Ok. I am relatively new at this meaning, I haven’t messed with this stuff since the 8th grade and I’m 37 now so you do the math.
Anyway, I have a useful project i’m working and basically its a remote control golf caddy. My goal is to have an electric caddy that is light weight (relatively), portable, durable, and that can be controlled via a wireless remote that is pocket size or via a smartphone application. My checklist of what I have figured out so far and questions are below:**
Power Supply:** 2 12v SLA batteries wired in series for 24v/ ancillary batteries for controllers etc…**
Motors & Wheels:** 2 24v Pride Joy electric wheelchair motors, wheels for the motors, front wheels from home depot**
Frame:** PVC and reinforced plastic**
Motor Controller and Wireless Options: ???***What are my best options for Motor Controllers along with wireless controls and/or smartphone apps?*I have seen small robots on youtube however they use IR, and I want at least 120 yard range and yet only have a tiny remote to operate.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. There are existing companies that sell these things at an extremely high price with limited and disappointing results (nobody has a smartphone app though). I need something that will last 6 hours and climb hills etc… which is why I am doing this.
Kind regards
