"Governor" mode could well be useful as well.
It'd make bots drive straighter at least, the big gun boats people would like a governor mode on reverse too.

Step 0 is getting the pin map sorted and it working on SimonK. Been focussing on a few other things atm. And F$#%$# %$ destroying USB3 ports Sad

Hopefully I can get a prototype working by next weekend.
We will be at Sydney Maker Faire this weekend so come down and say hi if your about.

So that was easy once I worked out what I had done wrong. The mux for the ADC works in binary not on a Pin Mask. I was very confused how my voltage cutoff was working at all but it was just me reading it wrong.

I have SFA decent batteries left I ended up grabbing a random battery which had at some point in time being used for my middleweight and then ended up on a experimental robot which need to run for 12hrs straight. It is connected through some horrible assortment of clips and what not.

End result

Seems to work ok. SimonK is a bit painful to read in assembly and there is lots of stuff in there we don't need. Honestly the reversing seems almost flawless on the bench motor hops around quite violently.

If I magically find some spare time amongst all the other things I do I shall setup a test platform tomorrow.

I went to try and mount those gearboxes. And after 10min out in the shed was like nope too cold.

So I did some bad things to the shaft.

Would you say that you don't need sensored brushless motors to have good low speed drivability based on you experiments?

It is 20 degrees in Logan City at 3am. Just saying.

I would have to try it on a proper platform but that is my belief.

The versions in Nebelwerfer do the job nicely. But for feathers, I quess we'll have to experiment with larger diameter motors. And that's a problem with the Gimson GR02's. The pinions are ment for a 1/8" shaft.

(I could send a handfull of those pinions by post to get bored and reamed)

Anything with a 5mm axle can be fitted to the Robotpower Magnums. Unfortunatly, Customs and taxes make those unaffordable.

So I think Glen's drive with decimator has made a good case for the brushless drive train. Startup is still a bit jerky and the braking doesn't seem as harsh as it could be but seems usable.

Might try mounting the small motors I got on some drills when I get time.
