Description

Five-pack Venom bundle. Includes five Venom motors, two CANstar 2-drop adaptors, one CANterm 5-pack, and two Limit Switch breakout boards for one low price.

Venom is a brushed DC motor based on the original 2.5" CIM, which has been used by FIRST Robotics Competition teams for the past 18 years. The traditional CIM is a "dumb" motor, requiring a suite of external controllers and sensors. Venom integrates all of these functions into a single, compact package.

So how "smart" is Venom? Speed, current, temperature, and position are all measured onboard, enabling advanced control modes without complicated sensing and wiring schemes. This includes proportional duty cycle and voltage control, closed-loop current (torque), speed, and servo (position) control, follow-the-leader, and motion profiling controls. There are also external inputs for limit switches and an analog signal. All of these features are accessed via the CAN (Controller Area Network) interface, which is designed for FRC communication. WPILib compatible libraries for LabVIEW, C++, and Java are provided.

Venom was designed for convenience and simplicity. The motor controller and speed encoder were designed around the CIM (its rear bearing actually). There are no concerns about mechanical compatibility between third party sensors. There are no calculations required to convert encoder counts into speed. All motor parameters are presented in native engineering units (speed in RPM, voltage in Volts, position in rotations, current in Amps, etc.).

For teams which prefer to avoid CAN communication, Venom may be controlled through a PWM signal.

Venom was designed for competition. Onboard thermal management protects the CIM and integrated controller from excessive duty cycles at high load. A rear-facing LED provides diagnostic trouble codes to help quickly diagnose issues. The integrated design allows the entire motor, controller, and sensor package to be replaced as a single compact assembly.

In addition to the “smart” upgrades, we’ve also made the CIM stronger. Front and rear bushings have been upgraded to ball bearings to reduce friction, increase efficiency and extend battery life. The wiring was also upgraded from 14 ga external wiring for 12 ga high-strand. These power lines are more flexible than the stock motor and serve to further increase electrical efficiency. A die-cast aluminum endplate protects the internal electronics and serves as an integrated heatsink.
