Photoelectric Encoder Motor 180RPM
Photoelectric Encoder Motor 180RPM
Overview
Photoelectric encoder is used in the photoelectric encoder motor 180RPM for high-precision control. It can be flexibly used with other parts. There are two M4 threaded holes on three sides of the motor respectively, so it can be easily fixed with Makeblock mechanical parts. Meanwhile, the noise is low when the motor is running and large torque is available for a long time since customized material is used. The motor supports multiple motor drivers and main control boards, such as Orion, MegaPi, MegaPi Pro, and Me Auriga.

Programming Guide
Block description (main control board: Auriga)
After running the following program, encoder motor 1 and encoder motor 2 rotate at the speed of 100RPM for 1 second and stop rotating for 1 second, and repeat this process.
After running the following program, encoder motor 1 and encoder motor 2 rotate at the speed of 100RPM for 1 second and stop rotating for 1 second, and repeat this process.
If you use Arduino programming, you need to use Makeblock-Library-master to control the motor.
After running the following program, encoder motor 1 and encoder motor 2 rotate at the speed of 100RPM for 1 second and then stop rotating for 1 second, and repeat this process.
- Install MegaPi Pro on Raspberry Pi, and connect the photoelectric encoder motor 180RPM to the DC/encoder driver.
- Install the latest Makeblock library for Raspberry Pi, do a “pip3 install makeblock” in the command line, and then do an “upgrade” in the command line.
- Create a Python file suffixed with .py.
- Write a program in the Python file.
- Run the Python file, for example, “python123.py”.
After running the following program, the encoder motor connected to port 1 for DC/encoder motor on MegaPi Pro rotates clockwise at the speed of 50RPM for 2 seconds, stops rotating for 1 second, rotates anticlockwise at the speed of 50RPM for 2 seconds, stops rotating for 1 second, and repeats this process.
After running the following program, the encoder motor connected to port 1 for DC/encoder motor on MegaPi Pro rotates to the specified position.
Wiring Mode
Connect the photoelectric encoder motor 180RPM to the port for encoder motor on the main control board or the port for encoder motor on the encoder motor driver by using the cable for photoelectric encoder motor 180RPM.
The photoelectric encoder motor 180RPM can be used to provide power or used as a part of the chassis of mBot Ranger. Its shaft is compatible with the plastic timing pulley 62T with step and the plastic timing pulley 90T with step on Maker’s Platform of Makeblock.
