When I monitor the outputs on the Blue/Green (A/B) wires, I only see 5V high even as the motor/wheel to which its attached is rotating.
Anything missing here? Any suggestions on how best to unit test?
We didn't do any test about the MTBF before.
Besides, could you inform why do you want to know the bearing of the output shaft of the motor, since the shaft of the gearbox is the one connected to the wheel.
JaneYu I would like to know because I read that bushings don't last as long as bearings. Do you have even a rough estimate of the MTBF, 100 hours, 1000 hours, 10000 hours, 100 000 hours, etc.?
I hope all is well with you. In my project the electrical and mechanical specifications are needed, such as armature resistance, viscose friction of armature and gear box, etc. Can you provide such information for me.
Thanks
JaneYu Do you have a oscilloscope? Have you measure the output signal wave shape? And it is better to post this question on the forum. we can add some photo and picture on it.
