Would You Be Interested in Roadtesting an Automotive 3-Phase Motor Gate Driver EVM?

I am wondering if the RoadTester Group would be interested in roadtesting an Automotive 3-Phase Motor Gate Driver Evaluation Module.

It's specifically used for designing 3-phase BLDC motor gate drivers for automotive applications.

I would be looking for people who are interested in automotive applications. And also people who are really into motor control.

I'm trying to gauge the interest in the RoadTester group for this type of EVM.

Thanks.

I've been wanting to robot-ize an electric golf cart or mobility scooter, so I'm interested because this seems to fit the theme.
(I've also been wanting to electric-convert an old VW, but that dream has since been put on the back shelves of my mind.)

However, I don't yet have that main platform to build on (the golf cart or scooter), so the timing it not right for me. Could've sure used it to robot-plow my driveway this winter!!

Oh yes, this would be very fine.
Until then, I can prepare the mechanics and PC.

Thanks for the comment. I think we would need to provide some kind of load.

Gerald,

This is interesting. Let me pass it on to the supplier.

Hi,
I'm interested, because for a next project I'm planning to build a voltage generator for E-Bikes.
With this module i will make a generator driver, a work bench, for the laboratory.
In December last year I've downloaded the manuals.

Best Regards,
Gerald

As Kas said, the issue is the associated items you'd need to work with this such as a motor and some kind of mechanical load or braking system. I don't really have a spare car to experiment on but I can see this would have potential around the workshop for a milling spindle or powering a lathe

Lots of really interesting applications with this one, the hard part is with a controller you need something to control. I'm not sure to many people have a 3-phase BLDC motor laying around.
