[Tutorial] WII NUNCHUK CONTROLLER AS A UNIVERSAL

-

This pinch project was realized with the ATM-18 controller module.This controller module has an ATmega88 microcontroller as and is a collaboration between Elektor and CC2 (Computer Club 2) .

The Wii Nunchuk is addressed via the I2C interface. Resourceful tinkerers like Chad Phillips have the protocol and encryption algorithm found.

ATM18 :: Project :: Wii Nunchuk

Some possible application examples:

  • Data Logger. Detect acceleration values ​​over a period of time and store them in an I2C EEPROM, eg damitr a drive to record.

  • Pan-tilt camera control. A camera mounted on servo control over the Nunchuk.

  • RC model remote control. Together with an RC transmitter to RC cars, robots and airplanes could control

and so on.

What is needed:

  • WII Nunchuk € 19

  • Make a nunchuk adapter 5 $, or DIY yourself, or simply cut off the plug

  • ATM-18 module or replica, it comes with an Arduino Board

  • LCD module for display, alternatively UART connection

Optional (but highly recommended):

  • 3.3V voltage regulator

  • bi-directional level shifter 3.3V / 5V I2C lines

The Nunchuk is powered by 3.3V. Although it seems to work well with 5V, is permanently but certainly not good.

Although withstand the built-in Nunchuk Controller 5V, but not the 3-axis accelerometer, which is only for max. 3.6V designed.

To illustrate some pictures of my test setup.

N-Channel MOSFET High-Side Drive: When, Why and How?

-
Image
I had previously shown how to drive N-channel MOSFETs in low-side configuration. You can find the tutorial here: http://electel.blogspot.com/2016/12/low-side-mosfet-drive-circuits-and_23.html I’ve been requested to write a tutorial/article regarding high-side MOSFET drive. So, here I’ll talk about N-channel MOSFET high-side drive. Let’s first look at the common low side configuration.  Fig. 1 - N-channel MOSFET configured as low-side switch Now let’s look at a MOSFET configured as a high-side switch. Fig. 2 - N-channel MOSFET configured as high-side switch You can quite easily see the difference between the high-side configuration and the low-side configuration. In the low-side configuration, the load is connected between the drain and +V, while the source is connected to ground. Thus, the gate drive is referenced to ground. So by applying a voltage of >7V (for Power MOSFETs) or >4V (for Logic Level MOSFETs), the MOSFET can be fully turned on. Now let’s talk about the high-si...

Using the SG3525 PWM Controller - Explanation and Example: Circuit Diagram / Schematic of Push-Pull Converter

-
Image
PWM is used in all sorts of power control and converter circuits. Some common examples include motor control, DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters and lamp dimmers. There are numerous PWM controllers available that make the use and application of PWM quite easy. One of the most popular of such controllers is the versatile and ubiquitous SG3525 produced by multiple manufacturers – ST Microelectronics, Fairchild Semiconductors, On Semiconductors, to name a few. SG3525 is used extensively in DC-DC converters, DC-AC inverters, home UPS systems, solar inverters, power supplies, battery chargers and numerous other applications. With proper understanding, you can soon start using SG3525 yourself in such applications or any other application really that demands PWM control. Before going on to the description and application, let’s first take a look at the block diagram and the pin layout. Pins 1 (Inverting Input) and 2 (Non Inverting Input) are the inputs to the on-board error amplifier. If you a...

Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver - Explanation and Example Circuits

-
Image
I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well...
