thanks rick for pointing out reverse location already posted, overlooked it, can add regen braking ( abs ) and and 60/120 select (12/6)to the list, still a few unknown pins left to go
So far, I have two blown FETs (V3 and V5 both have all 3 leads shorted together), F1 blown, E2 blown, and the power vias between V4 and D1 are blown open. They carry the current from that small power plane to the solder blob "bus" on the other side of the board. My T's and N's seem okay. Be careful; not all the transistors are alike but you can still match them up with another motor phase elsewhere on the board.monster said:i narrowed it down to two FET's that have shorted (shorted across all legs)
calinb said:I'm also curious if it would be safe to solder up the shunt part way across for more current with the 12 4110s. Has anyone done this on a Ver. 2 yet?
Do you mean to use the "reverse" for braking?solarbbq2003 said:thanks rick for pointing out reverse location already posted, overlooked it, can add regen braking ( abs ) and and 60/120 select (12/6)to the list, still a few unknown pins left to go
The7 said:d) The "reverse" firing may be also used as braking. It has the greatest effect of braking and could easily cause structural damage. It could bring the e-bike to a dead-stop and then reverse it. All the energy is dissipated as heat in the resistance of the motor. This may be termed as "plugging" .
I am afraid that it is your dream. Using "reverse" will only generate heat.Knuckles said:I was hoping for that. Will it regen the bats or just generate motor stator heat. I thought it would regen.
solarbbq2003 said:the abs pin on the board is for regen braking ( not related to reversing function),
it uses the inductive method I assume via pwm to induce back emf for the regen current.
Simply have to put a wire from the abs pin to one of your brake handle cut off switches and another wire back to the ground connection pins in right hand bottom corner of board and you have regen braking when brake handle is applied.
I think its not a very efficient method of making regen but makes a hell of a good brake, will hardly make any difference to range unless you start getting into supercaps.
The7 said:Individual gate resistor for FET?
From the picture, it seems that FET 3 and FET 4 use a common gate resistor E2 ( 51 ohm).
So V2 would have common gate resistors for the parallel FETs.
Glad if Fechter could verify this.
These FETs are MOSFETs and they require individual gate resistors to suppress "parasitic oscillation".
Parasitic oscillation will cause irregular firing and damage the FETs themselves.
Common gate resistor for parallel FETs is not good enough.
Besides V2, Shenzhen controller seems also has common gate resistors.
Oh! Maybe it was The7 who posted the pic orininally:monster said:thats just a picture i stole from earlier in the thread.
heres my board. do you spot anything missing?

Interesting that C14 is missing.
They're installed on my board.
calinb said:"Common gate resistors seems to be the case. How bad is this?"
Maybe someone has a recommendation but I was contemplating finding a transistor curve tracer to borrow and then matching to a good fit from a datasheet, but I think my transistors survived.monster said:anyone know what to replace T5 with? part number?
