The Robot Power Vyper is a
flexible high-performance one-channel motor controller for medium to
large mobile robots such as firefighting robots, sumo, robotic combat,
theater props, inspection and other applications. It may be used on
robots up to as much as 500 pounds or more as long as the motor current
limits are respected.
Also the Vyper supports manually
controlled "throttle" applications such as scooters, boats,
winches and others using a pot or other analog voltage control. Similarly
the Vyper is suitable for applications
including lights, hydraulic valves, pumps and other non-robot uses.
Features
The Vyper contains the following features:
- 120A continuous current (>250A peak!)
- 7.0V to 36V battery
voltage
- Overtemp protection
- Size: 3.125" x
2.875" x 1.375"
- Weight: 6.5 oz (185g)
without wires
- Input pin headers for:
- RC input or Pot/Voltage
Control - fully reversible H-bridge channel
- Limit Switch inputs
- Indicator LED for speed
and direction. A status/error LED shows the control signal status
and error conditions
- Failsafe shuts off motor
if control signal is lost
- Calibration function to
match Vyper to your radio or analog pot
source - settings stored in EEPROM
- Switching style 5V
regulator (BEC function) eliminates battery voltage worries and
provides increased current on the 5V rail for the newer 2.4GHz radio
receivers - BEC can be disabled
- RC Mode Options:
- BEC On/Off
- Brake or Coast at zero
speed
- Lipo battery cut-off On/Off
- Pot Mode Options:
- Forward only or
Forward/Reverse control
- SafeStart On/Off (control must be
set to zero speed to start)
