Hi, I have a 3 phase 208volt 2.3amp induction motor and I need to build an mcu controller for it. I suspect my build will consist of an mcu card, a motor controller shield and a 208volt switching power supply. The mcu must have 3 pwm outputs and a way of making a zero crossing detector, and the motor driver will have some beefy igbt bridges on a heat sink. I can write code for the mcu and the easier the interface to my linux box the better.
I need to run the motor at a constant speed that is synced to the ac line voltage and be able to vary the phase angle. The motor spins a disk with 6 electrodes on it. I have a small strobe light that flashes at the zero crossing of the ac line. With my present rig I can look at the spinning disk and see the electrodes slowing moving clockwise and that's not good. I need to be able to freeze the apparent look of the electrodes and turn a dial that shifts them one way or the other.
It's for a tesla coil I'm building. If anyone knows of an mcu and motor driver combo in the $100 to $120 range then please let me know. Thanks in advance!
