Building Robot Drive Trains (Robot DNA Series) > Customer Review #1:
Great Book

This book was a great help during the use of our wireless hexapod senior project. The book is a great read on many different levels, especially control. The PID explantion in Motor Control 201 is better then a lot of control books ive read. There are a tremendous amount of circuits in the book and code and psuedocode. the book gives a lot of technical information as well as giving you different options (chips, connection, drive trains) you can use when building your robot. This is must if you are building a robot or want a book on interfacing your microcontroller and analog circuitry.

Everything you would need to know about motors

I took on a freelance job and needed to get more detailed information/advice regarding motors and motor control. This book was all I needed. Its very informative and well written. It teaches you about the types of motors, how to select the right motor for your application, and finally how to control them using different kinds of circuits and integrated circuits. If you want to know the mathematical details of torque, how to measure your motors torque, or how to decipher motor specs, it is all in this book. lt;br />This book will be a great reference even for someone who already has some knowledge of motors.

More than everything you need to know

Building a robot from the ground up means that the drive train is first. This book provides everything that you need to know but is also inspiring and fun to read. I built most of the circuits in the book and all worked the first time and exhibited the discussed operation. I also built my first Robot drive train and ran into many of the issues that the authors anticipated and for which they provided excellent solutions. I read the book from front to back and it inspired me to build a robot, then as I was building it, from the ground up, I continued to find helpful information using the book as a reference. If you are even thinking about building robots start by reading this book.
