Hi
I am going to build my own wending-machine and I have been looking at different DC motors all night long but Im not getting anywhere.
My build need just one motor but it must be fairly strong. How strong exaxtly I dont know I will just have to guess.
I will controll the machine with a rasberry Pi.
In thinking of using this motor:
Would this be a good option? I dont need a motor with an encoder as my vending machine does not have to be very precise.
What would be a good driver for this motor?
I need the Machine to be turned on 24/7, so It would be good if the driver has a stand by mode where it draws close to zero power when the motor is not activated.
