I have developed an updated range of small microprocessor based (ATtiny24) speed
contoller using two TB6612 dual motor driver chip for Antweight Robots. This
range supercedes the previous range although it may well be possible for me to
build one of the older types by special arrangement. As before because
of the cost and complexity of approvals testing I am unable to sell these
commercially. I am prepared to make them, at a reasonable cost, on a one off
prototype basis for friends who are fellow antweight enthusiasts. Besides
offering two drive channels at double the current rating of the older range these controllers provide a 5v regulated supply for
the receiver and weapon servo at 1.5A. This covers the following servo's:
Saturn62, SuperTec HP Naro, Futaba FD33M, SuperTec S136L, Spektrum S75, Hitec HS81, HoBao H-101,
PARK HPX F.
There is a compatibility issue with the Corona and some other receivers as they output the
different channel signals simultaneously and not sequentially as with normal
receivers so it is best to check with me first.
The motor drive boards can drive two of the standard microgearbox motors using a
2 or 3 cell lipo battery, four standard microgearbox motors using 2 cell lipo
battey or two of the HP or 12v microgearbox motors using a 2
cell lipo battery.
See
here for approved
motor table.
This board provides two motor speed controllers at 2.4A each plus a servo
output for weapon.
It plugs into the
receiver on three flying leads and provides +5v (1.5A) to power the receiver and any
one
servo in the list above.
The unit 31 x 20 x 5 mm
and all the external wires pass through the board to give mechanical support for
the solder joint.
This unit replaces both the Option A and Option D boards and is supplied with
JST battery and servo connectors fitted.
This module is designed to work with the HobbyKing 4 Channel 2.4 Ghz receiver and
has a sockets mounted on them so the receivers plug straight into the controller
boards reducing the number of wires, size and weight.
The power and motor drive connections are made via a seven way connector / loom
supplied with the unit.
The controller is 52 x 20 x 10 including the receiver and connector and weighs
in at 13.6gms including receiver and 150mm loom.
