Project Overview Custom High Voltage Motor Controller Low Total cost for controller when compared to market options Develop a GUI for interfacing and configuring controller Compatible with many different applications
In this project will we be designing the architecture and implementation of a motor controller for lightweight automotive use.
Related Products Komodo Brushless Motor Speed Controller DC Tritium WaveSculptor22 Mitsuba 2096-III Very expensive Very expensive Relatively affordable Designed specifically for Mitsuba motors Jack of all trades, master of none Doesn't reach high enough voltage for some applications Very difficult to use Useful documentation Built for scooters Doesn't support common features (CAN, cruise) Fairly easy to configure for specific applications Lacks configurations
Market Gap Opportunities Lack of proper documentation makes integrating motor controllers difficult Many of these are black boxes that makes troubleshooting difficult Users want to easily implement their controllers but often can't Motor controllers for higher power applications have affordability issues EV bikers may have issues modifying/constructing bikes on budget Solar vehicle teams need to raise large amounts of money for motor controllers alone despite needing funds for other components/services Most motor controllers are either difficult to configure or do not allow for custom configurations Different vehicles have different needs depending on physical/electrical specs Users are forced to design around motor controllers
New Ideas Configurations easily accessible and well documented Customizing the motor controller allows easy integration for different applications Clear documentation leads users to understand the expected results Full Plug-in diagnostics Allows for better troubleshooting Documentation on troubleshooting measures reduces frustration Design the controller with affordability in mind
Conclusion This project can aim to achieve a fully functioning lightweight automotive motor controller through proper documentation, using affordable components, and making plug in diagnostics a priority to troubleshoot any issues the controller will have. These features will close the gap between our project and what is currently on the market tremendously, creating a viable alternative to current automotive motor controllers.
