    Hey guys just lookin to see if these ever get sold off for something bigger/better maybe, and saving a few $$ never hurts.


    Lmk what you got.

    Thanks

    Nick

    PS shipping to Canada eh. =)



    Kinda new to all this, but Can these thing's wear out ? How old are your's and would this be just the chips themselves or the Fan/heatsink stuff with it ? (could easily source my own if needed) just curious is all

    They dont really wear out. Put a heatsink on the big chip and fam cool them. @eaorobbie has run a set for 4 years I think with no problems. I have run a pair for over 2 years no problem either.
    Prodigy didnt set them up right in PID and didnt listen to the people whom know about them.
    There is NOTHING that matches the performance and speed of the JRK in the 12v range, NOTHING. No ard, amc, kangaroo, simaxe code can match them.

    Worth every dollar they cost mate , Order direct from Pololu, very helpful if they have an issue, plus you can not tell what your getting until they are plugged in, just beware.

    Im sorry too, been planing on doing a proper write up for Jrk use in SimTools, keep getting side tracked. Get there one day or another member will beat me, which is cool, I can help them make it better too.

    Now that's funny thing to say, because only people I've listened to were yokoyoko, robbie and you. That's why I've said when I got here, that I was sad with robbie's posts being deleted because they were helpful to me.

    It was no PID problem, I did explained you some time ago on the PM that it was an frame design error and bad motors position.

    I didn't say anything about JRKs being bad, I wanted to sell them and the motors because I don't have any more time to fiddle with that, they've been laying aside for months, I'm getting married later this year, too much busy with other stuff and I'm not sure when will I return to simulator building. That's why I'm considering selling these stuff.

    But maybe I will give it the last shot. I'll try with new project, seat mover, plain start, no remakes or salvage of previous sim. Then I will ask you and robbie for help, hopefully that I will get it to work.

    Ok @prodigy , I admit I over reacted. I know yokoyoko didnt want to listen to us and he really buggered things up. Robs posts and also mine got deleted mainly by a certain moderator on the other forum as they had difference interests into how that site was going.
    And yes you are right, it was a bad design, but nothing that was not able to me fixed. (i really must get my memory checked)
    Again apologies. Maybe one day you may get back into a hobby. Goodness knows I sold all my toys during early years of marriage as well.

    I did the same thing ages ago as well....that will teach me to plug the power in the wrong way while the usbs were plugged in. That and I was very stoned. So now I plug power in , plug usb in, have a cone or two and then start racing. No more blow ups

    I split this thread in twain :) The rest of the thread is a discussion of the RoBoClaw so I made a new thread with those posts.
