Hi, I have had some success using a motor controller that uses a pot input but using 2 pots wired together with one on the motor and one attached to a servo so as the one is turned by the servo one way the motor turns the second the other way and brings the total resistance back to what the controller thinks is the centre
On my work break at the moment but I will be able to draw up a diagram when I get home to help clarify Matthew sanders Sent from my HTC ----- Reply message ----- From: "Stephen Cobb" <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Dec 4, 2009 6:59 PM Subject: [TANKS] home made wiper motor servo circuits???? To: "R/C Tank Combat" <[email protected]> I have a need for using available and cheap wiper motors as servo motors. is there a basic circuit for controlling the start/stop position using a rotary or linear encoder circuit or using a pot like small servos? I also have some large powerfull 24v dc wheelchair motors that I would like to maby use if possible. Can anyone point me to a scematic or descrive to me how the basic encoder/servo circuit would work. I would rather build the circuit without any chips or microprocessors if possible. I also have lots or rc servos that I can strip for parts if needed. but I think that a encoder circuit might work better. and I have several encoders striped from old vcr's and printers... -- You are currently subscribed to the "R/C Tank Combat" group.
