My cuts was crooked no matter what I used and I had issues with alining the cross sections.
That's a real shame - could you not get away with shaving little bits off to get things to fit? That's mostly what I did, though I don't have a wedgebot.
not really
So unless someone knows of somewhere I could have got the HPDE cut and drilled for me I'm just going to give HPDE the elbow and maybe look into Hardox as I can get it water cut by K-cut. I would need to use hardox for the wedge plates anyway so might might look at using it on other parts of the robot.
For the most point the design of Wolf-E is the same, but with a better bolting approach added.
I don't suppose anyone has used or is using a turnigy accucel 6 Balanced charger and can recommend a suitable power supply. I'm currently using drill battery packs to power mine and would like a more streamlined power solution.
XBox360/720/one power supply's are usually pretty good, require a little bit of modifying to remove the connector and enable but they're typically around £15 and will do +12V at 18A.
We use one of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC-12V-24V.../291087849273?
The 12V 100W version for £7.99 is fine for a single Accucel 6. We actually have a 400W unit that drives 4 of the new 80W Accucels so we can fast charge all out batteries at an event.
Be aware, XBox PSU's output 12V and 5V Supplies.
I see, what else would that need to work (connectors and etc)?
And just out of interest is there not an alternative that doesn't need me to have to mod or wire it up?
Did some wiring, added connecters, detached the red servo wire from one of the ESCs.
