Power distribution unit for my school's FSAE team

Image
Currently, my school's FSAE team uses a Bosch PBX90 to distribute power from the car's low-voltage battery to all low-voltage systems in the car. Its main purpose is to monitor for overcurrents, control the order in which boards are powered when the car is turned on, and control power to certain systems in response to commands it receives over a CAN bus. However, the PBX90 has several limitations that needed to be addressed. First of all, the team plans to use a 24-volt low-voltage battery next year, and the PBX90 only goes up to 20 volts. Additionally, the vertical connectors made packaging more difficult and are generally more difficult to use than the Ampseal connectors we use on the rest of our boards. Finally, the PBX90 costs several thousand dollars, so manufacturing an equivalent board in-house would also save money. Thus, I volunteered to design a power distribution unit (PDU) to replace the Bosch PBX90 in next year's and in future ca...

Controlling a washing machine motor with an Arduino

Image
In a modern washing machine, the moter that spins the drum is controlled by a motor driver, which is separate from the main control board that manages the washing cycle. The main control board sends commands that set the speed of the motor, and the motor driver generates the three-phase power needed for the motor and regulates the speed of the motor. In this article I will explain how I reverse engineered the motor driver (Magnetek 4246-99-1) from a washing machine and then controlled it with an Arduino. Reverse engineering the original setup In the washing machine, the motor driver received mains power through a relay on the main control board. The motor driver was controlled by the main control board via a 5-pin cable. The pinout is shown in the image below: The main control board communicates with the motor driver using an SPI bus. Data is transmitted in bytes with the most-significant-bit first. On the rising edge of the clock signal, the main board updates the signal on the MO...

Powering mains-voltage LED Christmas lights from a 12 volt battery

Image
In this article I will present an inverter circuit I built to power mains-voltage LED light strings from a 12 volt battery. Unlike a traditional inverter, this device operates at a higher frequency, eliminating flicker in cheap LED light strings. The device can also switch the output of the inverter through a TRIAC, allowing the device to be programmed to vary the brightness of the light string. Depending on the configuration of the LED lights in the string, it can also vary the brightnesses of different parts of the LED string independently of one another. The schematic can be downloaded here and the program for the ATTiny can be downloaded here Principle of operation Generating the high voltage This inverter uses a transformer to generate a high voltage from a 12 volt power supply. This is done by switching the low-voltage coil of the transformer through an H-bridge, which consists of 2 N-channel MOSFETS and 2 P-channel MOSFETS: On the left, we have a 500Hz source that drives ...
