I just ordered one.

Score!

Nice find, Lumi.

I got mine too!

I did not find it.The

I did not find it.

The credits should go to a friend in our hackerspace who shot the email :wink: But I thought you could need one for Walter, so i posted it here.

I wish I could get some specs

I went to the link, saw a free bad-ass motor and got one. I swear, I was there for 10 minutes trying to find a link to a datasheet or specs of any kind, couldn’t find anything. Maybe it was right there and I just didn’t see it.

All I know, is that I saw “electric bike”, “lightweight electric vehicle”, and “100v”…   …Good enough for me.

Cool. Even free shipping.

Cool. Even free shipping. Ordered one.

If I’m reading this right,

If I’m reading this right, the order includes a microcontroller and drivers for the motor too.

If a bunch of LMRians get this package, we could have a challenge to see who comes up with the best motor driver solution.

Microcontroller…

I sure hope that uC comes all attached to something… It looks like it is one of those silly chips that uses those teeny-tiny ball-bearings as pins. I dunno, I just sorta glanced at the info --maybe it was just a “regular” chip with “undermount” pins. All I can say is I would be very happy if I end up with a big ol’ motor, simple make-it-just-go driver that I can make a go cart out of.

No Motor…

Umm…   I don’t think we are getting motors, guys…

I just re-read the post, trying to find some specs and, as far as I can tell, it is the drive system kit that we are getting, not the motor. I really hope someone corrects me on this one though.

My thoughts exactly!

I read and re-read it hoping i wasn’t wrong, but i couldn’t find one hint of it including the motor, only the driver, 100V mosfet driver and the isolation amp. I just hope it comes with one. Would be real great if i could make my own scooter. :slight_smile:

UPDATE

My local FedEx P/O has picked it up, i’ve tracked it using the tracking numbuh provided. It seems the entire package weighs 300grams. That doesn’t sound good. Well, there still a small chance of hope…

That would make more sense Chris

I thought it a bit unusual for a semi maker to be giving away motors. Unless you get the motor and drive together but that would be overly generous when such offers usually cost in the hundreds of dollars upwards.

well, I am sorry but you

well, I am sorry but you guys might be right. I read it again too but it seems there is no motor included. However, the driver kit should be interesting too.

Bummer

I don’t have a website, won’t let me order one. So, is a motor included? I’ve been trying to get the money together to build an electric bike. Already have a stripped down Honda Rebel, waiting on a motor.

Just try to put "no website"

Just try to put “no website” into the field :wink:

About the motor…we are not sure since Fedex shipping information says 0.3kg

Nice thought ig!
We can have another challenge- one where we can have people competing for the best use of that motor. A bunch if lmrians have ordered it, me included. Just hope they ship it.

Anyone received the package?
If you do, then please post pics of it here do that others can understand what they are shipping. I had planned to use that motor for lunabotics mining competition.

<font=“verdana” color=“brown” size=“5”>Damn them if it doesn’t contain the motor

It’s just shipped by today

It’s just shipped by today and will arrive withing 5 days they said. Most certainly there is no motor included since the package weights only 0.3kg. But yeah, we will post pictures :wink:

Shipping contents-

Devices included in this sample kit:

LM5101B – 100V MOSFET Driver

LM3S8971 - Stellaris® Integrated Motor Control/Driver

AMC1200 – Isolation Amplifier

That’s what it said on that site…

 

3 freakin’ days!

ordered one and it’s in shipped status via fedex, waiting for 3 days :smiley:

I don’t think it include the

I don’t think it include the motor either but a 100V motor driver for $0.00 is not bad at all.
