Re: Spikes
i'm not bad mouthing them or anything...... just keep having problems iwth the victors........... the robot is wired to the exact power requirements as per that doc.... we have tried rewiring the board....
The latest explosion was oneof the transistors on the topside of the victor.... we were running it with no load on its side to show the system to some new people. it blew up , and stopped working in one direction, whilt taking it back to storage , it blew again and has since stopped moving that wheel. I found a topic that says about wiring up a spike to run both ways... i'll try and get the software guy to write the code for that. What sort of system setup info do you require?
The electronics are all mounted on a board. I'll try and take a digital camera and photo it for you... as far as i know , tehre are no schematics for the electronics...
