Here is a Mosfet with heather 💠 to control the on/off of the #vacuum fan (3.6A@12V).
It will shut it down when cleaning is done or if a problem occurs.

I've done a gitlab to share my IC code:

bodtx / vacuum Robot

IA to replace the mother board of any cleaner robot (neato, irobot etc)

Here is the schematics of my #vacuum circuit.
need to wait for the fan motor to be at full speed before moving otherwise EMI is doing too much mess in the circuit.

damned, the brushless motor outputs too mush backward current and high frequency, I need a spearate power with an isolated #lm7805.

My #neato signature is back to life. Wheels working, vacuum motor starting. Next move is to program the path to follow. #arduino #ln298
Reparing my neato signature.
I will replace the brain with a DIY one. Keeping motors.
