I'll try and explain better my setup to offer more information: I have a motor controlled both in velocity and in torque whose shaft is mechanically connected to a generator. The project requires me to connect the generator to a resistance through a MOSFET controlled by the arduino, so that according to the duty cycle imposed to the MOSFET, the generator will be connected to the resistance for a certain period, imposing a certain braking torque to the motor. The generator outputs over 400V according to the speed. continued | |
