 | | RE: 3V motors
|

Yes, it is true that altering the duty cycle does not alter the voltage. What it does do it alter the amount of current to the motor. The problem with these motors is that they draw too much current, more than the HB can readily provide them. By (...) (27 years ago, 6-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: 3V motors
|

Also, something to keep in mind regarding the motor drivers is that "lowering the power" doesn't change the drive voltage. I assume (ok, here's a chink in the argument, if this is wrong, I hope Fred or someone will correct me) that the handyboard (...) (27 years ago, 6-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

There a way from assign to a interrupt some function wrote in interactive C? How I can put the vector (for the SPI for example $FFD8) pointing to my source???? Thanks in advance. German Pablo Gentile Analista de Sistemas ggentile@cvtci.com.ar (27 years ago, 6-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | Re: 3V motors

I too had a problem with 3 volt motors. The issue is the height of the PWM output. If you drive your motor function at 50%, then 50% of 9.6V is still much higher than the 3 VDC for full speed. One way to get some resolution is to modify the supply (...) (27 years ago, 6-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi. I am running two 3.3V motors with the handy board. Sometimes The motors would just stop running. The leds that indicates the motors are running are still lit. Also the two chips next the motor output gets very hot. The number on the chip is (...) (27 years ago, 6-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

No, don't use a transistor! The HB's IR out already has one. But the parallel-with-a-sepa...r-for-each method is correct. -Fred In your message you said: (...) (27 years ago, 5-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Run them in parallel, use a transistor.
