- DANGER: This equipment involves lethal voltages. For use by qualified, trained personnel only in a controlled laboratory environment with appropriate safety measures.
- USER RESPONSIBILITY: The user assumes all risk and sole responsibility for operation.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: No claims shall be made for any injury to persons or damage to equipment/property.
- MANDATORY STARTUP: Regardless of experience, start with a 12V supply only to verify operation and familiarize yourself with the system before applying high voltage.
- USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This Arduino project is not supported by Infineon Technologies AG. Motivation of this platform was to support open research activities.
If you need support with Infineon products like the power modules, gate drivers, do not hesitate to contact your local sales representative and/or the official support.
Double Pulse GUI. Project is very early DRAFT
- Pulse Resolution 10ns
- 1st Pulse; Wait; 2nd Pulse
- Support Short Circuit Testing
Motivation of this platform was to support open research activities.
- install the precompiled GUI (only Windows) from folder "CompiledWIN_noMATLAB"
- start the GUI
- ensure that firewalls not blocking WiFi access
- connect Arduino NANO IoT 33 via USB and click the "FlashTool Arduino" button in GUI. Just follow the instructions.
- disonnect USB cable after flash process!
- establish a WIFI hotspot with SSID: FUSION; PW: ffffffff
- connect the PC (running the GUI) to the WIFI. Click reset button on Arduino.
- after about 5..10s both PC and Arduino should be in WIFI. You can now click Connect button in GUI and start
- Start double pulses
- After connect click LockComChannel. A special command sequence is sent to Arduino and the communicatoin will be locked to this Key. Only a reset will release the Key.
- After 1st Arduino is operated in locked mode the next one can be started and should be also locked.
Can be used without MATLAB/Simulink => use precomiled GUI. This GUI includes also precompiled bin file, which can be flashed.
But recommended with MATLAB/Simulink:
- Matlab/Simulink R2022b (tested version)
requires installed
- MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware
- Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware
- Arduino Nano IoT 33
- WIFI Network
- Infineon Arduino Interface PCB: EV PCB INT; SP006038346
