Team Shakesc : Build Diary

[shakesc]

So ran some testing
Unfortunately 1 motor is running sensored and the other will only run unsensored

All driving tests were done with the motors unsensored

Acceleration


Also youtube
Probably got to around 3/4 stick before impacting the door

Its not lacking in power and all tests I've done I've been impressed by the power these motors can give.

Control tests


Generally controllable but the garage floor isn't very smooth so its not a great surface to do test drives. It gives some demo of forward / reverse
Stick movement isnt too large

Run up test without sensor on both motors

Minimum stick movement to get motor rotation to full stick

Run up test with sensor on left hand motor

Minimum stick movement to get motor rotation to full stick

and youtube


The big difference is the low speed. With the sensor the low speed start up is slower and more controlled
