Flashlight Power Efficiency Tester: DIY Boost vs Linear LED Drivers feat. Convoy S2+
I wanted to see how efficient my DIY flashlight boost driver was compared to an off-the-shelf driver, but manually measuring everything like how it’s usually done just wasn’t that appealing a task. So I designed an “automatic” power efficiency tester.

NEMA17 motors are ubiquitous, and sometimes they even look identical. How do we know which motors will perform the best, and is there even a best motor for every application? In this video, we test five NEMA17 stepper motors with a dynamometer and examine their speed-torque curves to find which motor performs the best.

      This circuit doesn't disconnect the power supply. When the shunt resistor is "switched on", it becomes a new return path of relatively low resistance, so current from both the power supply and motor's regeneration will sink through that resistor.

    • @engineerbo

      Thanks! The condition of the brake actually shouldn't matter at all, because I'm measuring the actual braking torque. For example, if the test was running, and I decided to oil the braking disc midway, this would cause the braking torque to decrease, and this change will be measured by the load cell. Oiling the disc would only mean the test would take longer, because the brake calliper would need to clamp harder to achieve the same braking torque.

Well your F3 software wasnt working as intended -shows me same error msg as was already mentioned in comments here (f3probe: read_all(): unexpected error code from read(2) = 121 : Remote I/O error) . But as i before tried full format and didnt finish (too slow to fully done) , just to get back to guick format - can be the reason for that error in my case. After that i did try this tool what i can recommend as its super fast and also in Windows can be used : ValiDrive. Where i got the right information : 2 dots from all in graphic view were green - valid. rest shows as red = no storage. in next result window i got information there are ~30GB storage. Next i get inside of the usb key - really simple done by get off aluminium cover and then i needed just push to lock (2 mm in size) and in same time pulling out usb3 part of the disk. Inside i found card in card reader. Card was made in korea, but nothing else was usefull from text there. I put it in card reader and format it (its shows 30GB already), so windows formating tool was enought for this task and becouse of real 30GB to format, now was time aprox. 1h to finish even slow full format. After that i moved card back to usb "key" (card reader) and buala - new 30GB card with good looking card reader in one for free to use ;p . I must say as it was bought from aliexpress and i did my tests fast enought, i reported fake usb and get my money back (seller didnt get money from aliexpress at all). Cheers

    The dyno design is great, but running stepper drivers on a solderless breadboard is just asking for problems and likely the cause of your 24v failures. When you are switching relatively high currents at high speed you need low impedance supply rails with plenty of decoupling, something that a breadboard just cannot provide. Why not use an existing stepper driver board like the SKR?

    Interesting results. Would be nice to run some resonance test for each of the motors. I have StepperOnline motors on several of my builds and they perform pretty well. In my Voron 0.2 build StepperOnline resonate less than LDO motors which results in better prints quality over all.

      Thank you! That's an interesting suggestion. How did you test for resonance in your build?

      @@engineerbo I think you could just add simple ADXL sensor to your rp2040 setup, place sensor on the motor itself and run loop changing motor frequency at the same time recording readings from the ADXL, at least I would start from there. On 3Dprinter setup it's much easier as Klipper helps to run such task semi-automatically.

      My first guess would be that every motor has its own resonance frequency, and there wouldn't be "more" or "less" resonance, so I'm not sure how I'd design a test for this.

      @@engineerbo I would assume a well-made and balanced motor should have fewer frequencies it resonates at. At the same time, I think the higher the vibration level and the wider the spectrum, the harder it is for the algorithm to mitigate those vibrations, and it will end up affecting the print quality. I'd probably make two tests: the first one to see the overall noise and the second to check how high the peaks are getting.

    Very nice and detailed video but what makes me curious what about accuracy and repeatability of those motors or maybe it’s not determined by the motors it self I actually don’t know so please let me know/ us know . Keep it up 👍

      Thank you! I've started planning to test for position accuracy, so there'll be a video of that in the future.

    Simple way to select a "fast" stepper is to look at the inductance (often listed) as it's the thing that will, during running, limit the current rampup and thus also torque.
