This instructable explains how to build your own 100 HP (peak) motor controller
for use in an electric car or motorcycle conversion. It can take any voltage up to
144v, and the peak current is 500 amps. The cost of the components is a few
hundred dollars, which means you can save over $1000 by putting one together
yourself. At 144v, you can expect a top speed of around 75 MPH in a car.

Do all the drilling! It may help to take the big aluminum bar to a machine shop,
since it's not easy drilling through 1.5" of aluminum accurately. See all the

the electronics attached, just so you can see how it all fits:

Materials:
45 or 60 watt soldering iron.
0.032" diameter (or so) rosin core solder
This step takes about 3 or 4 hours. It's very unforgiving. If you have never
soldered before, you should get help with this. The ground plane doesn't have
"thermals", so it takes some heat to melt the solder to it. Check out this help file
for soldering the control board. See pages 2 through 19:

Watch for solder bridges (when big globs of solder bridge isolation gaps). Also,
you may want to socket the ATMega168. You can program the ATMega168 insystem. So, you can solder it in, and then program it if you want to. Or you can
get one preprogrammed.
This video walks you through soldering the control board from start to finish:

Once the ATMega168 arrives with all the other stuff, you need to program it with
the motor controller code. Either make your own code, or use/modify the code
below.
You can make a very cheap ATMega168 programmer, or buy an AVRISP MK2:

(http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=2725)
The hex file of the code is available here. Use "coug-unified-16k.hex":

Here's the code:
http://ecomodder.com/wiki/index.php/Open_ReVolt/Software
(http://ecomodder.com/wiki/index.php/Open_ReVolt/Software)
The fuse bits are Extended High Low = F8 DC F7. But if you are using
Ponyprog, the fuse bits are 08 DC F7.
If you don't want to bother to program it yourself, then you can buy a
preprogrammed one.

There are quite a few parts to this process. The short version is, you need to
bolt together all of metal parts, and solder the 10 MOSFETs, 10 freewheel
diodes, 16 large electrolytic capacitors, and 3 snubber capacitors to the power
board. Please see pictures below and the assembly help file, pages 20 through
43 for all the gory details. You will need a 200 or 250w soldering gun:

Hey,
(/member/afbcom/)
Just a thought, you could eliminate a lot of voltage spike issues by mounting the
controller as close to the motor as possible. Any time the length of the wire
between the motor controller exceeds the diameter of the wire, the collapse
current becomes significant. Since Vpeak = di/dt, and you have a peak current of
~500 amps, if your switching time is <1ms which I'm guessing it is, this will result in
a spike of 500 000 volts! These voltage spikes can damage the control circuitry.
This is assuming that you are having voltage spike issues to begin with.
Regardless it is typically a good idea to mount the power control board as close as
possible to the motor.

I've done some voltage spike tests, and at 500amp, the spikes are
about 20 or 25v, so it's not too bad. I'm using 200v components, so at
(/member/MPaulHolmes/)
144v, I'm still a fair distance away from danger. The nice thing is,
under heavy current, the battery pack voltage sags, so the net result is
that the voltage spikes are about 20 or 25v above like 135v in the
worst case.

Just a little correction on the math for the voltage spike. The voltage is V =
where L is the inductance of the wire. For a couple of feet of wire
this could be around 1uH (microHenry = 10e-6). So for a 1mSec switching
time you would have 0.5V, and for a 1uSec switching time you would have
a 500V spike. So it is worth being careful about, but not as severe as your
calculation.

Scooter".
(/member/DieCastoms/)
I need a motor controller for 24 volts that will run the thing either from a wired
throttle or eventually a servo output from an RC receiver OR an actual servo
mechanically coupled to a pot that is wired to the controller (This should give
perfectly isolated power from the vehicle's 24 volt system and the RC's 6 volt
system, yes?)
I WANT to have the option to run it via RC or to be able to plug in a wired
controller because the vehicle will be large enough to sit on when complete.
Can someone please suggest a source for such a controller? I DO NOT have
the original controller from the Mobility Scooter, or I would gladly just use it. I
know I could buy another controller for the chair or a similar model, but I
would like to see what else gets suggested, first.
Thank You!
DieCastoms.

I have a 36v forklift motor, I was wondering if this would suffice for a electric car?

Hi,
A quadrant
(/member/steveastrouk/)
is the measure of
motoring and generating, in
forward and reverse.
1st quadrant. is motoring
forward, 2nd quadrant is
motoring backwards, 3rd is
generating backwards, and 4th
is generating forwards.
You can implement 1st and 2nd
quadrant with a relay, you can't
do 3 and 4th without a full
bridge.
So essentially, can you do
regenerative braking ?
