About the DRV8311 on motor driver PCB
DRV8311 on motor driver is an open source PCB design by techy-robot, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 11 × 11 mm, with 11 components from 8 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the DRV8311HRRWR. By type, the board carries 7 capacitors, 3 resistors and 1 IC.
It belongs with the robotics & motion designs in this gallery.
From the project
Tiny drone motors with a high reduction gearbox, a precise mangetic encoder, and a FOC controller
I'm currently thinking about having a cycloidal or split-ring planetary gearbox, due to the compact size and high reduction ratios
Preliminary CAD designs are on onshape, you can watch my progress here: Mighty Micro Motors - Onshape. Step files and STL files will also be uploaded to this repo.
Currently the design is twice as big as my ideal, with a 19mm diameter. I can not reduce the diameter without removing the bearings, possible reducing the lifespan. This really needs to be smaller, so I may do some testing and just remove some bearings. I'm not actually sure how well the 1x3x1mm…
