Magician Chassis

ROB-12866 RoHS Open Source Hardware

Description: The Magician Chassis is our latest robot platform from Dagu. It features two gearmotors with 65mm wheels and a rear caster. The chassis plates are cut from acrylic with a wide variety of mounting holes for sensors, controllers, power, etc. Simply bolt the two pre-cut platforms together, attach the motors and caster and add your favorite robotics controller. This kit includes all of the parts needed to assemble the chassis as well as a 4xAA battery holder with barrel jack termination.

This new version comes with new hardware that matches what the instructions actually say is in the kit. No more confusing mix-ups or inconsistencies!

Note: The chassis requires assembly but has detailed instructions.

Dimensions: 110 x 174mm

Features:

Max Motor Voltage: 6VDC
No Load Speed: 90±10rpm
No Load Current:190mA(max.250mA)
Torque: 800gf.cm
Stall Current: ~1A
65mm Diameter Wheels (30mm Wide)
Plastic Rims with Solid Rubber Tires
Dual Output Shafts
Wheel Encoder Boards Included

Did you guys fix the issue where one motor is faster than the other?

  I don’t think yo can call that an “issue”. It’s just the way little permanent magnet motors are, they nearly all turn faster in one direction than the other. With a fresh battery, you can run some trials and work out a table of PWM values that make your robot travel straight. But that falls apart as soon as the battery begins to drain. The real solution is to set up encoders for each wheel and write code to keep the wheels turning at the same rate for a straight line, or in specific ratios for various rates of turn. This kit does come with the toothed encoder wheels that you need to do this, but you will have to buy the sensors.

dumb question but am I suppose to glue the encoder boards on? One of them is very loose. Same question for the wheels as they are only slightly snug.

Am I reading this correct…This revision of the chassis includes the Wheel Encoder Boards? Is this the SEN-12617 RedBot Sensor Wheel Encoder Board?

  Nope, the chassis includes the gear like pieces of acrylic that board reads. I believe they are both technically encoder boards though.

I just purchased the Inventor’s Kit and I would like to get rolling!

Do I need any other components (that aren’t already included in the Inventor’s Kit) to get the Magician Chassis to function (e.g. motor drivers, bridges, shields, diodes, transistors, etc.)?

If someone could help me, that would be awesome. I would really like to purchase this.

  You will need a motor driver of some sort. You may also want to look at out Redbot board which we bundle with this chassis for the Redbot kit. Its basically an Arduino with built in motor drivers. Or you can just go with plain motor drivers. If you have any other questions feel free to email techsupport@sparkfun.com and they should be able to help.
