ACT -Brushless Adapter (ACT -BLA)

ACT -Brushless Adapter Hardware

The ArduMower ACT -Brushless Adapter (ACT -BLA) is a special connection adapter, to connect the ACT-Brushless DC motor Driver BLDC-8015A[1] with the PCB1.x.

ArduMower ACT-Brushless Adapter V1.0 (Stand30.09.2020) with BLDC-8015A connectors (blue PCBs).

The main different to the standard ArduMower Brushless Adapter, the ACT Version does not get the 24V motor power over the PCB 1.x. The power will be connected directly to the ACT -BLA (left clamp with red cable).

Important, connect the power over a fuse to the ACT -BLA, because there is no protection against over current. 

It is recommended that the voltage is not over 32V max. otherwise a damage can occur.

Sunray code changes:

TICKS_PER_REVOLUTION:

This parameter depends on the gearbox you are using and on the motor. If you don’t know the number of ticks per resolution, you should start with a value of ~750 and check it with AT+E tool of the sunray software / console function.

For additional information go to the Sunray wiki[2], section "Odometry test"

 #define TICKS_PER_REVOLUTION  750 // odometry ticks per wheel revolution

Uncomment this parameter for brushless, too:
