I have done a lot of soldering of small components and if you don't want to go the whole paste mask route I suggest you get some 0.35mm solder instead of the 0.56 or 0.71 which you are using, it dramatically reduces blobs and bridging. Also for soldering QFN's and SOIC's it's advisable to use a no clean gel Flux, I use Multi-core BGA flux but there are others. I also like to use a low temperature solder (~180C). as it flows much nicer and reduces risk of thermal damage if you have to do rework.

Thank you, this is an outstanding project. I'm adding it to my build list. It looked like the servo is overshooting the position somewhat. I saw a feature you may want to consider researching and/or implementing. I think it was James Bruton who programmed the controller to half the remaining rotational distance and go there, half it again, half it again.... That would allow the servo to ramp down and stop the servo at a more precise point.

a PID would be better but that would take a bit more of your MCU

I recommend using a switching power regulator instead of a linear one. Reason is that the voltage doesn’t have to be super precise and switching regulators don’t waste the power from converting 12 V to 5 V.

I don't see that as a big problem here. The only notable devices using 5 V are the atmega, as5600 and the led. I asume all these components together draw less than 10 mA (atmega is 0.5 mA, as5600 is 6.5 mA). The voltage difference is 12V - 5V = 7V and 7V * 0.01 A = 70 mW of power wasted. This is nothing compared to what the motor uses.

I was thinking that too. It should definitely not be overshooting that much with such slow movement. The whole point of a servo like this is having fast movement with positional accuracy. Considering he's using a multiturn encoder it might even be smarter measuring the angle of the motor shaft before the gear reduction. That might add some mechanical challenges of where to place the PCB though.

​@@nrdesign1991no, you will still know the absolute position of the output shaft since you know the gear ratio, as he is using a multiturn encoder. Play in the gears can also not be compensated either way, because even when measuring the output shaft there's nothing the motor can do about it

Excellent explanation. Here, take my subscription.

The way to solder microcontroller pins is not one by one, but add a decent amount of soldering tin basically soaking multiple legs by keeping the tin liquid, tilt the board to use the gravity and just pull the soldering iron slowly, it will attract the tin and leave just enough tin on the pins. I usually start soldering the microcontrollers to my boards and then the smaller parts. Nice project as usual! Thank you for sharing!

Great video

Super informative video ... thank you. Personally, I'd have made a couple of changes: 1. My opinion: the 328p has been over-hyped because of the Arduino community, but by today's standards it has some issues, so I'd use something else. Being 8 bits is probably not an issue here, but it's more expensive than 32 bit alternatives, such as the CH32V003 or the ESP32-C3. Besides this, Atmel(Microchip) debuggers are 'really' expensive and the 328p is very easy to brick. Even one of the newer ATTiny chips would be a better choice. 2. I had an issue with pcbway, so I much prefer JLCPCB. They are very reliable, high quality and probably cheaper anyway. They just don't advertise as much. Otherwise, Great project ... looking forward to more.

The 328P not 'hyped' as much as it is easy to leverage a ton of available code and support. I put it in a lot of my commercial designs, not because it is amazing, but rather because it is easy. I have a lot of code ready to go so firmware dev cycles are short and the final performance is easy to predict.

very well done

Please which software do you use to draw the pcb and 3d redering. Which software did you use to design the circuit diagram

Curious if you have tested the torque of this new servo. Are the gears PETG or PLA? Great video. Hoping you make a video creating a servo (close loop positional) BLDC 3 phase motors used in drones and hoverboards!! Seems that is what they use for a lot of robots axis these days.

Great job! Is the center position permanently stored even without power supply?

@HowToMechatronics

7 ай бұрын

Thanks! Well the default center position is always the same, even after power loss because it depends on the magnet orientation. However those new center positions that we can set with the push button are not stored, they are lost with power loss. However, that can be easily solved, we can store last center position value in the EEPROM of the microcontroller.

Can you fit all that on a 8 pin tiny? The 5th pin can be fused for use in logic. I cant imagine youd need more than 5 pins on that 328p.

Great video, could you make a tutorial Video on Arduino cnc shield?

Can this board be made to use potentiometers tho? I rehab robot toys and the vast majority of the motors used are DC servos but unlike hobby servos, the controller circuitry is on the often broken main board. so i have 3 potentiometer wires and 2 motor wires and rather than take apart good hobby servos and use their boards for this, i want to make a drop in replacement thats like the boards in servos. can your circuit support potentiometers rather than magnetic encoder?

This is a fun project, but I thought the AS5600 was supposed to be pretty good, within 1deg, looks like you're getting a ton of slop, 5-10deg in your position control?

Which program do you use to draw schematic at 8:34

If you plan to use this on a battery powered device, I would steer clear of linear regulators like the AMS1117, and instead opt for an equivalent switching regulator.

What are the benefits and tradeoffs of such a project as opposed to simply buying a servo with the features you desire? Wouldn't this burn out the DC motor if you use it to rapidly swing back and forth?

can you show a closed loop diagram with feedback?

Would this drive a treadmill motor? They are 12 volts. I don't know about the amperage.

I wonder how easy it would be to code an auto calibration routine, where the motor spins up as fast as at it can, stops as quickly as it can, and measures the overshoot to calibrate the PID values? Have a button that you have to hold down and power the device up to run the calibration :D So many possibilities with this. Even adding an option for BLDC motors. This is a great video :D

This is an engineering marvel. @howtomechatronics... question... how do you "home" this servo? Do you need an endstop? I'm asking on the continuous rotation mode.

We need to read real time temperature on the remote control then order the motor move to adjust speed of blower by the remote control ,can you?

I have the boards I ordered from PCBway (a great company BTW) and am getting the components together. A few things though, can you provide a more complete schematic that corresponds to the component numbers on the PCB? I am having to reverse engineer the board to match all of the capacitor and resistor values with the diagram provided, and it is very time consuming and can lead to mistakes. Also, there are many components that you don't source (i.e. center select button, chip resistors with sizing, SMD electrolytic capacitor, etc.) I had to research the chip resistors and found they were 0805 resistors, which would have been nice to know beforehand, as I already had 0402's on hand and thought they would work before I received the boards. Anyway, other than that I love this project and am looking forward to working on it.

It would be cool if it were possible to use the bldc motor.

Can this pcb with components available

When soldering SMD components, tin only a single pad and solder the device to it. Then the other pads can then be soldered while the IC is being held in the right position by the first connection. DON'T tin multiple pads, as the bumps of tin will prevent correct positioning of the device.

Why the huge overshoot? Have you seen openServo?

The servomotor knows it's current position at all times...

The servo in the video has quite a bit of overshoot. But that's just a matter of PID tuning

I think you just need a smaller soldering iron tip and you would have no problem with these smaller components.

Is the code somewhere posted?
