@@RoniBandini I guessed the designed was done "in the jungle", for the jungle. The matter of playing with technology looks like being the main idea, not washing, no thinking about resources.
Your gretathunbergian eco adolescent approach could be missing some points like all the resources required to make the new washing machine and dispose the old one but you've got right that the main idea here was to hack and play with tech.
I have been keeping my washer from 1990 alive.... not a single control board or PCB used in this generation. It.has an old moter driven timer for control that is no longer available as a new part and now is hard to find even used on Ebay. I do all sorts.of I/O with micro-controllers and you have encouraged me to try a project like yours to keep my old appliances going forever. I still would need to work on the WAF !
I am wondering if you taped in to the board or bypassed it? what are the Volts and Amps to run the motor? specially at top RPM. I am working on an electric trike that will be made from 99% discarded materials and the motor is from a Samsung washer Modal # WF340ANG/XAC. I will probably get a e-bike controller but don't know what voltage would be the best to run it with out rewiring the motor. gracias, salads de un Mexicano-Canadience en Vancouver .
Hi Alberto, I've bypassed the board, controlling motor and valves directly from the Arduino with relays. You can find circuits, code and details at www.hackster.io/roni-bandini/dead-washing-machine-returns-to-life-with-arduino-mkr-81a970
Wow!
A washing machine where you can play Doom!
Nicely done
In times when energy usage and water consumption is discussed daily this is the wrong way to go.
Staying dirty is the new hack. No Arduino required.
@@RoniBandini Buy a properly designed machine that saves water and energy, and stay clean.

Nicely done. Replaced my washer's board (with a re-manufactured replacement IIRC) years ago, and still running!

Good luck with your project. Old appliances last forever.
How did you got it connected to the arduino? Directly connected to the motor with triacs?
Relays to valves and a power module. www.hackster.io/roni-bandini/dead-washing-machine-returns-to-life-with-arduino-mkr-81a970
Im a mexican and im super impress tell me more???????
How to buy...

@@RoniBandini thanks, : ( but my motor is brushless direct drive BLDC
