Hi all,
Part of our design calls for holding the BB775 motors at stall at ~20%-40% of the motors maximum stall torque, by controlling the voltage applied to the motor with the Jaguars.
reading
this thread, I understand that if properly tested, this method
may work with the fisher price motors.
I would appreciate your comments and insight from experience regarding attempting this with the BB 775.
Things we think we have going in our favor:
- The motors are designed to work at 18v, and we are using them at 12v, which should increase the margin for error.
- by redcuing the effective voltage to the gearbox with the PWM from the Jags, it is our understanding that the effective current will be decreased as well, helping us avoid a burnout due to thermal failure.
Again, your thoughts and insight are highly appreciated.
