Scorpion Mini Product Information 

  

Note, the Scorpion Mini has been discontinued. We no longer have them in stock. They will be replaced with a more powerful unit known as the Scorpion Mini 2 which is currently in testing. This page will remain in place to informational purposes until the new units are released.

The Robot Power Scorpion Mini is a small low-cost high-performance single channel H-bridge speed controller for small robots, and other electrical loads. It is designed for ant and beetle weight combat robots, sumo robots, and other small robots such as firefighting robots, maze solvers and carpet rovers. The Scorpion Mini has also been used to drive pneumatic valves, solenoids, relays, thermoelectric coolers, and magnetic torque devices.

The Scorpion Mini is designed to pack the highest power handling capability in the smallest package.


Features

  • Size: .05” x 1.25” x .4” (without screw terminal)
  • Weight: 5.5 grams with servo lead installed
  • Standard R/C pulse format
  • 4.8V to 18V battery voltage (up to 36V with external 5V supply)
  • Fully reversible H-bridge design. Equal power handling in both directions
  • 2.5A continuous (6A peak) current
  • Full current limiting and over temp limiting. This thing is nearly blow proof!
  • Drive chip mounted on the bottom of the board for easy attachement of heat sink if desired. Not generally necessary but it will extend the time you can run at above 2.5A.
  • Indicator LED for speed and direction of motor
  • Receiver battery eliminator circuit (BEC) standard – may be disabled. This can provide up to 100 mA of current at 5V to the RC receiver and other attached electronic circuits. (Must be de-rated for input voltage above 12V)
  • Failsafe shuts off motor if R/C signal is lost
  • FLASH-based microcontroller with upgradeable software via in-circuit programming header
  • Optional 4 position screw terminal may be soldered to top or bottom of PCB for easy removal of battery and motor wires
