Re: CALEI -JAC

thanks, I take it I won't need to do anything to it, other than wire it up to get it working? will it be be less bright on 18.5v than on 24V?

Re: CALEI -JAC

Yup, wire across the main power leads (in parallel with battery output, just after the link). Just slightly dimmer, should do the job

Re: CALEI -JAC

Billy hasn't signed in since early August. It's a shame, I wanted to see this lifter mechanism working! Anyone got contact details for him? Ask him to update us!

Re: CALEI -JAC

hi all,

yes still being built - just back from over seas with the T.A

so i'll be plodding along with my bot soon i hope. Alot of catching up to do.

Re: CALEI -JAC

Oh great, I'm looking forward to it. I am interested to see how your lifter performs as I may do something similar.

Re: CALEI -JAC

hopefully it'll work great. I'll do a test run and get a video on.

update
=======

OK i've been away for a while and getting back to bot building. I've been looking at my bot and in short it's sh*te. I've have two much space in parts that I don't need and not enough in areas that I do....so I've ordered some new material and the bot will be similar in design but be smaller - new size will be 400mm long x 300mm wide height approx 150mm.

Re: CALEI -JAC

The base arrived today

300 x 400mm x 3mm aluminium plate:

I've ordered 2 of Gimosn Robotic motors for drive, and 100mm blue wheels.



I've also ordered a motor and lifter arm from a rover front car seat here:



This will be attached to my lifter and will be ran on 18.5v also (rather than 12v)

Re: CALEI -JAC

I was planning on using another Gimson motor with a car jack threaded rod however went with this option as suggest on another thread.
