Hi y'all,
I have an upcoming project that features tank-style steering— which is to say, separate right and left side controls that can throttle from full speed ahead to full speed reverse without modal switching between forward and reverse. The plan is to have a three or four wheel vehicle with two direct drive hub motor wheels (right and left) that provide both propulsion and steering, with the remaining one or two wheels being unpowered, unsteered casters.
I've been combing through the information junk pile here and elsewhere online, trying to find resources to accomplish this. The closest I've found is controllers that do this with two-wire brushed DC motors. That's not what I want to use, though.
Is anybody here aware of a brushless controller/throttle solution that can transition seamlessly between forward and reverse operation? I don't mind at all having entirely separate right and left drives, but it won't work if the controllers must be switched between forward-driving and reverse-driving modes.
