Radiolink R8FB - setup

Hello,

I have a Radiolink Transmitter R8FB with 8-channel trasmitter R8EF and I don`t know how to set this kit to another application. I made a lawn mower, with one motor on left, and one motor on right side. How can I control the steering? I want to change the speeds and also to set them the same, that if I push both switches to the front, that the mower will move nice and not turn in one way a little bit. I also want to have smooth start option and fast stop mode.

Thank you for your answer!

Hello @Malis,

Welcome to RobotShop community.

Are you using the same type of motor on both side?

Which motor driver are you using?

Can you provide us with some pictures of your setup?

Awaiting your reply.

I used two motors from wheelchair sparky. They are both 450W, 900W peak.

I found an issue, and I solve it.

But I think I have now another issue. The smartdrive controller is heating and controller is losing its power. I put a fan there, but still it doesnt get all power from motors.

Hello @Malis,

Thank you for your reply.

Did you check the specifications of this controller?

You might be withdrawing too much current causing the controller to heat us and eventually fail.

Sincerely,
