I'm looking at you, @Mike-Hankey...
Did you already print it? You know, this one here[^].
Well I have and have it sitting on the desk right now. I did not print the tracks yet, but that's because it's still in the last place of my pipeline and I want to get some black filament for the tracks. I used up most of my turd colored filament for the robot and it's going to be airbrushed anyway, but I don't want to have turd tracks.
Anyway, do you know any brushless motor controllers for the Raspberry Pi? All I found was for brushed motors, which I would prefer not to use. I do have two brushless helicopters motors in my parts box, but with around 1 kW they both probably are a little too powerful for bthe little robot and I better get two smaller brushless motors. And I also would like to use other stuff from my parts box, like microservos ore LiPo batteries.

Battletech is quite old. It screams '1970s' everywhere. The targeting computers in those machines come in whole tons and hit less than the average stormtrooper. That must be that way, so it's all about the pilots and not about the machines. As the story wants it, they have been bombing each other into the stone age for centuries and almost have no factories left that still can produce their giant robots. They also have lost the knowledge of how much of the technology actually works.

Not really unfortunate, don't you think?

Depends who has them. If it's me and no-one else, then it's unfortunate for them, but lucky for me!

Hmm, there are guys who call themselves 'the Clans', who had taken a few centuries off and now think it's time to return. Not only did they not lose the technology. They improved it and even invented better stuff. And their toys are in the hands of genetically engineered warriors who have a healthy disgust for a 'freebirth' like you.
No, you really don't want that.

I've had my eye on it but waiting on black filament...any day now.

Yeah I hate turd tracks...
Never worked with brushless motors so have no idea about controllers. For brushed I make my own using the LM298 chip, can handle 2A.
Let me know how it turns out, I want to make one too. I've got some geared motors in the parts box that I've been looking to put somewhere. (I know what you'r going to say...don't go there)

And that's exactly why I prefer cats. They don't poop on the floor and get along with Roombas[^].

Printing was no problem at all. It has only few parts, which you have to print 2 - 4 times. They fit well together. It has no room to install bearings for the moving parts. Too bad, because model helicopters are mostly made of bearings and I have enough in my parts box. Also, I'm going to modify the side pieces that hold the cogs and the tracks. Instead of gluing them, I will drill some holes and install them with a few strong screws. This way I can always take it apart and repair it.
Fir the motors I have now found this[^]. A 30 amp ESC is way too strong for the robot. It could easily be used with the stronger helicopter motors. 10 amps would be plenty and the ESCs are much less expensive (as are the motors). I will look for both in the parts for quadcopters.
When I come home I can post a picture. But be advised: It's has not been painted yet and is still completely in turd.

Brush-less motors I have only used on one occasion and found they ran much hotter than brushed. So I'm guessing the current draw at start is higher (they were used on pulsed loads?) I have always used LM298's and never had an issue

Really? The ones I use[^] don't run hot at all. Right after landing they can be touched and feel only slightly warm. Under the helicopter's canopy there is not really a strong stream of air to cool it. Just look at these values:
Quote: Input voltage: 22,2V (6S)
Max continuous current: 115A/195A (5sec)
Max output power: 2550W/4330W (5sec)
KV value: 960KV

Well this to drive spindle in a test rig with not much air flow in a sealed chamber. So not really a fair test...

Sure, but I don't really see a reason why they should be hotter than regular brushed motors. They also just have coils and magnets. The big difference is that they have no brushes that can wear out and therefore last longer.
