I just received an email from a friend who believes she has a burnt out Roli motor. The H-bridge and EZ-B pins all check out, and Roli is out of warranty (had and used for almost a year).
Can someone give me the specs of the Roli DC motors, and a link or two of where she (or I) could get a replacement, peferably from the UK?
Cheers.
You can also get a replacement Roli body at the store here for $79US (plus international shipping) http://www.ez-robot.com/Shop/AccessoriesDetails.aspx?prevCat=9&productNumber=1212 but I am sure when Jeremie sees this he'll be able to supply exact information about the motors used, and they may even be able to supply them. They have occasionally provided replacement parts that are not listed in the store.

I don't think she will want to buy a replacement body just for the motor (single mum with not much disposable income), but if I could get the specs for the motors, I'll be able to easily replace it for her. Hopefully Jeremie will chime in with some info. I have a load of different small DC motors with vairing voltages, so hopefully I could use one of them if I can find one with the right specs, and size.
Thanks again.
We have plenty of replacements here at the shop that we'd be happy to hook you up with. Just say the word and we'll send one (or more) your way. I'll leave it to Alan or James to get a quote for you.
Btw, E4-B4 won in an instructable contest today. Hopefully a plus for EZ-robot.
Thanks!
