and what does the IR do
and what does the IR do here ?
What gear box are you using?
Nice bot! What Tamiya twin gearbox are you using and do you recommend it? I a looking for some new motors and you seem to have good speed and still be able to power over your obstacles. Thanks
Tamaiya Twin motor
Hi doesnt the tamaiya twin motor need 2 amp to start?
Doesnt this chip only give 1a?
I use the same motor driver
I use the same motor driver to run a Tamiya dual gearbox. It works fine. Each motor draws less than 1A. The chip provides 600mA tor 1A per channel, which is just enough.
Same motor
did u change the motor or anything because on this web site (http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1680/specs) it says it draws 2.1amps
That’s the stall current.
That’s the stall current. You shouldn’t run into that unless you hit a wall and keep driving.
You can add some fuses to protect against this situation, which is always a good idea.
