Speed Controllers Recommendations?

Oh ok that's cool. Has anyone screwed servo's to a wheel chair joy stick?

It has been done for some very cheap builds- more in the time of robot wars than these days I beleive.

I reckon if you were doing it that way you'd want some kind of remote kill in there too, or at least I would if it were me.

[Max]

It would probably be a more reliable setup to use a bang bang style controller using relays, servos and microswitches or with servos making direct connections between wires giving 'full on or full off' control. Although this can make steering difficult it will probably be less prone to breaking from too much current than a joystick.

Ok no problem. I'll get saving for a propper ESC.

How do you get contact with Ian Watts, because the Wotty Controller?

ian_watts

don't expect a quick reply...... but he will get back to you.

[IceMaster]

Interest definitely, I just do not know what I need, an excerpt of my mail to Ian Watts...

Single Channel Controller for the Weapon of Luzifer
Continuous current 160A
And Surge Current 300A
I have in my Robot this Weapon engine...
http://www.robotmarketplace.com/products/0-A28-150.html
The Stall Current is 285A

Where the controller for this?

And the most important question, for me, how big is the controller and what he weighs?

And of course, what is the price?

[razerdave]

Do you really need controlled movement, or can you just run it full power each way with big contacts like Beta did?

[terry]

Ahh the watty speed controller is dual chanell.

[IceMaster]

Do you really need controlled movement

Yes Really, the Problem is when the engine by full Power Work, is the scoop as soon as a Flipper, I need CONTROL, also lifts to!

Ahh the watty speed controller is dual chanell.

That is not a Problem, i have Anwer from Ian

The Controller make Maximum Current 160 Amps per Channel for 5 minutes

and important ---Attempt to draw more than 200 amps per channel from it.---

The Engine Stall Current is 285A, the Wotty must therefore be Connected so...



Also the Wotty Duall Channel, would be so the right thing!

i have a wotty 360 for sale if interested.

What is your Price, whit Shipping to Berlin Germany?

[IceMaster]

What would be even better...

http://www.teamstorm.com/storm2/speed.htm

that would be really perfect for Luzifer!

As well as the old Storm i have two 4QD-200 for the Drive and search a Controller for my weapon!

If I could get this controller, it would be even better!

Know one if you ran as is, or was that just a one time special production?

[teamstorm]

The Storm II controllers were a custom build - you would not be able to get new ones made.

We now use a MegaWotty (as named by us!), it's a bespoke designed Wotty which runs 2xLEM130's at 36v with no problem. We also use the same MegaWotty to drive Storm II's arm. If we have a drive failure we can swap them over.

Amazing controller !

[IceMaster]
