DFRduino beginner kit DC motor specs
alexpenney404 2017-04-27 09:36:00 2145 Views2 Replies I am planning on using the DC motor included in the DFRduino beginner kit in a miniature motorized quadriped walker thingy. Right now I am trying to determine the proper gear ratio to use, but I've hit a wall because I don't know the RPM of the motor for common voltages used when working off of an arduino. I really only need ballpark ranges to expect for light-load situations, because I can always use more or less gears in the final product. Any information you could send my way on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I am well aware that the DC motor in the kit only has on/off functionality; what I wanted to know was about how fast it spins when no load or very light loads are applied. I guess I'll just have to guess and check when it comes to making a gear train for it; if I can find or infer the light-load RPM for the motor I will be sure to post it here. alexpenney404

Sorry for the late reply. The 130 motor in the beginning kit is a very simple one, even we cant control it via PWM. There are only two modes-on/off, which can be controlled via a relay. Sorry, I am afraid we dont have the relevant parameters you need. Or do you mean you are buliding a robot? If so, maybe some other DC motors would be more suitable. Wendy.Hu
