Re: Cim-Sim gearbox for shooter questions

Is anyone else using that set up for a shooter, and if so what are some tips/tricks that make it work.

Thank you for any advice or help.
what motor(s) are you using ?

what size wheel ?

Jag or Vic ?

what's the total gear ratio from motor rpm to wheel rpm ?

are you running the system open loop or closed loop ?

how many amps are you pulling when the wheel is spun up to speed ? is this at 100% PWM or some lower value ?
