Description

  • Robot Power Vyper 120A DC Motor Single Channel R/C & Analog Motor Controller 120A, 7-36V
  • Supports up to 120A continuous current
  • Includes over-temperature protection
  • Offers fully reversible H-bridge channel
  • Features failsafe mechanism for safety
  • Provides calibration function with EEPROM

The Robot Power Vyper 120A DC Motor Single Channel R/C & Analog Motor Controller 120A, 7-36V is a versatile and high-performance motor controller designed for medium to large mobile robots, including firefighting robots, sumo robots, and robotic combat applications. It is capable of handling robots weighing up to 500 pounds, provided the motor current limits are adhered to. Additionally, the Vyper is suitable for manually controlled applications such as scooters, boats, and winches, as well as non-robotic uses like controlling lights, hydraulic valves, and pumps.

This motor controller supports a continuous current of 120A and can handle peak currents exceeding 250A. It operates within a battery voltage range of 7.0V to 36V and includes over-temperature protection to ensure safe operation. The Vyper features input pin headers for RC input or analog voltage control, offering a fully reversible H-bridge channel. It also includes limit switch inputs and indicator LEDs for speed and direction, along with a status/error LED to display control signal status and error conditions.

The Vyper offers a failsafe mechanism that shuts off the motor if the control signal is lost, enhancing safety during operation. It includes a calibration function to match the controller to the radio or analog pot source, with settings stored in EEPROM for permanent retention. The built-in switching style 5V regulator (BEC function) eliminates battery voltage concerns and provides increased current on the 5V rail for modern 2.4GHz radio receivers, with the option to disable the BEC.

In RC mode, users can toggle the BEC on or off, choose between brake or coast at zero speed, and activate or deactivate the Lipo battery cut-off feature. In pot mode, users can select between forward only or forward/reverse control and enable or disable SafeStart, which requires the control to be set to zero speed to start.

Note: Ensure proper handling of lithium batteries to prevent damage from over-discharge by utilizing the Lipo cut-off feature.

Very reliable and easy to program

It is easy to control and program. I use it on a truck carrying heavy equipment with a potentiometer 0-5K (electric bike). The configuration and schematic instructions provided are clear.

Vyper 120

Use this module on a sawmill feed carriage, works real good !! I had originally chosen an other type with more features and cheaper but was not available so I went with the Vyper 120. Instructions sheet could have more details but RobotPower answered all my questions same day.

Vyper 120A

I am using this motor controller with a 24V geared motor to drive the feed and carriage return on a homebuilt band sawmill. Initial hookup and programing was interesting to say the least as we are using a potentiometer to control forward and reverse speed. The instructions for setting up the programing using the DIP switch were somewhat confusing for this manual control approach and it took quite awhile of trial & error to get the switched in a configuration that worked. Once configured the unit works great but instruction sheet could be greatly improved.
