TUTORIAL: ODrive Brushless Motor with Raspberry Pi and Arduino 

Two years later, it is still a very informative tutorial. THANKS.

This is now one of my favorite channels. You give the kind of details I like on everything. I watch all of each video to the end every time. Have a good day sir.

Best robotics series on YT! Thank you.🙏 Especially appreciate your RPi controller & Python instructions. Now, I understand why you don't use stepper motors. Okay, so I'm playing catch-up, but only 2 years behind. Best regards, stay safe, & keep up the good work!😎

Thanks for helping me control it with an Arduino.

Thank you for the first clear video to show how to set up the ODrive! Looking forward to setting this up. Do you think you will do a video on using the ODrive with hoverboard wheels?

Very helpful. A video showing how to set up and configure O-drive using the AS5047P absolute encoder (through the SPI connection) with Windows and position, torque, velocity control through Arduino. Happy to make a donation to support such a video.

thank you so much for this! i asked if you'd make a simple tutorial for setting odrive up on a Rpi or arduino a long while ago, and i've only just found this video!!! it's been such a help i've already ordered an odrive and motor and encoder and i've not even got to the arduino bit! thank you so so much. no i can have a good play once i follow your steps :) cheers Julian

Thanks for the detailed explanation

Hi, Is it possible to have the code that permit you to control odrive in position mode with raspberry pi , with stream data posution ?

very helpful video ;) ps ssh with a real pc it makes everthing a lot easier

Dude I'm a huge fan of your channel great job

I have learned how to use the ODrive controller. I will use it for the future robotic arm with brushless motors. If you don't want to miss it subscribe to my channel.

it would be better to get a part list, showed

This is very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I am looking forward to making a type of robotic arm and you videos look like they will be quite helpful. Thanks!

It posible make a odrive with change the driver motor drv8301?? Like a vesc 75100?? I need for big voltage

on the website of odrive, they have removed the usb permission code, which I consider very important since without that it does not recognize you that the odrive is connected. I was looking for that code on the internet, so I share, I will write to the odrive because they removed that important code. echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1209", ATTR{idProduct}=="0d[0-9][0-9]", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/50-odrive.rules sudo udevadm control --reload-rules sudo udevadm trigger

Great info, thank you very much!

I do not want to upset you, but you are mistaken. Stepper motors work differently. The passport shows the torque holding the load in the locked position. With increasing speed, the torque drops. At 1200 RPM, the moment is much less than 60 RPM and the drop depends on the inductance of the windings. Thank you for the video!

hi, the ODrive controllers (129USD) is only one for one brushless motor? and how much is the reduction that you use? do you recommend some reduction link?

partnumber and source for gear box?

it would be great to consider costs, as well as what larger motors and clearpath motors. With some suggestions of drawbacks

Sir please give me your POWER SUPPLY specification that you have used to power the odrive and motor

Hello and thanks for the great content! Could you explain what you mean with the torque in the 3rd colom? Is this continuous torque or something else?

can you provide me the link for the power supply and braking resistor. I'm using same motor, and drive for my project. Thank you If anyone have any idea about it as well can comment it as well.

Good afternoon. I can't find a complete command system for UART for ARDUINO. The GITHUB example doesn't cover everything.

Thank you sir for the informations, im trying to build a Ventilator using a Raspberry pi 4, two Brushless motors to drive the air pump and im wondering if your setup would work on my project. Can you please link the Resistor you are using

great video

what about breaking the ground loop...inductance as per ODrive documentation??

Thank you for sharing the video, we are the manufacturer of robot arm bearings.

Hi! I am currently working on very similar project, and would like to know the type of connector that is on the end of the cords coming from the o drive motor. Thanks!

Please help me...what do you call these gearbox which don't have a shaft but holes on top where I could mount the other joint

Nice video !

Where did you purchase that planetary gearbox?

Hi i'm interested into buying the ODrive controller and i have a question: The ODrive site shows a list of some bldc motors and their characteristics. Does the ODrive works with any type of bldc motor or only the ones shown on the previous list?

Hi! Did you run this or other BLDC at max power? Or at least 1 kwt? Does oDrive allow this? l made a DIY controller and burned some mosfets with a 1.5 kW motor:)

Суда по розетке, вы находитесь в Швейцарии.

Part list?

nice

hello I have a question for you, is there a mistake in the calculations? Because i cant found the same resault with you. For example to odrive d5065 ; i found it 1.72 Nm torque with using your formul that below at the table. can you explain please?

Hi, may be someone has asked already, but why did you chose to control ODrive with Raspbery rather than laptop computer? It seems to use python right?

Can you provide info on that planetary gearbox?

Мне кажется ... у вас акцент русский! Если да, то на русском было бы тоже очень интересно.

hello, is there a cheap odrive for a2212 brushless motors?

hi i have dc brushless motor 8 wire from orient japan vexta axhm5100-gfhk2 100w ...2500r/min is there any way to used it on cnc ? if not how can drive it ? thanks

I'm the 1000th like! :)

Link to gearbox?

hi, please share a link to buy all the parts.

Where to get this gear reduction and how much did it cost?

@Skyentific How did you get the values under the power column? Thanks

Hi, i have a problem connecting the raspberry pi, when i run the odrivetool im not been able to recognized and connect the board, i tried ttyUSB0 port, ttyACM0 and its not connecting how did you manage to connect. please help me.

hi, where can i find this planetary gearbox?

А что за транзисторы вы применяете в выходом каскад на мотры? Я тоже делаю аналогичный проект и тоже с похожими мотрами, но энкодер у меня as5045

What wire thickness did you use?

what power supply are you using?

Can this be used for a robot arm?

What encoder is he using?

The official odrive documentation is decidedly messy and incomplete.

Nice one. Now, with the gearbox, all your holding-torque problems are gone.

y go through all this pain isn’t it easier to use a stepper motor?

I disagree with comparing BLDC motors with stepper motor when only the BLDC has the torque advantage of a reduction gearbox. some of the comparison may hold true, but I walk away from an apples to watermelons comparison. Maybe that's why the channel is called Syyentific?

You know, at some point, micheal reeves watched this video

there is like no way to escape Arduino....

Нехватает прононса ))) лучше говорите на русском.

what power supply did you use?
