Hi, I planning on making a sail winch for my RC yacht. My idea is to use a Pololu tic 500 to interface with standard hobby RC to control a stepper motor which through a small gear box operate the sail winding drum. The drum has to rotate at about 3 revs/ sec and deliver in the region of 15 kg cm
Has anyone made one of these and will the combination of RC, tic, stepper motor work ?
@Mike148 Welcome to the RobotShop Community. Although it doesn’t answer your question, are you aware of this servo? It’s multi-turn and made specifically for acting as a winch servo for RC sailboats:
