Usin Basic Stamp to control a "BIG" robot

jav2cube

I'm trying to use Basic Stamp to control a robot much bigger than boe-bot.
·I thin i'll need high torque DC motors or better servos. The fact is that i'm still newbie and i need help of how control them. Any ideas??

You control them the same way you do on the boebot. You just need to add power handling "glue" between the BS and the devices you use. Glue is the equipment you need to handle the extra power your devices need like mosfets h-bridges and the like.

This is what we use on our bigger bots, they are pricey, but provide full speed control in both directions using the exact same code the BoE-bot servos do.

Another Motor Controller that can control DC Motors and uses the same control signals as the BOE-Bot Servos is the HB-25 Motor Controller at the following link.· I hope this helps.· Take care.
