Anyone want a non working R2?!?!
Ok..after getting a new control system and finding I had to replace the dome motor, modifying my saturn motor, getting an adapter and wheel, making and mounting a mount for it, waiting for a new ESC..then finally wiring it only to find I fried it, then ordering a repair, sending it back and waiting again, then finally last night I got the new ESC, wired it up....
IT WORKED! For about 10 seconds. Then nothign. The dome quit turning. No..not a loose wire. Traced the problem back to the motor which was a major pain to mount. Reluctantly removed it..touched wires to a battery...worked a little sometimes...opened motor...closed motor...worked like once...
Then nothing. WIll not work at all.
SO I guess my motor modification didn't work...so here I am...do I try again only to duplicate this whole pain in the butt hassle only to end up with the same possible results??
I was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to this being over, then I fried the damn ESC..then last night I thought FINALLLY this can be over and I can be where I was before I started this whole mess...but the laws of fate screwed me over again. At least I had 10 seconds of relief before it ended.
SOOOOOOO SICK OF THIS!

Hey thanks man...
I brought the motor in to work and took it apart. Loks like my soldering had failed so we resoldered and it seems to be working so hopefully tonight I can get it remounted and try it out..
I do have one request..
When you go to Megacon have a wireless webcam feeding the internet mounted in your R2 so I can live as if I were there via the internet. :p
Actually a wireless camera that runs on a 9v battery would work so long as the receiver can be hooked up to a laptop with video inputs.
:p
That's a good idea!!!!!
I'll have to see if there's a internet connection at Mega.
I actually have a cam that I have been saving for R2 to mount behind the radar eye. It was one of my little secrets :o)
That's part of the reason I need the onboard comp in R2.

Really sorry to hear about your dome issue Jason. I guess I'm a little too far to help out but if there is anything I can do just let me know as well. But whatever you do...DON'T GIVE UP!!
Calvin...hahaha...and you call me sneaky..lol...a webcam? What a perfect idea!!!
