Hi,
I try to revive my Wiper one (=Ambrogio L300).
The planetary gear motors are still working and they are very similar to those of the Ardumower-shop.
But, there are 2 thick power wires and 3 (not 4) smaller wires (red, yellow, black) (see picture).
Questions (I'm a complete newbie but want to learn):
- does 3 wires mean: 2 for power and one for a single signal (yellow)
- does the wheel motor from the shop have 2 Hall sensors (so 4 wires) and two signals? (it looks like that in Wiki)
- is it possible then to use the odometry from my own motors with the Ardomower Arduino sketch
- how much voltage is send or should i apply to the sensor? (I can not find the operation voltage of the sensor)
- How will the Arduino know for a given number of impulses what the speed of my particular motor is?
Thanks for help, Peter
