The
Ant 150-02 R/C Robot Controller offers unparalleled control, functionality
and reliability for your creation with dual motor drive with optional
mixing (single stick), exponential curve (improves controllability)
and a FLIP input that corrects motor drive output for robots that
are invertible. The
ANT 150-02 controller adds a 15A variable AUX switch to the ANT100
model. Otherwise the specifications are mostly the
same.
Specifications:
- 1-1/2" sq board , weight is only 8 grams (16 grams with cables & connectors-
0.5 oz), 1-1/4" hole pattern for 4-40 bolts.
- 5-14 cell NiCad or NiMh input (6V - 16.8V) OR 2-7 cell LiPoly
- Left/Right drive rated for 2.0 amps each, 5 amp peak. Fully protected
against overloads and shorts.
- Selectable channel mixing for single stick control.
- Selectable exponential transfer curve for greater control.
- +5v power supplied to radio. (Battery elimination circuit -BEC)
- Ultra efficient driver needs no heat sink.
- Advanced switching for precise control at low speeds.
- FLIP input for automatic drive correction of invertible robots compatible
with R/C signals OR contact closure (cable not included).
- Status LED indicating signal presence for each channel or fault conditions
with drivers (over temperature, over current or disconnected motor)
- Aux channel (Ant 150 only) rated for 15A peak, 8A continuous. Variable
0-100% power with forward stick (on on-off with switch or button).
On
board channel mixing and exponential control allows inexpensive AM
and FM ground radios to perform like the expensive computerized radios.
In addition, the ANT controller have robust input signal processing
for reliable robot control. If the signal is corrupted or lost
the robot will shut down within 1/2 second
AUX
weapon channel (Ant 150 only) has safety lock: control must be neutral
or reverse stick before output enabled.
The
ANT boards are designed to perform without a heat sink: the board
has a heavy 2 oz copper ground plane that acts as the heat sink. The
driver chips are mounted on the bottom of the board so that it may be
bolted to a heat sink (e.g. robot chassis) to extend the power dissipation
capacity. To learn more about power handling capabilities of
the ANT boards, please read the users guides.
