R2 Upgraded to 24v for Christmas!

Going from 12v to 24v equals FAST!

I got the courage to serial the 2 batteries I have been using (they worked great during the release event in that each one gave me roughly 5 hours of run time while the other charged) and generate 24v to the 2 motor controllers on the R2 unit.

Foot Motor Controller: Dimension engineering Sabertooth 2 x 25 controller (2 x 25amp max)
Dome Motor Controller: Dimension engineering Syren 10a (1 x 10amp max)

The new connections now are:
  1. Serial 2 x 12v 18ah batteries connected to power distribution board
  2. a. Distribution board connects both the syren and sabertooth input to 24v now
    b. Distribution board connects to a 24/30v step down to 12v 10ah convertor
  3. 12v Convertor connects to the original 12v distribution board that powers everything else


Works perfectly!  he moves!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
