Total Power = VxIxPWM or just VxI ?
Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2020 9:16 am
To know the total power my motors are using in my Dual 60 roboclaw, should I multiply three values:
Main Battery Voltage Level (interface data item #24)
x the Motor PWM values (#48)
x Motor Currents (#49),
or, just two:
Main Battery Voltage Level (#24)
x Motor Currents (#49)
In other words, are the Motor Currents already adjusted for the PWM duty cycle, or, do I need to adjust by multiplying by the duty cycle?
Thank you
Chris
