Powered Up 3 Speed Auto Gearbox
TechnicBrickPower posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
The lego Powered Up motors and functions have been used to create a 3 speed automatic gearbox. With the Powered Up functions you can accurately control motor speed and motor position, as well as being able to measure the angular position of a motor. These new possibilities have been used to create a three speed automatic gearbox. One motor is used to measure the torque at the output of the gearbox by detecting the rotation of an output differential; another motor is used to accurately set the position of an orange rotary catch controlling the switching between three forward gears, and finally one large powered up motor is used to drive the gearbox. The gearbox implements 3 forward speeds at gearing ratios of 1 to 1, 1 to 0.6 and 1 to 0.2 as well as one manual reverse gear. The Powered Up app has been used to program the gearbox controller on an iphone. Thanks to (racingbrick.com) for providing a great guide to all of the available programming blocks. Hope you enjoy this video. https://youtu.be/CRkvFffDef8- 24 replies

[MOC] 3 Speed automatic transmission gearbox
TechnicBrickPower posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Here's my 3 speed automatic gearbox MOC. The gearbox automatically switches between one of 3 gear ratios, namely a ratio of 1, 1/3rd and 1/9th depending on the load on the output. It uses two 2 speed automatic transmissions in series to create the three speed automatic gearbox. It works on the principle of 2 degrees of freedom within a pair of differentials. This creates two gear paths for the transmission of force and the path of least resistance is taken. The loading points at which this lego gearbox switches gears is adjustable via two linear actuators at the bottom of the gearbox, which adjust the amount of artificially introduced friction to control the switch over points. Hope you like it.
