- added possbility to switch the Control mode while motor is spinning. NOT yet checked how motors behaves when swiching is triggered!
- added Cruise Control functionality: activated by button1 to GND (Blue Left or Right cable depending on selection). Functionality NOT yet tested in practice!
- extended Phase current measurements z_selPhaCurMeasABC : {iA,iB} = 0; {iB,iC} = 1; {iA,iC} = 2
- added interface for external motor angle measurement from as sensor, e.g., encoder. The selection can be done via b_angleMeasEna: 0 = Estimated (default), 1 = Measured.
- update the Field weakening Lo and Hi to fully blended.
- minor improvements:
- Buttons initialization
- lowered ADC margins in auto-calibration
- commented out ADC_SAMPLETIME_239CYCLES_5, reported to give some issues when Hall sensor ADC input is used
Major:
- created HOVERCAR variant (selectable via platformio.ini) for driving via 2 pedals: Brake (on cmd1) and Throttle (on cmd2)
- implemented "Double tapping" on Brake pedal to engage Reverse driving
- implemented that Brake pedal stops the vehicle but does not go to Reverse, to prevend unintended Reverse driving
- implemented ADC Protection when GND and Vcc wire are disconnected. The functionality can be enabled/disabled via #define ADC_PROTECT_ENA
- updated error handling: in case of major error the motors will be disabled for improved safety
Minor:
- fixed bug on low-pass filter for not reaching exact "0" value
- calibrated the ADC Battery voltage reading
- other minor visual updates
- reduced FOC computational complexity by up to 20%, from 85% (old) to 65% (new)
- updated Field Weakening by allowing more freedom set-up: field weakening blended in the input fully, partially blended, or fully outside the input range
- major improvemets on current and speed limitations. It allows seemless limitation protection -> very happy with the result
Sinusoidal Control Type is now available is this branch. To select it go in config.h and change CTRL_TYP_SEL to 1. By default FOC control type is selcted.
Note: SPEED and TORQUE modes are not available for Sinusoidal control type.
Major:
• all PI controllers with Back-calculation replaced with PI controllers with Clamping to reduce the number of parameters and simplify calculations
Minor:
• fixed the ADC calibration for potetiometer input when ADCx_MIN > 0
• fixed bug: small shock at initialization when current limit I_MOT_MAX is set very small e.g. 1 A
Major:
- Issue #3: added raw ADC1, ADC2 values to the setScopeChannel
- Issue #4: added functionality for joystick control. Middle resting potis are now supported (by default it is enabled)
- Issue #6: implemented that board does not power-off after a software reset due to flashing
- added Rate constraints for Input target for smoother response
Minor:
- added 2 beep sound when motors get enabled
- minor bugfixes
