diodes - How to calculate free wheeling current value



In the below mentioned circuit which is used for automotive EMR braking. We are facing freewheeling diode burn out (FR607 is currently being used).


enter image description here


We are still clueless about the cause. But as per design this is a 6 A rated diode with surge value of 300 A which according to my design team is well enough. But we suspect that this ampere rated diode is not OK. We need to find the maximum freeweeling current in this circuit. How to calculate this current value. The coil resistance is 0.8 amps. Load of the circuit is 30 amps and the supply is a 24 V DC battery source 200 Ah.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
