MATLAB Matlab program to montior the motor performance

Click For Summary
A user is developing a MATLAB program to monitor various performance metrics of a model airplane motor, including temperature, voltage, current, power, static thrust, and RPM, using a USB interface due to limited serial ports. They seek affordable instruments for this purpose, expressing concerns about potential costs. Discussion highlights include the K8055 interface board's capabilities, suggestions for cheaper alternatives like shunt resistors and microcontrollers, and the feasibility of building a custom solution versus purchasing off-the-shelf data acquisition (DAQ) modules. The user ultimately finds a suitable product, the "Power Analyzer Pro," which meets their requirements and has a USB interface, priced at around $200. The conversation also touches on the complexities of measuring electrical parameters and the importance of understanding circuit components to avoid overloading instruments.

"Power Analyzer Pro"

0-60V in .005volt increments
-30 to 100Amps in 10mA increments
9999 watts in 1-watt increments
RPM up to 60,000 RPM
Two temp probes up to 0-130 C
USB interface

*AND* they are coming out with an in flight data recorder that u can later dump your flight data into the PC to see the motor and battery performance!



SOLD! :biggrin:
