software. It is a very complete software and hardware project, and the supporting software is also excellent.

Starfish: an open source project for motor control board using component pick-and-place of RP2040 and TMC2209

Starfish is a pick and place machine control board built on the Raspberry Pi RP2040 microcontroller and Trinamic TMC2209 motor driver. This control board has some similarities to a 3D printer control board, but it has some unique issues to solve—including controlling solenoids and communicating with vacuum sensors. All board information is open source, and detailed explanations are provided to help you copy successfully.

High performance open source server ODrive

ODrive is a high-performance FOC servo driver based on STM32. It can drive two brushless motors at the same time. In the early days, it was widely used in the design of 3D printers or homemade CNC lathe electrical systems. The well-known geek James Bruton used it as most of his own To make the core unit of the robot servo drive, Stanford's previous open source 8-degree-of-freedom quadruped robot Doggo also used Odrive as the core driver.

Active video filter

Originally, video filters were passive LC circuits surrounded by amplifiers. Smaller, more efficient designs can currently be achieved by combining the amplifier with an RC filter. Sensitivity analysis and predistortion methods developed in the 1960s have, moreover, overcome the poor performance that gave early video filters a bad reputation.

High performance 1-Wire network driver

This document describes a microcontroller-based 1-Wire® master interface for reliable operation of small, medium, and large 1-Wire networks. This is accomplished using careful impedance matching, intelligent (software-controlled) active pullup, and slew-rate control. Software flow charts are included to assist the user in generating the correct 1-Wire timing for reset pulse, presence detect, write one, write zero, and read time slots using any suitable microcontroller. Scope traces illustrate the timing performance of the driver as well as transmission line effects as they appear with long cables.

Use of MAX4090 with reconstruction filter

In most video applications, the video signal generated from the DAC requires a reconstruction filter to smooth out the signal and attenuate the sampling aliases. The MAX4090 is a direct, DC-coupled output driver, which can be used after the reconstruction filter to drive the video signal. The driving load from the video DAC can be varied from 75Ω to 300Ω. A low input impedance (< 100Ω) is required by the MAX4090 in normal operation, special care must be taken when a reconstruction filter is used in front of the MAX4090.
