Wireless Motors

Makers, developers and hobbyists that are building projects with integrated motors, might be interested in a new open source platform called OpenMYR. Which have been created by Kyle Berezin to provide wireless controlled motors that are suitable for a wide variety of different applications.

Watch the videos below to learn more about the wireless motor project which is taken to Kickstarter this week to raise the $85,000 it requires to go into production.

 

The creator of the wireless motors Kyle Berezin explains more about their inspiration, design and features as well as some of the applications that they can be used for.

If you’re a tinkerer or creator, motors are an essential part of your many projects. We are accustomed to controlling them with Arduino boards and creating a mess just to solve a simple problem. Everyone has an idea that needs a motor, but not everyone appreciates the effort required to get one up and running.

We are OpenMYR, and we are changing the way you control motors. We’ve created open-source WiFi motors that contain everything you need to motorize your projects built right in. No rat’s nest of wiring, all you need to do is supply power. You simply send the motor commands over WiFi, eliminating the need for programming a controller every time you have a great idea for a project.

The basis of our idea was simple, to create a motor that could be controlled wirelessly by users of all skill levels. No reflashing Arduino code until it works properly, no shields to operate motors and connect to networks, no breadboards. We wanted motors that you can drop into a project and immediately begin using.

When you plug your motor in for the first time, it immediately broadcasts its own WiFi network. You can connect to it and begin moving your motor, or you can tell it to connect to your own network and control it from there. We provide simple tools for configuration and control, such as smartphone apps and the motors’ built-in web page. For power users, we provide a simple protocol to send commands over a network so that you can create powerful systems to control your projects.
