Getting started

After flashing connect to the USB-Port and connect to the virtual serial port with a VT100 terminal like putty.

Step 1:

Configure your serial connection. The default baudrate is 460800. It is sufficient.

If you want to connect to Teslaterm or UD3-Node you need to enable MIN:
set min_enable 1

You need to have a feedback transformer which results in round about 1,5A at absolute peak current. Setup your feedback current transformer (CT1) example: 1:1000
set ct1_ratio 1000

Setup your DC-Bus current transformer:
set ct2_ratio 1000

Enter the maximum current for transient mode (DRSSTC):
set max_tr_current 600

Enter the minimum current for transient mode only used for MIDI modulation (DRSSTC):
set min_tr_current 100

Enter the maximum current for qcw mode (QCW):
set max_tr_current 300

Enter the maximum pulsewidth and repetition rate (us/Hz):
set max_tr_pw 400
set max_tr_prf 800

Enter the lead time (ns) around 500ns for small bricks and around 1000 for big bricks:
set lead_time 1000 (Test)

Make a autotune, connect everyting and give your coil a little bit bus voltage (around 40V-60V):
set tune_start 30 (kHz for sweep start frequency)
set tune_stop 100 (kHz for sweep stop frequency)
bus on
tune prim

The coil sweeps through the given range and finds the resonant frequency. This frequency needs to be set in the start oscillator: set start_freq 54.4 (in kHz)

Save everyting in the EEPROM:
eeprom save

If you have enabled MIN, you need to restart your coil [reset]. You can test everything with the transient mode:
set watchdog 0 (to disable watchdog)
kill reset (to clear all faults)
tr start
set pw 30 (for 30us ontime)
set pwd 2000 (for 2000us period)
tr stop (to disable transient mode)
