No problem :) Let me know if you need any help!

I don’t think the PWM on the arduino is slow for your application. Motors are actually great for filtering. Even if the current is not filtered, mechanically it is so slow that you can go as low as 100Hz and still drive the motor acceptably well.

I also worry about the LM7818. It drops about 6V, so at 330mA it burns 2W, which seems like the maximum for the package that I quickly pulled up. If you have a very efficient buck converter that gives you at most about 1A to drive the motor. Not a lot of overhead.

Also as I said already, you could just skip the whole thing and make everything work from the 24V using PWM. Since you want to drive it with an arduino that is not a difficult thing.

If I were you, I would not step down the 24V, but use that to drive the motor with pwm. It requires a bit different H bridge but overall it would be simpler. But if you already have a converter module that is good enough this works too.

In that case I would omit the extra transistors and use only the optocouplers.

What sort of application is this? Having 18V somewhere and a 5V supply too that can output several amps is quite unusual.

Obviously. No idea what I was thinking.

Is it okay that there is no stop state? It can only drive the motor in either direction, bit there is no OFF state with your inputs.

Please don’t use non perpendicular lines and draw in a clearer software if possible. Its quite hard to read.

What is the point of the push-pull BJTs? With the optocoupler you could drive the nmos gates directly. If you need more current to drive the gates (unlikely for a small motor), I suggest you buy dedicated gate drivers. They are tested and not expensive. If you have the 18V available already, using the optocouplers directly would be a lot simpler.

I think the real solution is repairable gadgets. A microusb port costs pennies and if the phones were repairable at all, it would be a 5 minute solder job. The same is true for USB C as well. It might be more durable, but it can still break and it feels so stupid to replace a decive because a single cheap part broke.

I liked microusb. I don’t know what everyone is doing with their connectors, but I never had any contact issues.

Sounds impossible. The way they turn the screen red is by reducing the blue light transmitted through the LCD panel. You cant turn the screen red and keep the blue light at the same time.

Unless its an oled screen. Then it is a stupid implementation. You could just reduce the blue light then.

Does it find itself?

archbtw is a great hostname

What anime is this? (i also agree)

But a reasonable person would not consider a child capable of driving. An “extremeley advanced algorithm that is better and safer than humans and everyone should use it” is very different in this case. Aftet hearing all the stupid fluff, it is not unreasonable to think that selfdrivong is good.

That is exacly what they try to achieve, satansmaggotycumfart.

Hungry for apples?

That is a pretty close approximation.

Binary wysiwyg is shit for versioning, I hate it. Plaintext is fine but limited. I like both markdown and tex.
