Motors + Encoders

Zephod · 2013-09-25 22:12:26 UTC

Absolute rotary encoders - and maybe linear absolute encoders too?

mmeixner · 2013-09-26 08:08:10 UTC

Absolutely! +10

having a blast with makeblock

A device including the motor and the pulse encoder will be already nice

The encoder motor is on the way.

Georges · 2013-09-29 18:27:02 UTC

Good news

Need beta testers ?

Georges

Zephod · 2013-09-30 12:17:43 UTC

Ooh that looks nice!

What features does the board support? Does it behave like a servo drive? Or as a stepper motor? Or both?

Georges · 2013-10-04 17:31:50 UTC

Any idea about a date for these motors ?

Hi @Georges @Zephod, we are asking for beta testing customers, would like to join in? please see details here: http://forum.makeblock.cc/t/dc-motor-encoder-and-driver-test-project/225

I have already ordered my kit, so I am guessing encoders will not be included. How far along are the encoders? When will you start taking orders?

Kind regards,
Grey

Hi, Sorry for the delay in answering… We are planning to list the encoders in two weeks from now, I will publish the news when all things are prepared.

BridgerWild · 2014-03-10 20:15:30 UTC

When are you going to list the encoders?

Johnny · 2014-03-13 01:56:21 UTC

We have got the sample. I am sure they are coming soon. We want to make things perfect. Please forgive our delay.

Hi . . Is there any updates regarding the motor encoders ?

Johnny · 2014-10-30 02:51:12 UTC

Hi @belal, the schedule of factory is really slow here. Maybe 1 month later. We will put the news here ASAP if we get it.

Ilya_Nekhay · 2014-12-22 16:36:28 UTC

Sorry, but… still nothing?

Johnny · 2014-12-23 01:44:50 UTC

The encoders and motors could be available this week.

Johnny · 2014-12-29 02:00:29 UTC

The encoder is coming!

BridgerWild · 2015-01-08 20:11:06 UTC

Will we be able to use the MakeBlock App to control the encoders?

Johnny · 2015-01-10 01:56:00 UTC

Sorry, we have not added the function into App right now. We will do it later.

For a cool robot we need motors with encoders.
It is the best way to calculate displacement.
Something like 256 pulses per turn will be nice.

For me is the only thinks missing in the Makeblock portfolio.

Perhaps we can put a shaft encoder rear at the motor ?
