Hi. My brain hurts and I'm starting to think I'm crazy for attempting this, due to how few specific information I've been able to find, so honestly, even if someone could just put me out of my misery and tell me it's a lost cause, I would greatly appreciate that.
Anyway, I have a brushless motor with hall sensors, that is 25w, 100vdc and I was not expecting the prices of a controller to be so steep to run this thing.
I would like to know how difficult it would be to use an arduino to control the speed, while the higher voltages are run though a separate means to get to the motor?
I have spent the last 2 weeks learning enough to know how to run a brushless motor with an aftermarket controller. I also have an idea of how tricky controlling it with the arduino could be but I am a noob when it comes to arduino things, so I don't really know.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
It's for an immersion blender upgrade, for anyone curious.
The rc one's seemed to be so expensive. Do you know how to tell what kind of power a motor would have under load? Are the rc good in that respect, cause I'm going to a lot of trouble for this blender, I want it to have the capacity to obliterate whatever I stick it in!
I also have this one (https://www.motiondynamics.com.au/ultra-high-33-800rpm-brushless-dc-motor.html), which I have the same power problem with, so the initial questions are all still there... Even though it did come with the controller, the controller had no option for variable speed... and I also fried something on the board and killed it -face palm-
It's starting to become a moral thing now but besides brushless having lower maintenance, less noise and all that, brushed motors create the dusty shit that come off the brushes from wear. Which isn't ideal for a motor that's around food prep
