    maybe more easy just search bts7960 datasheet to identify all the pin and replace bts chip with regular mosfet...

    Not that actually. BTS is an IC inside also. Guess no so simple use with it. )

    yeah...but basicly bts chip is also regular mosfet, 2 bts chip similar to 4 regular mosfet, and the other componen in the board had fuction to handle the signal before mosfet...

    The point is that DIY is a working device. And promts, that to handle the big motor, just need good cooling, and several mosfets in parallel. Of course and better with a right driver set up also) Will see)

    yeah...but you need some IC that handle the pwm signal...
    you cant just use signal without processing before mosfet, if can, it not smooth as bts7960...and it for me, not worth the effort...

    ahoenksiluman,
    there plenty of other motor drivers, beside bts. It is a bit more advanced topic, then just matter of IC or no IC driver, by itself. As an example why arduino sends signal by it self, even though it is optocoupled with MD. Shall use stm? And etc. There is a guy that made with ir2110 gate driver and all N- channels mosfet. Also reports the work with 550 series motors, but burn with a big one) There is an instructibles with all the same schematics but with pwm dir operation and some extra thingies.
    A pic12f ic to make separation of a signal, to avoid shoot through conditions. 20 ms dead time between the signals, when even no both of them for that time are given. It is switched off. Shall that be used or not? Will that be suitible here. U know.
    Don't know 'bout the logic of the bts on this accounts, but with pwm +/- both rotations are enabled with that two +5 v wires on the bts. Must be all the same right? Or that's another story?)

    About that it is not smooth, I get that U don't get it right a bit. If that will be a matter as U described, some, not smooth pwm or kinda, it will be and with just mosfets itself. But that was very good indeed. But burned) The center on/off with opto operation, forced to another decisions to be checked.
    Don't worry, I regard this project in a quite a sane way ))) Any help on subject and prompts are quite welcome)

    When checked the stall current of a MY1025 with 12.5A power supply and 12V, that really gives more then 30A of SC. The check with small motor like of 540 series, proves it to be true. That goes no more then 8 amps of SC. So that can be the cause with a mess with this devises, build in light version) But can be good as is for, let's say, 550 motors. (1.4 on idle, and 10-12A of SC). Also should be checked)

    Issue with on and off of the driver with optrons, is seems to be solved. And appeared to be simple.
    It was a wrong connection of the optrons input led to the ground of the whole system. Instead of connecting it back to arduino's GND only. Thus making isolation and arduino protection) And what's more over, lack of right connection, this just gives the linear voltage controll of the mosfet, without the pwm at all) :D:cool: That's why it all was so)

    Also testing the PWM+DIR mode with relay and one MOSFET )

    Made the schematics.

    Encounter in EMC with PWM+Dir Mode a bug, with one of the soft locks, it makes an odd wrong DIR switch there. It must be one in the center only. So write to the EbolzMagy, he promised to look it up and improve. Hope he will make it. )

    :thumbs find out the config with aiwave 2016 to work. The "constant force" slider, should not be zeroed. And that's it.
    The relay driver works!:);):cool:

    Some advice to those who use arduinos, conserning the aiwave. It requires some on/off from usb, or as it appeared to be true too, not to rush and leave it for some minutes, and it can operate as required. )

    SOLVED.
    The DD config with 540 dc motor was too fast. It works but if gonna make a drift with it, or a like, i.m. release the wheel out, the motor runs away. Made the gear ratio smth like 1:6, and here we go)))

    EMC 0.9. Wheelcheck 300 ms.
    Constant should be checked)

    Figured out that the ffb greatly depends on this slider. EMC is alright for all the other games, with this slider being active)
