Pierre's 170W in 1600W out Looped Very impressive Build continued & moderated

If you do have that CH340G serial chip I just found a possible fix for it.  I'll try to attach it here.  I've run it through Virustotal.com also and it is all clear but you can check it too at www.virustotal.com

I also have a problem with loading a file, but only when a magnetic field is generated. After turning off the power and waiting for 10 seconds, arduino is programmed again. This is not a driver problem or power supply.

Interesting no one here has picked up why my device has such a low current output!!!
Often in morning when I wake up I get a clear answer on something I've been contemplating on. I showed you all in my last video that my coils are 6 slot apart but it hasn't hit anyone.
It was clear to me this morning that in my configuration all my coils are Bucking... and no wonder I hardly get any output.
Pierre picked up on it and sent me a PM late last night which I only got this morning and he concluded the same thing.

Do you not see it?... 2 coils (in the same slot)  are powered together but each with the current in the opposite direction.
I need to take all the stator coils out and reposition them to 5 slots apart.
I'll be busy for some days.

Hi Gotoluc,

I am finding that a single coil set outputs a reasonable voltage on the rotor however, when you add additional coil sets, output reduces and input current rises.

I have 4 poles between the coil 5 slot pitch, so  there is a 1 pole gap between poles.

So far, I have not  found an answer to this.

Luc,  Does your Arduino have the CH340G serial chip?   If it does that may be the problem.   I recall something about that serial chip being blocked by a Windows update and it seems that this cheaper Chinese serial chip has caused a lot of headaches with drivers and connection to computers.   Some Arduino's use that chip but better ones use a different serial chip (Atmega 16u2 ? ).

Hi e2matrix. Listener191 sent me the same information (see his below message)  Turns out the Arduino I have is the 16U2
However, just got it working again but using my Ubuntu laptop. Don't know why it's working now since this was the first laptop I used and only had errors
I'm uploading a video now of the LED firring sequence.

Luc

PM from L192
If you have the original board then I would look at the components around the reset button and make sure you don't have a missing cap. Some of these boards have deliberately left a coupling cap to the reset line out so you have to manual reset the board each time.

Check which board you have, if its the CH340 chip then you need to load a driver for it.

If you see the board listed under ports in device manager, does it have an exclamation mark against it? if so click on it to open the window and select  search for driver.
