Motor Controler For Arms

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Hello All.

I need a suggestion for a motor controller to drive 2 arms that are connected to 2 screw drive actuators. (Aproximately 2 amps each)

I wanted to get some advice before I purchase anything.

I bought some other controlers with out thinking and they ended up not working.

I already have a sabretooth driving the wheels so I need something else that would work with a joy stick or a button pad.

Thanks for any advice.

I would use a H-Bridge personally. There are other ways but an H-Bridge is an acceptable way.

With limit switches, you may want to make a new topic asking about those. I've not used them but know other users have. They should be able to give more details but may not have seen this topic.

So, since I ordered 10 Heavy Duty Servos, I have to use FIVE Dual H-bridges? I am confused.

I ordered ten of the HJ S3315D.

You only use a H-Bridge with motors. Servos do not need them.

Speaking of if he wants feedback he could take apart a high torque servo like tower 995 or similar and use the pot and control board to power the moto and have position feedback.

I ordered a controler and it should be here Today I hope:)

Thanks again for all the help guys.

Later,

Michael
