Second spin, side grinder and inflator
Here is another capture using a side grinder as the motor load.
This did not work the first time. I had to:
- sand off the contacts on the grinder to get good contact - the resistance is about 3.2 ohms
- put the little inflator in parallel with it to see if that helped
- put a battery charger on the crappy little 12V gel-cell that I am using for 12V to the controller
It appears that the controller works OK above maybe 11.5V? or perhaps the battery just can't put out the current that the controller needs and it sags? Not sure, but next up I'll try to get off my arse and drag better test batteries out of my garage to see if that helps.
Again, some data removed to fit into the upload file size limit.
This is some *GREAT* progress for me.
When I drag in the larger batteries .. wait - maybe I should drag the controller OUT to the garage! Then I will be able to connect to the netgain Warp 9 and do a test spin.
