First test of my openffboard build with power

A quick test, without a wheel attached to the spindle, of the openffboard running on Linux in BeamNG.drive. It took a while to get here as I'm not very knowledgeable with motor drivers but it seems to work so far.

Next step will be to fabricate a bracket to mount it to my rig. Since this video I have mounted a wheel and done some driving. The feel is pretty good, the motor is only 6NM which in DD land is a little on the low side but it's incredibly smooth.

Hardware:

OpenFFBoard (purchased assembled) Project Link Github Link

ODrive S1

Baldor BSM90N-1150AFP (ebay auction for untested motor, was about 50USD shipped)

48v 10.5A power supply

That is awesome, I have not heard of OpenFFBoard before. Looks great.

Thanks! I just added some links to the project and github. I shouldn't have assumed everyone knew what it was.

So I just now realized that the banner of this community is a picture of the rig belonging to the creator of the openffboard project. The board on the screen is their TMC4671 based motor driver.
