Dj Sures Omnibot 2000

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Hoping someone can help me with this.I'm currently assembling parts to build my own and had some questions.

  1. in the showcase it calls for a motor controller. Do I need 1 or 2 of these? I've read different thoughts on the subject. I plan to use Omnibots original drive train system for now.

  2. What kind of motor controller? Looking around it seems a lot of people use the L289n h bridge. Would this work for me?

To use the original motors and gearbox a l298n h bridge works. That's what it uses. If your going to add more than 5 or 10 pounds to the robot you may want to consider a sabertooth 2x10 or 2x12 and up the voltage from the original 6 volts to a 12 volt battery. A single 12 volt fits very well in the bottom drawer and ezb can fit where the original 6 volt battery went.

Awesome , I plan to leave him mostly stock so it sounds like the L289n will work perfect. I just need 1 then?

Also, I was looking around and saw PWM mentioned. Do I need a H bridge with or without PWM?

#5  

With pwm so you can adjust speed.

Awesome, thank you so much jstarne1!
