Cindy Status Report 11/2/19

This week, I worked on the battery management board schematics by reviewing the ASIC and picking out some components to regulate a 48v 15-cell series 18650 lithium ion battery pack that we are planning on using to power the UPMC. In addition to being able to sense the temperature, voltage, and current from every one of the cells, this board also needs to communicate with the Logic Board of the Electric Boogaloo. This means I have to look into connecting…

This week, I got the estimator working to actually commutate the motor and started the process of tuning it. I also have 90% finished the schematics for electric boogaloo and the routing will start after my next midterm. The way that we are sensing the rotor position uses a flux linkage observer, which essentially measures the ratio of the magnetic flux applied to each phase (integral of voltage over time) and compares it to the actual flux moving through the…
