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...

Improving and calibrating the capacitive water sensor

Image
In a previous article, I explained a type of water level sensor that works capactitively and therefore passes no direct current through the water. When I wrote that article, I had already made two of these sensors and installed one in each of the two sump pump wells in my basement. These sensors have been working quite well for a long time, but they have a few issues. In this article, I will describe the improvements I have made to the sensor design and how I calibrated the sensors to allow me to determine the water flow rate and the volume of water the sump pump pumps each time it comes on. Introduction The two water level sensors I installed in the sump pump wells were equipped with nRF24L01 wireless modules. They transmitted measurements every 30 seconds to a Raspberry Pi, which recorded them to a database. This allowed me to visualize the water level in the sump-pumps in real time and see roughly how often the sump pumps came on. However, the water level followed this interest...
