Default LG hombot robot vacuum cleaner disassembly


Had the 'suction motor' on the lab supply.
12V 300mA (280 mA when vacuum sucked, not much sucking power really).
It has some temp sensor mounted on the side, so is protected.
Nothing wrong with the motor.
Stupid hobbyist amateur LG design sensor system,
bridged the sensor resistor in the driver with a 10 cm piece of
wire from flat cable, works 100% OK now, apart from its other quirks.
It came after me! wow.
2 minute soldering job, its running now.
And its silent, pulled the speaker plug!
Hit my plant again too, just in time stopped it from falling over by pressing stop on the remote.
Will it go up in flames if the motor shorts or something?
Well there is something to say for that, probably sets the lipo on fire or
burns the PCB, but my experience is that the resistance of the strand of flatcable
is so high that it will shut of its sensors anyways, and the thermal cutout on the motor as last resort.
And I Am Watching It.


**** it just pulled out the cable to the LED lights.
