NextGEN DRSSTC UD3: Unboxing, Soldering, Startup and Software (Part 1 of 3)

This is the first video in a series of 3, on how to get started with the UD3 Tesla coil driver. Huge shoutout to Steve Ward, Netzpfuscher (Jens Kerrinnes), Malte0811 and TMaxElectronics (Thorben Zethoff) for their work on the UD3 platform.
HVF Thread on the development: highvoltageforum.net/index.ph...
The UD3 is a Tesla coil driver board for controlling a DRSSTC or QCW. The interrupter is embedded in the UD3 (Classic Mode / MIDI / SID(C64) / QCW Ramp). The UD3 was originally developed by Steve Ward.
- Embedded interrupter with MIDI and SID audio modulation
- Primary resonator fres measurement (frequency sweep)
- Primary peak current measurement over feedback CT
- Pulse skipping
- Alarm/Event system for fault tracing
- System fault interlocks for undervoltage/temperature/watchdog
- Bus current measurement (current or voltage mode CT)
- Controls up to 4 relays to handle inrush current and other things
- Can control an external light display for showing selected parameters
- It runs FreeRTOS, making it easy to add new functionality
- Commandline over serial interface
- Multi user commandline over MIN-Protocol
- Dual voltage measurement (differential)
- Support for Teslaterm and UD3-node
- Telemetry over serial
- Bootloader with serial/usb support (firmware update with Teslaterm)

That's a freaking cool controller! Hat's off to all involved!

[@lewisse5]

I just build one about two month ago and planing on swapping my coil with it. Would have been nice having this video then.

[@arccraver]

Kudos to all of you! For developing and improving the UD3!

[@Brandon3055]

Very cool! I may even build this one at some point.
I have been planning to build a UD2.7 for years now but never got around to it xD

[@Netzpfuscher]

What a nice driver, I like it 😄
Thanks for filming a video series, that should make things easier for the beginner.

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

Thank you! Hopefully I can go back and also update the different wiki and documentation github projects. When I learn github, I feel old now.

[@BackMacSci]

Thank you for this! Looking forward to part 2 and 3

[@Alexelectricalengineering]

Wow 😲 UD3, that's amazing 🤩, great video series !!👍👍
Will you put it in to your large DRSSTC?

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

That is my plan. For the sake of easy first testing, maybe a smaller in the house :)

[@Alexelectricalengineering]

@@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk I understand 😎👍

[@Lovreli]

this is very cool, im looking forward for the other 2 parts. Really motivates me to get back into hv after a while

[@KaizerPowerElectronicsDk]

I am happy to hear you find the video motivating. Be sure to check out www.highvoltageforum.net for th HV community :)

[@T2D.SteveArcs]

😎👍

[@unrealcrafter2671]

ooh a UD3 video!
