Motor wiring to prevent back feed Cytron

Hey Jussi did you ever get it to work? I’ve done 2 and they both didn’t work after. Could I have heated it too much when soldering? Maybe someone can spot the problem.

It looks good, we will wait for @Jussi reply.

Now that this is done it will not work unless it gets commanded by the Arduino to wake up. So the test buttons should not function unless its told to be awake at the same time.

It looks like the ones I am building.

you put red wire on pwm2 ?

No. Red not used. Yellow to Dir1 white to Pwm 1 black to ground. Auto steer worked good till I did that mod.

The red from pwm2 is needed, it should get it working.

I think your welding is wrong.

Either trace seems to work @buched has it working soldered there.

Ah ok will try that. Thought I had read somewhere it wasn’t needed. I see on your picture now you used it. Thanks

Hi! Yes, it worked for me like described by others. I haven’t yet had the time to install it to my tractor, but desktop setup works. I was confused in the beginning because the test buttons didn’t work anymore, but it doesn’t mean that in real life it wouldn’t work. When testing with the simulator, remember to put the steering on (steering wheel green in lower right corner).

My mistake was not using the red wire. Works now.

Hi! Recently interested in AOG so replying to your thread back in 2021. I still can’t figure out the correct points to connect. You responded to the post (by Steigerguy) here being wrong (though PotatoFarmer indicated Steigerguy did it right) and provided a link to the correct one. I am putting the two images together below as well as a 3rd with high res image from the internet.

So the one on the left is the correct one and the one in the middle is wrong? So that is connecting NC with the encircled red will be the right connection? The two red X means what? Referring to the image on the right, so to prevent the cytron from applying a brake, soldering a piece of wire between NC and the rightmost leg of the resistor should do it? Thanks.

Both trace locations have been reported as functional

On the right picture the diode and resistor must be removed.

Both are good

Thanks all! The details in the figure is much appreciated.


This one is mine

Nacho is your AOG functional for sometime already? I am still starting my journey and would appreciate guidance on how to proceed. I take it your board is the kaupoi v4.1. You assembled it yourself? By any chance I can get a board with all the components soldered in. I did some soldering but is terrible at it. If you or others know where I can get one, will appreciate it very much.
