Dette beltedrevne chassiset fra Dagu Electronics gir deg en flott base til å bygge en liten, tanks-lignende RC-kjøretøy eller en autonom robot. Chassiset inkluderer en batteriholder og to DC-motorer, med selvstendige drivere for hver kjede, så alt du trenger for å lage en komplett robot er en robotkontroller og sensorene som du velger selv. En unik mekanisme gjør det mulig å konfigurere klaringen av chassiset ved å justere vinkelen på girkassens montering. Denne chassis-versjonen har ikke kodere.
Oversikt
The Rover 5 tracked chassis, made by Dagu Electronics, is a durable robot platform with caterpillar treads that let it drive over many types of surfaces and uneven terrain. All you need to get the chassis moving is a robot controller or motor controller to drive the two built-in DC motors, which powered by the included 6-AA battery holder (AA batteries sold separately). A small Phillips screwdriver and an Allen wrench are included for working with the chassis.
The chassis features a rugged white plastic body with room to house the included battery holder and some additional electronics. The two powerful motors with 86.8:1 gearboxes are strong enough to lift the weight of the chassis and allow it to achieve speeds as high as 10 in/s (25 cm/s). We offer two versions of the Rover 5: with and without quadrature encoders; the encoders provide a resolution of 1000 counts per three revolutions of the wheel, or 333.33 CPR (counting both rising and falling edges of both encoder channels).
A unique feature of this chassis is the ability to adjust its height—and, therefore, the clearance under its body—by changing the angles at which the gearbox assemblies are mounted on the body. Interlocking teeth on the body and the gearboxes hold them in place and allow you to make adjustments in 5° increments by unscrewing a metal bracket inside the chassis, removing a gearbox, and reinserting it at a different angle. The elastic rubber tracks maintain sufficient tension with several different gearbox angles, allowing the chassis height to vary by nearly 1.5" (3.8 cm).
The outer dimensions of the chassis are approximately 9.5" long, 9" wide, and 3" tall in its default, flattened configuration (with the front and rear gearboxes mounted at an angle of 180° to each other).

Using the Chassis
With only four motor leads and two battery leads, it is easy to interface the chassis with most dual motor controllers and robot controllers. Simply connect the battery holder leads to the controller's power source and the motor leads to the controller's motor driver outputs. Each set of motor leads is terminated with a female 3.96 mm pitch, 3-pin JST VH-style connector (the middle pin is not used), which our male premium jumper wires plug into nicely.
The TReX Jr dual motor controller makes it easy to turn this chassis into a platform that can be controlled by RC signals or serial commands, or you can accomplish the same thing by pairing two of our newer Simple Motor Controllers. The Orangutan SV-328 or Baby Orangutan robot controllers work well with this chassis and make it easy to get an autonomous robot up and running (note: the stall current exceeds the ratings for these robot controllers, so make sure to avoid stalling the motors).
The Rover 5 chassis with encoders has two additional bundles of wires, each containing the leads for the quadrature encoder's 5 V power (red), ground (black), and signal (white and yellow) connections; the wires are individually terminated with female connectors that mate with 0.1" (2.54 mm) male headers. Our Pololu AVR Library provides wheel encoder functions that make it easy to use these encoders for position feedback on an Orangutan, and the Orangutan SVP (pictured above) has dedicated inputs for dual quadrature encoders and an auxiliary MCU preprogrammed to process encoder signals.
