Earlier announced ATOMI is finally getting the focus it deserves! Now we have second revision boards under our scope for testing and firmware development. From initial tests, we can tell that we’re very close to the final design. At the moment it looks like we need only to change one resistor value on the PCB to make it final.
Four axis drive ATOMI boards along with 400W AC servo motor and IONI Pro HC drive
We can thank Esa Hippolin from the beautiful hardware design.
Looking good! Would it be possible to use SinCos encoders with this board?
There is encoder input but they don’t read analog values like IONI so no SinCos can be done on this device.
This is exciting. Atomi looked nice when you announced it but I thought it was only for stepper motors – servo support suddenly makes it very interesting! I like the very low profile. I see Mini-USB – is that an interface or for 5v power? What functionality do the buttons have? I’m looking forward to this one :)
It doesn’t need 5V, it is singly supply design. Throw anything between 12 to 48V in it and it will be happy :)
integrated usb to simplemotion adapter? interesting product :) I’m curious to see the final specs!
Yes, USB is exactly for that!
I wish a great New Year’s Eve party
Could it be possible to parallelize each 2 of the 4 elements?
– With the goal of running 2 40A brush DC motors with a single ATOMI?
Or 4 pcs of 40A brush DC motor with 2 ATOMI?
All the best and a happy New Year from Herford, Germany
Hi Klaus!
Atomi can parallel two PWM channels as one in brush DC motor just like IONI. You could get 40A from IONI Pro HC with little help of special firmware that we can deliver (no guarantee however, haven’t tested that high so far).
Hi,
It’s a very nice product. Is there any progress on the development/release?
