DBW V2.0

The DBW steering system operates by integrating various electronic components and control mechanisms to achieve steering control. The steering PCB serves as the center hub, linking the Arduino DBW v3 board with its data logger and angle sensors connected to a servo motor. The main components we use on our steering PCB includes the H-bridge, N-type MOSFETs, capacitors, a voltage regulator, resistors, RJ45 connectors, Anderson cables and a four pin connector. The H-bridge circuit controls the motor’s direction by reversing the polarity of the voltage based on input from the angle sensors. The N-type MOSFETs, paired with resistors, amplify the current to drive the motor effectively. The voltage regulator ensures a stable operation. Resistors manage current flow and voltage levels, protecting the circuit. We use the RJ45 connectors to connect with the DBW v3.0 board to process sensor inputs, it sends control signals to the H-bridge, and adjusts the motor’s movement.
