Compared to the steppers we stick on our 3D printers, CNC machines and paintball turrets:
- They're way faster 🏃
- Far more powerful (higher torque for longer) 💪
- More accurate (higher resolution) 🎯
- And they're closed loop (they know where they are) 🤖
The only downside is that they're expensive, like hundreds of dollars.
Introducing spin ✨ - the $30 servo for the masses (designed with atopile)
-
Obviously better option than stepper motors for 3D printers, CNC machines and robotics
-
Open-source design that is easy to:
- contribute to
- fork maintainable derivatives of
- robust
-
2x CAN comms with JST-GH connectors
-
XT30 power connector
-
0.25Nm continuous rated torque (0.75Nm peak)
-
<0.1° resolution
-
12V-24V input voltage
This project was written in ato, a new electronics description language we are developing to help create and share electronic designs. If you don't have access to atopile - hang tight, it's coming soon!
