Paul & Sabrina's cheap DIY 144v motor controller

[tinkerdave]

Hey, pretty far out to have you guys willing to help.

I make a motion that Charlie fd works on the control section, ZeroGasoline works on the power section and that they confir on the side so both sections follow the same standars.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

Ok, I added the components to the power section to a table section in the wiki. I included the link to the components as well.

Good work on the power page Adam. I'll spend some time here and get the control section into the same format.

Hey Zero, I was just working on that too and was just going to add it under what was there now for approval.

Adam,
I think we overlapped work a bit. I think my version eventually saved. I took all the info from the spreadsheet and added it in so it was formatted the same way that your was. That makes it a bit easier to edit later on.

Ok, I added the table of the control section to the page under what was there already. I did not delete the existing info because I did not want to step on any toes. I did not have a chance yet to check and make sure everything is perfect, I will compare it later to the excel sheet and make sure. Also, the code needs come cleaning up and I will also get to that later. I will also be adding the links for all the components like in the power section. This will take awhile as there is alot of different components. LOL. I hope to be able to work on it in a few hours.

Paul,
When do you plan on releasing the gerber files? There is a website called BatchPCB - Home that specializes in small qty orders of circuit boards. You upload your designs and a DRC bot(Design Rule Check Bot) checks the files to make sure they match the required specs. Then you are able to order your board, now, 2 weeks from now, whenever and how ever often you like. One of the best parts is that you can make your board available to anybody. They can add your board to their order. Here is one of my boards I designed a few months ago: Products

I think it would cost about 74 bucks to get one made.

EDIT: Looks great Zero. Are you going to do the links or would you like me to?

I'll work on it. I don't have much to offer other than my excellent data entry skills so I'll do all that I can.

You guys are hilarious! This is some serious human power going on here! I have the gerber files, but it's in a zip format that is too big for attaching here. Could someone give me an email address that I can send them to, and then that person can magically make the gerber files appear some place? haha!

You can send them to me if you'd like Paul. I'll try to find a way to get them on the wiki. If I can't upload them there directly (I'm not sure I'll be able to) than I can host the files on one of my webservers and link to it from the wiki.

Also, if you have any recent schematics I can post those out on the wiki also.

EDIT: Sorry, my email is "contact at zerogasoline dot com"

Yeah, data entry is great! I'm glad I don't do that for a living

So the two BOM sections are done. As soon as I get data for the rest I'll post that also.
