How Would You RoadTest a Powerful Microcontroller Designed for EV Charging, e-Bikes and Robotics?

rscasny

imageHi All.

I have been in conversation with a roadtest sponsor who is excited to have the community test in the coming year a powerful microcontroller that's designed for industrial applications including VFDs, electrical vehicle (EV) charging, two-wheel electrical vehicles (e-bikes) and robotics. I want to tell you a little about it and give you some resources to review. I'm seeking some ideas of how community members would roadtest the kit. This is important because, in my initial conversation with them, they were wondering what else would be needed to be provided with the kit. Ex. Motor? Sensors? Other?

The kit is based on the Infineon XMC7200 microcontroller and part of the family of XMC7000 microcontrollers, which offer single and dual core options of 350-MHz 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M7 and a 100-MHz 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0+, up to 8 MB of embedded flash and 1 MB of on-chip SRAM. The products operate from 2.7 to 5.5 V and achieve full specification from -40°C to 125°C.

For More Information About The Kit

You would get the following in the kit:

  • XMC7200 evaluation board
  • USB Type-A to Mirco-B cable
  • 12V/3A DC power adapter with additional blades
  • Six jumper wires (five inches each)
  • Quick start guide
  • Other--what else would you need?

Here are some documents for further study:

  • Product Presentation
  • Datasheet
  • Getting Started
  • App Note
  • User Manual
  • Release Notes

    Its an interesting processor and board. There is a lot of stuff in that processor chip - you would be spending a LOT more than 40 hours just reading the data and getting to understand how it works. Then…

    Infineon microcontrollers are absolutely awesome. The older ones used the 'DAVE' programming environment, but these newer ones use Modus Toolbox. The processor is powerful, but Infineon microcontrollers…

    I saw your question the other day. I've been meaning to respond. Sorry for the delay. On occasion, we have provided extra parts in a roadtest kit when the tester requested it. Sometimes e14 pays for the…

    I would get a used power wheels car (which it already an EV) remove the switch gas pedal, and make it an smart EV. Would need some type of ev charge connector to be realistic.

    My ultimate dream is refitting a power wheels style tank, kick out the kids, and making it RC. Would need at least 1 substantial servo > 20kg*cm for steering. I dont think the kiddie tank has a motor per tread, 50 and 100amp H bridges arent bank breakers for motor drivers. Massive sound system for the diesel and tread clanking.

    Now that would be a fun project.

    You have seen Nik Nowak's 'Sound Tank' haven't you ?

    now thats what I'm talking about !   The 1812 Overture could use a speaker like that. 

    The debut being in Miami I'm sure played some Pitbull on it   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaSZE194D4I

    If you want something a little more challenging, i.e. weekend project as opposed to single evening project, then a motorised line array that allows automatic alignment of each segment of the array for optimal sound coverage using machine vision to detect the current space occupancy.
