      Motor Wheels Not Spinning After Wiring Up

      By Pascal · Posted

      @gazzer23 I haven't wired them up since making my last post, my focus has been on parts unrelated to electronics at the moment.  I'll give it a few more tries, and if I simply cannot get the motors working no matter what I'm willing to sell the controller and have a foot powered Dalek instead. Getting a new joystick would be too costly for me as I have already invested more than I intended into this project.

      Demoulded the dome today, just ran a plastic filler scraper around the edge and inserted a single foam board wedge and it popped right out.  Sanded the edge and a couple stubborn patches that were present in the plug so it's all nice and smooth. Will look to get the eye slot and lights cut out later on in the week!  Also started on the eye, such as cutting the hemi and fitting the can (tho not glued in place just yet). Seems to go together quite nicely.

      Missed a pic from the previous post - just showing some masking once I decided to use Masking Tape on the Dome     After finishing the painting, I decided to get the Dome Lights fitted, I had already printed the shrouds and lenses and purchased some 12v bulbs a while ago.   The bulb holders just fited in the pre printed holes in the Dome and after adding some bullet connectors, I fixed them in with Hot Glue.      Them on with the Moflash Lenses and Surrounds     And then a mock up with the eye in place    Starting to look the part now 🙂   Next job to fit the slats on the shoulders and the Gun and Arm surrounds     Now it looks the business!   The Dalek had been built with the help of the after school club that I have been running. This was to be my last year at this school and I wanted to unvail the 'almost' completed Dalek for the kids to see at the end of year Robotics competition that I also run, due to changes in school this year was to be the biggest but last ever event and it seemed only fitting that the Dalek presided over the competition.   Here it is the night before the first event (4 days), with me stood next to it whilst setting up for the event, helped by my good lady wife.

      Motor Wheels Not Spinning After Wiring Up

      By Aussie Kev · Posted

      Hello @gazzer23 . Going okay. Usual to have good days and bad days. The REM 90 is a great controller. What I call a sequential shifter. Select speed 2. Press the joystick fully forwards and hold it there while you keep pressing the blue speed select button. This will then select speed 3 to speed 4 to speed 5 while you are still moving forwards. From memory my earlier REM 80 is the standard controller. So you have to come to a complete dead stop before you can change speeds while moving forwards. So you can see why I like the REM 90 as a Joystick controller.
