![]() ![]() Im not in shop this year(Essentially a joke class) so im trying to pick this project up again since im pretty much to the wiring section of it and have everything I need…Īlso for batteries, I have 12 volt hobby batteries, sealed… I got stuck at the motors last year, was suppost to get some from my shop teacher, never did. However me being me took one apart (boredom I suppose) put it back together and shortly thereafter it went out…Īll in all my first attempt was a success, made with less than 20 bux in it, and worked :-p so now im working on a “real” one that I designed and built the frame, (the previous one wsa actually a old computer case… hehe)… On my first one I made I used power window motors, which worked great since they fit straight into the wheels I had and powered the thing great. I’ll check that out in the next couple days. Im wanting a lil more control then full on/off, however If I could find somekind of rotary switches at autozone or whatever, I suppose I could mod it and hook a servo to it and control it that way. (I worked on a project of my own similer to what I believe you are trying to do and I have a lot of info and drawings on the subject) ![]() I have a lot of blueprints and images for just about everything you are thinking of doing. I know a place that can sell you the 40 AMP’s (I believe you will need 40’s for WC Motors) or you can just get them from innovationFIRST and make a custom housing (I can also tell you how to do that if you need the help). You probabally will not have f/r but that can be run to a seperate switch using a simple relay (I can tell you how to build one if you don’t know how) I would also be nice to run the motors through a braker panel. ![]() Well If you are looking for something simple like that… look at a local autoparts store (ask for a switch catalog) and I am sure they will have a switch that can be used for a robot. Its a simple design, but it’ll impress people around here… Right now I wish I had all my autocad drawings, I have some I did on paper somewhere but all my comp ones are gone(did the at school) one of which was a isometric view of my robot in scale :-/ o well guess i’ll just have to remake it now There really nothing but a thermostat switch, essentially… ![]() If I find that circut diagram I will post it. Also try contacting a local university… they may have some speed controllers that rate 24VDC thay may just give you if you make them a deal to throw a little business-card size logo on your robot. I am trying to find the website I used to have that had a real good layout for it. You can create a very simple custom circut that can control speed. Thanks guys, i’ll be sure to keep a eye on that auction now =) My favorite RC car I have is my nitro =^)Īnyway, If this works, and I have a working robot I’ll be more prompt to spend money on speed controls that can handle 24v, however your idea to run a speed control on each better then just hook them up to the motor, sounds great if i had the other 2 speed controls :-p Im currently watching a couple motors on ebay, If I can get them at a good price I plan to… Im thinkin anything under 75 for a pair of wheelchair motors will be good =^).Īlso, I only have 2 speed controls, I was never huge in Electric RC cars so i didnt’ collect much. ![]()
