ME Auriga w older 9v DC motors-- hack?


#1

Had the old mbot w Orion, then for an upgrade, purchased the Auriga board. Didnt realize the Auriga used encoder motors and did not buy the ME dual motor driver.

I’m looking for a hack (that wont kill any parts) to run the motors as-is. I tried just hooking up the M1/M2 +/- with various motor commands in mblock, but no go. (you can tell I’m not an expert)

Anyone have any ideas? I have a few but Ill keep them to myself.

Hi Roninisc,
Old mBot w Orion, so, is your kit “Starter”? And below is your motor? 25 DC motor?

If yes, to get it connected with Auriga, you can buy the DC motor driver:

Yes, and yes. I stated that in my post.
Was wondering if there was a trick or hack to do it without the board.


#4

One main reason I ask is that the DC motor driver is out of stock everywhere. Do you know how I can get one?
What else will work?

That board did not come up w search on amazon first time, thanks.

Still curious about self connect. I have the dupont cable and available board pinout pdf, if that is what you mean. The question, yet again, is how to actually do it.
