E-Bike ESC - CODE
23/07/2020 | Views: 29841 | Arduino | by: ELECTRONOOBS      


This version of the code has minimum speed detection but it doesn't have speed limit yet. It has only current limit with the feedback from the ACS712. The code starts with the BJT turned ON so we have GND at the MSOFETs gate so those would be OFF. Then, according to the throttle pot, we increase the PWM signal, which is inverter, 255 to 0 instead of 0 to 255, because the BJT acts as an inverter. We only activate the PWM signal if the speed is higher than a certain value and throttle is in the lowest position. We do this for saferty. We don't want the motor to start from 0, that will put it into humming mode and draw so much current it could burn the circuit. So, first, the user should pedal a bit and then accelerate. Read more in the code.

You can download the code from below or just copy+paste it from below as well.


Brushed ESC code (23/07/2020)

Arduino ESC for Electronic Bike

  Current limit: I'm using the 20A ACS712 so the multiplier is 0.100V. Change that
  below if you use a differen one. Then change your current limit if you want.

  RPM limit: I'm assuming the wheel has a magnet and a hall sensor. That means one
  pulse per rotation. In my case I've place limit of RMPs to 20, that means 20 wheel
  rotations per minute. If you have a different sensor that would create more than one
  pulse per rotation, change that value. For example: If your sensor creates 5 pulses
  each rptation, you should set rpm_limit to 5*20 = 100 if you want 20 rotation limit

  PWM pulse: The pwm is invertet because we use a NPN BJT at the MOSFET gate with a pullup.
  If you change the scheamtic to a PNP and a pulldown, just go below and where you see
  analogWrite(PWM, 255 - pwm_value); just change that to analogWrite(PWM, pwm_value);
  That would invert the PWM signal
