Hi I've just put together a robot and Im using the Arduino Uno with the Motor Shield R3 and for the drive wheels I used the Tamiya gearbox specs are as follows :Typical operating voltage: 3 V
Free-run motor shaft speed @ 3V:
12300 rpm1
Free-run current @ 3V:
150 mA2
Stall current @ 3V:
2100 mA
Motor shaft stall torque @ 3V:
0.5 oz·in3
The motor shield chip in the middle of the board is getting hot after a short period of time running the 2 motors im using a rechargable 9.6 v 1600mah battery pack for power source. Is there anything wrong with this setup?
Thanks, Shawn
