Hello! I am hacking an i-Cybie dog robot which has 16 motors, but I am quite new to robotics. I plan to use the motors and the plastic body/base of the dog but everything else will be new and controlled by Arduino. I also plan to hook up potentiometers to the motors so I can tell the position of their rotation. I am not sure what voltage the motors are independently, but the battery that powered the entire dog is 12V/900mah.
Any advice on what I can use to control the motors and their respective pots?
I’ve actually seen it before and read it thoroughly; unfortunately they are all of the original hardware/circuit boards and not adding their own motor controls. I guess they are more “hacking” it while I am more rebuilding it so I can design and write my own AI. (I am more of a software/algorithm person than hardware/electronics.)
