Welcome to the Home page of OwnTech Tutorials Wiki!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our Tutorials are organized in three parts:
|
|
|
- Getting started: Three tutorials to let you set up your computer (Blinky), monitor the converter via the Serial Monitor integrated into VSCode and learning how to use the SerialPlot open-source software.
|
|
|
- Buck Converter: Three tutorials to help you setup an open-loop buck function, monitor data using the O2 converter and then use this data to close to loop and control the voltage output of the converter.
|
|
|
- DC motor: Two tutorials to help you connect the power converter to a DC motor, set up an encoder to its shaft and interface it with the O2 converter and then use this information to drive the speed of the DC motor.
|
|
|
- Solar MPPT: Two tutorials to help you connect the power converter to a PV panel, set up an MPPT algorithm and power a load.
|
|
|
- Battery Charging: Two tutorials to help you connect the power converter to a lead acid battery, set up a charge algorithm and power a load.

## Safety Notice
|
|
|
|
|
|
During this Hackathon, the O2 converters will be used under low voltage conditions that should not exceed 48VDC. When experimenting, remember of the Moto "Safety First".

|
|
|
<br/><br/>:warning: Although the set up will operate below what is called the "Safety Extra Low Voltage", it important to never touch the device during live operations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>:warning: Device might get hot during operation, it is important to be aware of this hazard and never operate the device without overlooking it.
