I have recently fitted a lifter system in my robot, but it isnt working. The wheels are working and Im sure of the wiring but the lifter just doesnt work. I followed the Techno Bots instructions.
Dont know what to do!
Thanks Alex
How do you activate the lifter?
Will the lifter work if connected to a battery?
Got a picture?
What are the Technobots instructions?
Have you asked paul/jackie at technobots?
Zeobot lifter?

The lifter is activated by the 3rd channel on my tx.
the lifter motor does work if connected to a battery.
i think the instructions are on the techno bots wedsite, under the zeobot area and kit d
i will upload a pic later.
thanks
Can you hear the R/C Relay click?
If yes ........Check the microswitch connections ..........you should be using the COM and NC connection.
COM = Common .... NC = Normally Closed.
I have got it working in a way, first i had put the rc switcher the wrong way round in the rx, and the micro switchers had the wrong wires going to them. any way once these things had been fixed i turned it on and the switcher started to smoke a tiny bit, therefore i turned it off and tried again it didnt smoke and so i pushed the ch3 forward. now the motor goes clockwise and 1 microswitcher is working but the motor wont go backwards (but the switcher clicks) and i cant test the other micro switchers. and on some occasions the motor doesnt turn when the ch3 is pushed forward but the switcher is clicking
hope you can follow this and have you any suggestions....
thanks
SMOKE .....BAD!
Id suggest that youve burnt out the R/C switch or at least one side of it.
:sad:
can this be undne ???????????????
Well ...... I suspect that the relay can be replaced.
But its not something I would wish to try and explain.
A fuse in the circuit might well have saved the r/c switch.
