Finally new gear motors and wheels ordered
08/16/2014 at 21:18 • 0 commentsI found some matching gear motors for my mouse bot. And wheels which fit on the axes. The wheels are 32 mm in diameter. And the motors rotate with only a liitle start voltage up to max 6 volts. So I can use my stepless motor driver program with them. I hope this parts will arrive soon next week. Maybe I can modify the old motor holding plate to mount the new motors.

New motors
04/26/2014 at 15:04 • 0 commentsThe motors I wanted to use are to weak to direct drive the wheels. Now I want to use gear motors as they have more torque. I have to build a new motor driver circuit with a IRL510A mosfet as the motor switch.

motor holding plate
04/21/2014 at 17:27 • 0 commentsI found a sheet of metal from an old CD ROM drive case. I cutted a stripe of the 1 mm thick metal sheet for the holding plate and bended two holders for the motors.
It's not looking beautiful but it should work. I have to drill two holes in the bottom half of the mouse case to screw the motor holding plate on it.
Now I still need some wheels with 2 mm holes to make them fit to the motors.
