Everyone's favorite dual brushed esc for Antweights is back!! The Nano V2.1 has everything you love about the original plus improvements such as the calibrate button has been eliminated and replaced by contact pads to avoid accidentally hit it in combat. It also comes in at a very affordable $25, $10 less than the previous generation.
The Robot Power Scorpion Nano is a super small low-cost high-performance dual channel H-bridge speed controller for small robots, and other electrical loads. It is designed for ant and beetle weight combat robots.
The Scorpion Nano is designed to pack the highest power handling capability, flexibility of control and usability options into one of the smallest dual motor controls available.
NOTE: Nanos from PBB ship unmixed to accommodate the majority of builders mixing in the radio.
Features:
- PCB Size: 0.78" (19.85mm) x 0.68" (17.5mm) x .11" (3.81mm)
- Weight: 6.3 grams
- Standard R/C pulse format
- 3.3V to 16V battery voltage
- 1.2A continuous (2A peak) current on each channel.
- Fully reversible H-bridge design. Equal power handling in both directions on both channels.
- Full current limiting and over temp limiting. Motors and batteries are protected from dead short conditions.
- Two channels may be either mixed (throttle/steering) or separately controlled. Ideal for skid steer vehicles/robots.
- Status LED status information and mode indications
- Receiver battery eliminator circuit (BEC) standard - may be disabled. This can provide up to 100 mA of current at 3.3V to the RC receiver and other attached electronic circuits.
- Failsafe shuts off motors if R/C signal is lost
- Calibrate function to match unit to radio signal range. Settings retained in EEPROM non-volatile storage.
- Mix Jumper can be cut to enable separate control of each channel
- Comes with pre-soldered RC and battery/motor wires for easy assembly into your robot
Scorpion Nano Controls
- MX (mixing) Jumper INTACT throttle/steering Mix-mode, CUT gives separate control of Channel 1 and 2
- CAL contact pads.
- STAT LED indicates unit operating status and error conditions
