Analog velocity control is also possible for all axes through it.

February is over and no Ioni arrived yet.
Is there any news about the delay?

Bye, Franc

Is IONI board capable of velocity control via analog (for instance -/+10V)???

It keeps getting better and better :)

Not only will I use IONI for Ion-drive, my diy direct- drive force feedback wheel in iracing, but also on the 4 axis of my diy CNC milling machine.

Good times for us modder-types, thank you!

Br,

Are there any detrimental effects for putting an inductor in-line with such a motor and then usin IONI?

You’re on right track with specs. Supply voltage 5-55VDC, max current ~15A. 100V version should be quite straightforward and we will experiment with that once first model is out! The only doubt is the galvanic isolation which might be very nice on higher voltage (IONICUBE is not galvanically isolated).

Can’t wait to get mine :)

Can you post a few of the specs, with all the fancy tuning and tweaking?
50V (70V effective)?
15-20A (Adaptive)?

Are there plans for a 100V+ version? I don’t suppose it is as easy as different FETs?
