TAMIYA

So hey guys,

My twin-motor gearbox does not work good anymore.

First it was perfect, both had same speed, but now one DC works slower with higher Voltage ??

Motor A runs faster than motor B while motor B uses more voltage

MOTOR A backwards: 2.22V

MOTOR A forwards: 2.30V

MOTOR B backwards: 2.36V

MOTOR B forwards: 2.48V 

What might be the problem?

Hello there, I am building a simple Arduino tank but the problem is that after running it for 20? seconds it starts to run slower and slower. Then after turning it off, and on it does not run anymore. After letting it stay off for almost 5 minutes, it runs really slow. Looks like the 9v battery can't handle it?

Hi, 

I am trying to build a toy car with an arduino. I am using a tamiya twin motor gear box ( as seen on http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1680). This is connected to a track set. ( it pretty much looks like this http://www.pololu.com/picture/view/0J2711). I am using the spark fun motor driver: motor driver 1a dual tb6612FNG on

Hi guys 

I have a question 

I am going to connect it to a picaxe would it work.

I finally got around to starting my first robot (years after i wanted to), after a long detour in playing with microcontrollers to do a bunch of other stuff.  :-p

I ordered most of the parts i need from pololu but now i've found that i need standoffs to add a second tier to my tamiya plate chassis.  I have the tamiya track set and the universal plate set but the standoffs i ordered won't work because they are only 3/16" of threading and the plate is 1/8" thick leaving only 1/16" to try to screw a nut on.

Im trying to run my start here bot that is has a tamiya twin gearbox and SRF05 instead of the IR sensor on it. All the components work, just not together. I wrote my code (most copied from frits) but my robot just goes forward and back, sometimes sideways about 2 centimetres. Can you post anything wrong in the code that may help to fix this problem

I've connected the L298N to one of the motors of the Tamiya Twin Gearbox as per the circuit diagram in the L298N data sheet. But when I set pin 10 and pin 12 to go forward or reverse, nothing happens. The voltage at pin 13 and pin 14 seems to be equal to each other regardless of what I set for pin 10 and pin 12 (with the enable pin on high). This is the Arduino code I have. The diodes I am using are IN4007. I've also tried it with the other H-Bridge and I get the same result.

I'm planning to build a UGV monster truck, based on a Tamiya Super Clodbuster. I've heard that it's a lot cheaper if you buy it in pieces. However, I ran into a bit of a dilemma. The stock monster truck comes with a speed controller. Do I need that too (I don't need any RC functions) or can a motor controller for Arduino or Basic Stamp do the job too. I already own a BS2 with BoE, but I would like to buy an Arduino because it's cheaper, open-source etc. Note: I'm still a beginner in robotics.

I built my gearbox in the wrong configuration, it was 3 months ago and I lost it... Does anyone have a JPEG a PDF or anything else of the plan for that gearbox ?
