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:

  • Datasheet
  • Getting Started
  • App Note

    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 am planning to purchase an electric cycle next summer so if this road test overlapped with that purchase I would try to do comparison tests between this controller and a commercial controller.

    This powerful module/kit is not a complete charging controller, so there would be a lot of work to design and build it into a useful charging controller. No doubt it could be a much smarter and better connected controller than a normal commercial controller, but it is not clear how much could be accomplished in a typical road test period.

    I have not researched this module enough yet to determine if I would take on such an ambitious project.
