Delta_G:
What? Do something sensible based on real experience and knowledge about engineering? No, this OP isn't concerned with that. He's got a "safety protocol".
Thanks for asking about safety protocols.
Just a quick outline of what i am planning on doing, is 4 modules all communicating on a can-bus line.
-
Throttle control - only responsible for reading three buttons to determine direction of motion and a poteniometer for speed control of the motor.
-
Motor control - only responsible for speed control of the motor
-
Main ECU - Used to coordinate data and out put to a touch screen
-
Power shut down- literally just a can bus controlled relay
All the modules will be able to cross communicate. My theory behind this would be to allow for example the throttle unit to fail, but still be able to control the motor using the touch screen. Or if there was a failure say to the can-bus line itself all the units would sense that there is a problem and be able to shut them self down safely.
Like i said just a quick out line, i think i will start another thread over in the projects forum so i can extend this some more.
Thanks for asking about safety.
Obviously Delta you just can't figure out there is this thing called prototyping, got start some where. Maybe the problem is you talk to a lot of people on this forum that plain do not know what they are doing, and there fore you have this attitude that every one is stupid and planing on doing stupid things.
At this point i would like to ask that if you have feeling about this project that makes you uncomfortable in helping, then please refrain from posting your negative attitude about this project. I am open to constructive criticism but at this point i just feel as though you are just trying to harass me.
