The angle is 6 times a full revolution in radians because the encoder is on the motor not the output shaft and there is a 6:1 gear ratio.
@engserve4 жыл бұрын
Right, but it is a simple setting in firmware that could be changed.
@engserve4 жыл бұрын
With the current firmware and CAN protocol, the motor is not setup to run many revolutions. The firmware suggests the limit is +/12.5 radians (about 4 total revs) mapped to the 16 bit position. That does not appear to be working right, so I requested clarification from Steady Win. With an application like the Cheetah robot, you don't need many revolutions. A CNC machine like a delta bot would be the same. Unneeded revolutions, eat into the resolution of the 16 bits. My 24 revs/16 bits is not great.
@marklagana27694 жыл бұрын
Rob is right. Try turning it off, turning it MORE than 1/6th of a revolution and then turn it back on - its new position will be shifted by 60 degrees

So at only 250 watts I guess this would not work well for driving a heavy robot wheel? 250 watts sounds weak but maybe not since it had gears? That is one cool motor either way and nice that it can be controlled over CAN. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

I think the biggest cost factor is the housing and gearbox. If you just want a motor/controller/encoder combo, I am sure these will be below $100 very soon.
@byungjaelee51104 жыл бұрын
It would take a long time to get the price down. The machining process of the gears and the body is not easy to do. These are the things that rarely go down in price. Computer hardware and technology has been accelerating very fast these days. For computer parts it's mass produced for alot of people. So that is why for something like a robotics actuator is expensive.

Can anyone tell me how hard it would be to wire these in such a way that they reversed direction when they detected a load? I guess that's more of a function of the drivers- so, with the right drivers, can these detect a load?

In looking at the website, can you report back, how well it works on much slower moves confined to a few degrees? I'm guessing with an encoder it would be.
@engserve4 жыл бұрын
You can play with the velocity a little, but for a real application you probably want precise control of position, speed and acceleration. The controller is not designed to do that. I think the best way to achieve that is via rapid positional control, like a CNC machine does with a stepper motor or closed loop servo.
