<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;what the value of BTZ52? 20V? 25V? and how many Volts are enough for the 560uF caps?
all resistors with 5% tol its ok?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;the mosfet FDD8580 can be the FDD8780? (the zener have to be different?)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;and why the 2 cap 1000uF on pcb and not in the board?&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;How could we add some extra layers of protections between arduino, this shield and the motors. Would this circuit work for using separated power supplies for both boards and opto isolators to isolate them?: http://i.imgur.com/1JbWVmr.png I can make sense of parts of it but I don&amp;rsquo;t understand how it can work when all the collectors of the opto are connected to the same Vin, so all the pins seem basically bridged. What about the motors, is there any circuit you guys could share to protect against inductive kickback? I know the board has built in protections, but I know some people that burnt a few of them, and that makes me paranoid.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Yes it works. Just set the PWM pins to output and HIGH.
For example the stepper_oneRevolution example works with this setup:
    Stepper myStepper(stepsPerRevolution, 7,8,4,9);
    void setup() {
        myStepper.setSpeed(300);
        pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
        pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
        digitalWrite(5, HIGH);
        digitalWrite(6, HIGH);
    }&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But since there is no hardware current limiting, steppers get hot real fast. And since the drivers do not work at low voltages such as 3V that are suitable for a lot of steppers, that can be a problem. Solution: get 12V steppers. Better solution: get a stepper driver with current limiting.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;What is the conversion for the Current sense to read amps on the Arduino?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is what I calculated, but its way way off!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;V=ADC_steps * (5/1024)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I = V/1.5kOHM&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I = (ADC_steps * 5)/1024)/1500&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I = ADC_steps/307200&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But what I measured is way way off&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Through trial and error I found the constant to be 30.56&amp;hellip; However I don&amp;rsquo;t know how accurate that is because I measured the current with a MultiMeter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Is it me or is there a mistake in the data-sheet?  shouldn&amp;rsquo;t  Rsense be 1.5ohm instead of 1.5kohm&amp;hellip; which would be 30.72 for the constant?&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Given the price tag and the width of the output traces, am I correct in assuming that this board is manufactured very high copper thickness? To handle the full 30A with those output traces, you would need something like 6oz copper. Using a more ordinary 2oz copper PCB, those traces can only handle about 12A. If nothing else, that would explain why it costs so much for ~$25 of components.&lt;/p&gt;

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;OK, some experiments just done with this circuit and I concluded that definitely it does not do what the features section promise:&lt;br/&gt;
- first of all the maximum voltage of 41 V is not usable at all due to the internal overvoltage limit of the driver IC (as already said by Member48425 in his/her comment). As specified in its data-sheet, the VNH2SP30 IC is for automotive applications for which the nominal working voltage is 13.8 V or so. The 41 V limit is an &amp;ldquo;absolute maximum rating&amp;rdquo; specification for VCC, that is the maximum sustainable supply voltage by the internal H-bridge. In my experiments the drivers gone in protection mode disabling the output when VCC rose over about 16 V and the only way to recover a normal operating condition was to switch OFF and then ON again the power.&lt;br/&gt;
- The current limit resistors for all LEDs are valid only for VCC of about 5 V! When I first saw the schematic diagram I though the values were wrong, but when I supplied the circuit a 24 V&amp;hellip; they burnt in a few seconds, so I was forced to desolder them.&lt;br/&gt;
Definitely this shield was not a valid choice; I think I could find some more valid product for my needs!&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;The current and voltage ratings presented in the description are a bit misleading.  While the driver can survive 41 V, it should not be used with voltages above 16 V because that is the point at which the overvoltage protection can kick in.  Similarly, while the drivers can deliver a maximum of 30 A, they will overheat at much lower currents without the addition of a heat sink.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Thanks for pointing me to the datasheet&amp;hellip;you&amp;rsquo;re totally right, it&amp;rsquo;s reverse voltage protection.  I should&amp;rsquo;ve started there rather than spouting off based solely on the schematic.  The FET/diode/resistor combo is in the application schematic in Figure 32, and section 3.1 addresses reverse polarity protection approaches.  Cap negative to the H-bridge ground, as you point out, and it should be fine.  Need a different FET though, as Abs. Max VDS for the FDD8580 is 20V.&lt;br/&gt;
All that leaves is the LED1/R20 path&amp;hellip;what&amp;rsquo;s LED1&amp;rsquo;s reverse breakdown voltage (often 5V-ish) and what happens when you run 120mA backwards through him?  Tying his cathode to the bridge common would solve that problem too.  Finally, even in normal operation, at 41V all of the LEDs will be subjected to ~120mA forward current, likely at least double their rated capacity.  Bigger resistors (intensity issues at lower Vccs?) or some Zener magic (cost?) are in order here.  Rev. B? ;)&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Yes.  The &amp;ldquo;typical circuit&amp;rdquo; in the data sheet for the H bridge has the cap minus terminal connected to the bridge common.  This would have been better, if the idea was indeed a zero voltage drop reverse protection circuit (which I still suspect).&lt;/p&gt;</content>

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Hard to tell.  One might guess reverse polarity protection, but the only thing they&amp;rsquo;d be protecting is U1 and U2.  C2 and C5 (polarized electrolytic caps) would still be exposed to the reverse voltage and would likely fail catastrophically.  Vcc undervoltage?  Maybe&amp;hellip;below 3V or so the FETs would be off.  That doesn&amp;rsquo;t really matter, though, since the FET drains (rather than the sources) are connected to ground.  All that happens when the FET is off is an extra diode drop, the FET&amp;rsquo;s body diode, is inserted between U1/2 ground and system ground.  Overvoltage?  I don&amp;rsquo;t see a viable mechanism for that.  Puzzling indeed.  D1 is a good addition, to prevent VGS overstress when Vcc &gt; 20V.&lt;/p&gt;</content>

Or these:&lt;br/&gt;

And the more expensive VHN3 has the current sense circuit built in. Sure the form factor is not an Arduino Shield but they both cost significantly less.&lt;/p&gt;</content>
