Who has released the Magic Smoke!!!

[waiakea2024]

We finally have this past Monday. Luckily nothing was damaged. The wire that shorted looked really bad though.

We toasted both of our small banebot motors. We ended up not using them anyway. I like the Keyangs much better.

Cool, it's team 2024 in hawai'i... greetings from 2025 from Minnesota!!

I was hooking up the y-cable PWM to the camera when the other side of the y dropped onto the 120amp breaker nut and grouded out. The ground cable shot up a huge cloud of fetid yellow smoke.

Then a few days later an RS-540 fried itself because our arm dropped down past the limit of travel... turned the insides nice and charcoaly.

We released the smoke while testing our electronics. There was a short in a motor controller and when we tried touching wires to it from the motors to make sure they worked someone got a hot reception and our robot lost its smoke virginity....*tear* they grow up so fast....
