A short maybe, or a loose connection?

hexpod•9/2/24, 8:26 PM

Hmmmm. The strange thing is that it occurs only when the board is DC powered.

If the wire is long from the grip to the board it might pickup noise - I recommend using a shielded cable or adding a ferrite choke with a one/few turns

Hi, can someone explain the 3 different DC motors offered on the VPForce website, 57BLF03, 86BLF04 and 86BLF03?
I would like to get single motor and controller to build a collective…..which motor is best for this DIY project. Ta

MMike T Hi, can someone explain the 3 different DC motors offered on the VPForce website...

TheAmazinGreat•9/5/24, 12:23 AM

First two numbers are the dimensions of the motors 57mm vs 86mm. The 86 are bigger motors than the 57 but the 86BLF04 is bigger (longer) than the 86BLF03. Bigger motor means more force.

I think for collective, most people are doing 86 series. 03 would probably be fine but for only 20€ more, you can get the stronger 04 motor kit.

TheAmazinGreat•9/5/24, 12:24 AM

From the FAQ:

What kind of motor are available?
Three types of motors are available:
57BLF03 - 57x101mm - 1.6Nm peak - 1.24kg - NEMA23 [used in the RHINO base]
86BLF03 - 86x81mm - 3.2Nm peak - 2.2kg - NEMA34
86BLF04 - 86x94mm - 4.2Nm peak - 2.75kg - NEMA34

Sageh•9/5/24, 7:43 AM

Has the price of 800 € for the base at some point changed from VAT included to VAT excluded? In February at least an invoice to Finland was 800 €, tax included, but mine just now was 800 €, tax excluded. It's a pretty substantial change.

walmis•9/5/24, 8:02 AM

Yes, since July (mentioned on the order page)
