Alternator Regulator
Jon Freeman
June 2019
WHAT THIS PROGRAMME DOES -
BEGIN
Loop forever at 32 Hz {
Read engine RPM
Adjust Alternator field current max limit according to RPM
Measure system voltage (just in case this is ever useful)
Respond to any commands arriving at serial port (setup and test link to laptop)
Flash LED at 8 Hz as proof of life
}
END
INPUTS AnalogIn x 2 - Ammeter chip - current and offset AnalogIns
INPUT AnalogIn - System voltage for info only.
INPUT AnalogIn - ExtRevDemand
INPUT AnalogIn - DriverPot
INPUT Pulse engine speed indicator, speed checked against EEPROM data to select max pwm duty ratio for this speed
INPUT Final pwm gate drive wired back to InterruptIn ** MAYBE USEFUL OR NOT ** Could read this back via serial to laptop
OUTPUT pwm to MCP1630. This is clock to pwm chip. Also limits max duty ratio
RS232 serial via USB to setup eeprom data
