Sick and Tired of Waveline pumps

[_Adrian_]

My driver is coming along nicely :P


CN1 and CN2 are power feed / loop through to other modules.
I separated the drivers from the logic side for ease of serviceability as well as future upgrades.

You have to keep us up to date on the progress of this. Have you reverse engineered the Waveline controller or is this from scratch? Only reason I ask is I'm still totally stumped why the Gen 1 controller performs so differently from the Gen 2.

Will your controller easily integrate with all DC return pumps?

Will you be making this available for DIY'ers?

Thank you!

It will run most, if not all sensorless BLDC pumps.
And yes, once its been tested I will make it available to the DIY crowd

This is completely off reservation so to speak as the drivers I'm using are capable of 600VDC and 30A continuous current if cooled properly, so in other words it's complete overkill!
As far as the Waveline controllers go... I have no clue and only can go by the pictures were posted. IF I had a better high res pictures of the V1 and V2 controllers I could most likely reverse engineer something, however since they are still using a discrete H bridge its simple yet a crude way of approaching this.

Either way... My plan is to use a micro that is capable of driving multiple channels... you know just in case you have multiple return pumps and another dc pump on your skimmer. My aim is for a maximum of 4 channels with I2C control or stand alone control.
