Replace motors with brushed
Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2018 11:26 am
I would like to replace the current coreless motors of the CrazyFlie 2.0 with more powerful brushed motors, similar to these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M1 ... UTF8&psc=1
In the crazyflie firmware repository, it seems that there is already support for brushed motors in the motor configuration. However, I see that in "power_distribution_stock.c", that the default motor configuration is set to brushed already: line 52: motorsInit(motorMapDefaultBrushed). This is a bit confusing, however does this mean that I can already connect the brushed motors to it already as is?
I also found the following related topic in this forum about stronger coreless motors: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=871. Do I also have to take the same issues into account (mosfets, battery etc.) or does the current hardware configuration of the Crazyflie 2.0 need more components in order to get this to work?
