6. MOTOR CONNECTION
Similar to the power supply, connection to the motor can be made either via the terminal
block, or it can be soldered directly to the bottom layer pad.
For MIXED mode, especially for RC input mode, each terminal block must be connected to
the same side of the motor. For example, left terminal block connected to motor LEFT and
right terminal block connected to motor RIGHT. User can further test it by controlling the
motor by using RC controller. If the motor give wrong direction, reverse the polarity of the
motor connection at the terminal block.
WARNING!
IF YOU’RE DEVELOPING A MOBILE ROBOT, PLEASE TAKE NOTE ON THIS:
Pushing the robot without connecting the batteries to the driver is very risky and might
burn the motor driver. When the robot is being pushed, power will be generated by the
motor. If the battery is connected, the generated power will flow to the battery and charge
it. If the battery is not connected, the generated power has nowhere to go and the
voltage will rise. If the generated voltage is higher than what the motor driver can
handle, components may burn!
This condition is categorized under misuse, and
DAMAGED CAUSED BY MISUSE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
What you can do to move your robot from one place to another?
1. If you plan to push/pull the robot, please make sure the batteries is connected to the
motor driver* or
2. disconnect the motor from the motor driver.
3. Use trolley to carry your robot. (Recommended)
*You will feel difficult to push the robot, because the motor driver is in brake state.
