Motor Discussion #116
Comments
I am not sure that they will be able to drive the Leobot. What about these? |
@nemo8 have a look at the TME site. They also have only three of them. Either it is a neat coincidence, or SMDUA is just a TME reseller. Delivery from Digikey will take us +/- two weeks. |
This motor can be fine as well: https://www.robotshop.com/en/12v-dc-motor-251rpm-encoder.html Max current consumption for the motor 7A, we have 2 parts, so max = 14A. We need to have a power source with can supply at list 14A at the motor start. For power, we can use an ATX part from PC, or a battery. |
I guess we need at least 3Nm (or 400 ozf-in) motor torque. The last motor is questionable. It may or may not work for us. |
@LyubomyrD, where can I find the picture of the robot platform (where motors are located)? |
@LyubomyrD , thanks. According to the spec "Number of wheels:4". |
So we need Max 28A, however, I guess that a battery (or two of them) like the following may be OK, since 28A may be never needed in the real life The driveshields (4pcs) that I suggest: https://bit.ly/2Hyqyad |
28A it's a max current at the starting, working current should be about 14A or less. So 9Ah/14A = 0.64 hour (continuous running) |
@LyubomyrD, your driver looks fine, but optocoupler should be added. (this driver has not optocoupler in the board). |
The no load current is 350mA. The final current depends on the load. 30 min may be not enough, this why I proposed two batteries connected in parallel - to increase Ah.
Why do we need an optocoupler in this case? |
yes:
|
Let us add the optocouplers, however this may lead to PCB designing. The pololu site states that the board has
Although the pololu board has two more pins that are output pins in the fault modes. |
@LyubomyrD @nemo8 |
@SystemDiagnosticss the datasheet states that each DFROBOT FIT0185 provides 4.4Nm torque. What are Your suggestions on the model of the motor? |
@LyubomyrD I think for this guy we need 15-20Nm ... |
@SystemDiagnosticss You mean 15-20 Nm for each motor? |
@LyubomyrD yes |
@LyubomyrD Sorry I'm confused Nm and kg.cm ... 45kg.cm in DFROBOT FIT0185 well be good :) |
Just to mention, parallel connection of batteries is not a good idea. It will cause self-discharge of batteries. The best option is just to take a single battery with higher power for all motors and (as an option) use a separate battery for electronic components for better stability. Other option with 2 batteries is to connect them in pairs to 2 motors, but this might lead to disbalance in movement, especially on mecanum wheels. |
Yes, these components are great. I used them, but they require a wire to the wall socket. I was hoping to use battery power for the robot. |
@LyubomyrD, a battery should be with the battery charger. Power supplies from my link support charging feature. As for me, it is not convenient to take the battery off from the robot for charging and then put it back. |
I’ve seen these power supply modules on our radio market in this shop |
@nemo8 I do agree with what You are saying. However, this is just an iteration and not a final product. So we have to decide whether to have a wire to the wall or several batteries that we will remove sequentially for charging them. @MaxZhaloba Can You make any suggestions on the components that you recommend purchasing from Kosmodrom? |
@LyubomyrD, Haha 😄 I haven't heard this name. Not sure if you mean the radio market or the RCS shop, but anyways, I'm not an expert on motors. Neither I used any powerful batteries, so at the very most, we can calculate the necessary power of battery and choose one of the suitable items. The only suggestion I have so far is that we need either to use a separate battery to supply power for electronic components or have a decent power stabilizer to prevent the power surge on electronics. Actually, when I needed a powerful DC source for my homemade audio amplifier, I just bought a secondhand IT power supply block (with hardware switch) from an old PC over there on radio market. I remember it was quite cheap and serves me well by now. I've just had a look on its labels and they specify 150W total power output (which in theory corresponds to 12,5A max current) and different output options: 12V/16A, 12V/6A, 12V/5A, so it's hard to tell the actual power output, but it's probably somewhere within the limits of 5-10 amps. |
@MaxZhaloba, I will create block diagram for electrical part of our robot. It will make discussion simpler. I have experience in developing devices. |
We do not have 4 motors. I have only two possible options of motors with encoders. But unfortunately it is not possible to order three more for the one which I like :) |
@LyubomyrD , |
@nemo8 Besides, there will be more mess with wires, in my opinion. However, we can try to follow You advise. I actually never used the Dual Moto Shield - it will be a new experience. |
@LyubomyrD and @nemo8 is this the same board https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-30A-Mini-VNH2SP30-Stepper-Motor-Driver-Monster-Moto-Shield-module-For-Arduino/32730453816.html |
@AndriyPt the motor and drive shield are same as we have spoken about |
@AndriyPt the size of the heatsink is OK. |
Let's decide on motors.
Requirement 6mm diameter of the shaft.
What about this
