We have a blue boat setup, with 2 motors T200(Port and Starport).
We want to add a third motor( forward thrust only) and we can’t seem to be able to get to work independently and assign it to the XBOX controller.The 2 existing motors are connected to PWM1 and PWM3. The 3rd motor is connected to PWM2.
We need help in setting up this 3rd Motor. Any help will be appreciate.
Hi @AntreasLouca -
I’m a bit confused - what is the purpose of the third motor in your application?
ArduRover does not have a frame type for a 3 motor vehicle…although others have asked about this before - in a more relevant forum.
If you want more speed or efficiency from the BlueBoat, adding additional motors is not going to help! The 3 m/s top speed is the “hull speed” limit, and adding additional power will only slightly increase things. When testing running M500s, larger, props, and 6S batteries only 4 m/s was achieved, but used over 1.5 kW!
The BlueBoat uses M200s, not T200s!
