    Plettenberg Nova motors and MST controllers: 15, 30, 150kW

    Thats the MST140-200. We piggybacked our own controller consisting of a DAC and current sensor. Along with some PID control we have a torque control of sorts.

    Plettenberg Nova motors and MST controllers: 15, 30, 150kW

    Sorry for the late update, developing a hybrid vehicle is quite some work. But the result does sound pretty good. The vehicle is a carbon monocoque and features an AWD topology with two 15kw novas coupled to a 3:1 planetary reduction built into the wheel upright, and a rear single cylinder 250cc...

    Seemingly. Eventually we will tie our two 10kw psus together and get max power.

    Plettenberg Nova motors and MST controllers: 15, 30, 150kW

    So after tying all the signal grounds to the same ground plane serial communication seems a lot more stable. But we're still controlling with analog, just because it is a lot quicker than serial. Previously we had both of the motco's tied to the same psu to test regenerative braking. Now one...

    Plettenberg Nova motors and MST controllers: 15, 30, 150kW

    Yup, used the cables already provided on the controller which were to spec, hooked it straight to supply. Initially I used another power supply to give the controllers 5v. But later just let the internal DC/DC handle powering the controller. 10Kw supply, going to hook another one in parallel...

    Going to use these for wheel motors because they're so small and light. Reduce transient effects when the wheels are in rebound. https://app.box.com/s/jygc73gd0zaedocwxhuk

    Plettenberg Nova motors and MST controllers: 15, 30, 150kW

    Two Nova 15s (SN000001 and SN000002), with the corresponding MST controllers. Currently controlling them through serial interface, not liking it, will try analog control coming week. Through serial interface all I can do is "PWM" control no speed or torque control, which baffles me. Had some...

    Pardon the atrocious setup, I'll tell you guys how these baby's turn out after some testing.
