Hello All,
Anyone know how to wire/configure to use an RC ESC with linear actuator to be controlled by the EZ-B V4 and ARC?
Does it get wired/configured the same way as an H Bridge?
Also, if it is possible to do, how many ESC's can I use with one EZ-B V4?
The robot I am building will need 7 ESC's with linear actuators and one Sabertooth 2X32. I have no problem controlling the ESC/actuator with a Radio control PWM signal, so it seems it should be possible with the EZ-B V4.
Look at string potentiometers for feedback. Relativity cheap and easy to buy or make, and mount. There are 3d plans for making them.
@Rob-bot: I searched the Ebay with $50 i can get 12" linear actuator but no feedback. I still think is too risky to spend $50 and then spend extra bucks to add the feedback without guarantee of success.
@AndyRoid:
Good tip!
I found a DIY version: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1926226 (Potentiometer: $15, retractable: $6 plus shippings and 3d printing)
or a kit version: https://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2674.htm ($40)
Yeah, I've seen that article before and would like to try it but dont have a 3D printer yet. I am going to get one, but need to know the minimum size required to print the INMOOV android. I have also been looking at linear potemtiometers, which come in different sizes.
