We’re planning on doing swerve next year, and we have the option of doing falcon or neo motors. We have enough of both, the thing is that the 4 Falcon motors were used during the last two seasons, so we want to make sure they are in a fairly well state to use them.
Is there any way in which we could take care of the Falcons and check their health?
Thanks
A way to check if a motor is a paperweight is by checking if the kv is accurate
Can you elaborate on this? Since some of our faclons date back to 2019/2020 and we have been using them continuously ever since, id l8ke to have some whay of verifying if they are still RFI.
You can measure/log the free (unloaded) speed and current draw, and compare against the nominal specs or a known good (e.g: new) sample.
How can you do this? Sysid?
Just plot the RPM of the motor when you apply 12V to it. Just do a setvoltage command and put the RPM on smart dashboard. Compare against a good motor.
You can use phoenix tuner and run it at max speed and you can see the current being drawn and velocity and I believe input voltage aswell
