Using an Arduino plus the throttle circuitry to control the motor driver …
↓↓↓ Complete description, time index and links below ↓↓↓
In the previous video we’ve cobbled together the throttle control circuit on a breadboard, wrote some Arduino code for it, and tested the whole thing (link below). The next step is to connect it to the motor driver and see what’s happening.
Before we really start we build a temporary head for the outboard and a breakout board for a wire-to-board connector plus a piezo buzzer. Then we test the whole thing, making the propeller spin. Unfortunately the piezo buzzer is not working.
00:00 Intro – time to make the Arduino spin the propeller
00:32 Woodworking – temporary head for the outboard
06:36 Soldering –connector & piezo buzzer breakout board
08:44 Piezo buzzer – sound test using a function generator
09:19 Test 1 – safe power on, but the buzzer isn’t working
12:02 Test 2 – controlling the motor via the Arduino Nano
16:49 Wrap-up – next is solving the piezo mystery, bye
