Re: Van Door Motor Worm Gear
If i'm not mistaken, you are not allowed to alter any parts of a motor.
Are you trying to do this, though, to make it non-backdriveable?
If so, My team has the same problem; does anyone know a way to keep the van door motors from backdriving, to the extent of about 10 Nm on the shaft, in order to support a tetra on an arm? We thought about having some current running through it to keep it from moving, but then we thought that would burn it out. ANy thoughts?
