Full Spectrum Laser Muse: Fail - Gantry Crash ODrive Robotics 2017-06-28 | The software is really quite unreliable and buggy.The latest in the addition: y-axis coordinate offset due to software/firmware error, leading to y-axis gantry crash.The perimeter check looks good...Then when it starts cutting, it just slaps on a 100mm offset... It also cut way too high up, and when it inevitably runs out of space going further up, the gantry just crashes, no tripping of endstops or anything. Lucky us that the steppers are really weak...

Brushless Servo Drive With Energy Storage ODrive Robotics 2014-06-11 | This video is of the masters project that was the beginning of the ODrive project: https://odriverobotics.comMasters project abstract:The project investigates the utility of energy storage for high speed servo actuators, especially for pick and place applications.The aim is to see if the automation industry can employ regenerative techniques for significant energy efficiency improvements.The project involves sourcing the components and building a linear actuator with a 3 kg mass as a load, and a top speed of 3 m/s.The brake resistor normally used to absorb the kinetic energy of the actuator is replaced with an ultra-capacitor bank.A microcontroller is used to control a 3-phase bridge which drives a permanent magnet brushless motor which is used in the actuator.Using appropriate modeling of the motor characteristics, the controller uses vector control and an open loop approach to controlling the current, which simplifies the drive circuitry.The project uses standard models found in literature for permanent magnet brushless motors, and a simple model for the ultra-capacitor bank and the 3-phase bridge, to estimate the efficiency that can be gained by using energy storage.The results obtained by these models are compared against experiment, and the value of adding energy storage is calculated.To keep the cost of the actuator low, hobby grade brushless motors were used, and therefore an additional outcome of this project is a very inexpensive yet powerful servo motor and drive system, which could be relevant for the emerging home and laboratory automation community.
