The custom designed evaluation/development boards appear to be functioning!
So far the boards have been tested for correct function of the motor drive circuit. This testing has been carried out at bench level using a small signal generator to provide the 15kHz PWM motor drive waveform. They spool up to full rpm and are smoothly controllable across the rpm range. A very good result.
Next I will test correct function of the brakes - here the objective is to test for fully adjustable braking strength - again using PWM signals.
The most important aspect of the evaluation/development boards is that they are small enough to fit inside 1/32 scale digital slot-cars.
After brake testing they will be fitted into digital slot-cars for track level trials.
Exciting…
