Following on from a previous post I'm building my daughter a six-wheel-drive mountain going wheelchair.
The motors I plan to use are typical Chinese motorised hubs that are used on e-bikes.
There will be six brushless motors rated at 1500w each.
rated current is 25a
max current is 45a
At the moment, I'm thinking three motors will be wired in series on each side and I'm now searching for a suitable dual channel controller (I'm assuming a six channel controller doesn't exist).
The controller needs to be programmable.
I need to be able to hook up an RC receiver, as well as be able to operate it with joysticks.
Although not absolutely essential, it would be good if I could hook up a Raspberry Pi or Arduino too.
Networking is not important.
Max draw per channel, if I'm not mistaken, needs to be at least 150a.
The only suitable controller I've come accross is the Roboteq GBL260 but I wondered if anybody on here could suggest any alternatives?
I suppose it would be possible to just get a bunch of cheap Chinese controllers (one for each wheel) and hook them all up to two joysticks (one for left and one for right) but a more elegant solution would be preferred.
