APM 2.6 UGV - 2 motors + chain system + ArduRover/APM control

Posted by U Hobbies on June 21, 2015 at 3:03pm

Okay, so we're planning our new project, basically a rover driven by 2 motors and a chain/gear system, almost exactly like this: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/rtp-robot-test-platform

RTP%20-%203D%20Model%20-%20render%203.jpg?width=600RTP%20-%203D%20Model%20-%20render%201.jpg?width=600

The motors are pretty much the same, 500W 24V motors, using 36V 70A speed controllers... thats kinda sorted out, but we need to control it using an APM 2.6 or Pixhawk... any ideas? much appreciated.

    Keep us posted of your progress is a great idea :-)

    How are you planning on interfacing those speed controllers to the Pixhawk.  Is their BEC in the correct voltage range and the PWM correct?

    Thanks, Grant.
