Hi all,
So I am building this robot, a dog to be precise, and I am using homopolar motors for its muscles. But they heat up very fast and I think that if I keep going on with this it will eventually burn through. Also, I do not know how close the magnets of the (homemade) homopolar motors can get to the PIC i am using (6 volt operating voltage, if it is better I can limit it to 5). Does anyone have answers for me?
Thanks in advance,
