  Re: Burning hot motor driver chips.
 
Anthony can correct me if I'm wrong, but generally the phrase "converting an R/C car" means, taking a Radio Controlled model car, modifying and/or removing the radio receiver and motor driver circuitry, and replacing it with a computer. The generic (...) (27 years ago, 1-Oct-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Burning hot motor driver chips.
 
Anthony, As you've no doubt heard, RC motors take much more current than the Handyboard can supply. To control RC motors your only choice is to create a separate H-bridge to drive the motors. You can do this fairly inexpensively with power (...) (27 years ago, 10-Nov-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

What does "RC" stand for anyway? I don't think it's Radio Control...is it? ---...--- ericson mar Master of Engineering Candidate Project: Mobile Robotics mar@cooper.edu (212)353-4356 Department of Mechanical Engineering The Cooper Union for the (...)

So am I correct to assume that an RC motor had a built in RF reciever? ---...--- ericson mar Master of Engineering Candidate Project: Mobile Robotics mar@cooper.edu (212)353-4356 Department of Mechanical Engineering The Cooper Union for the (...)

  Re: Burning hot motor driver chips.
 
(...) Well, that's partially correct. The RC cars usually have a speed control/ steering module that incorporates the RF receiver. This module supplies PWM signals to the drive motor and also controls a steering servomotor. Marco A.A. de Oliveira (...) (27 years ago, 11-Nov-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Burning hot motor driver chips.
 
So I guess RC servos/motors are regular servo motors and DC motors that have been stripped from RC cars? Are they any diferent from regular servo/DC motors? If not, then why lable them as "RC"? Since the RF component isn't there anymore... :-/ (...) (27 years ago, 11-Nov-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
