If you need a DC brushed motor driver that can accepts signal from:
- RC (Radio Control)
- PWM of microcontroller
- Analog voltage of Potentiometer/Variable Resistor
- UART/Serial command of microcontroller
Well, this motor driver is perfect for you, and it supports upto 10Amps (continuous) each channel. It will be easy to build combat/sumo robot. Not to forget, you can configure MDDS10 to drive two channels motor in independent or mix mode. Do check the User's Manual for details.
SmartDriveDuo10 has the specification of
MDD10A which is able to drive two brushed motors bidiretionally at 10Amps each, plus additional smart features of MDS40A. The operation mode is configured by the DIP switch on MDDS10. The DIP switch configurations for commonly used modes are printed at the back of PCB.
MDDS10 uses solid-state component - MOSFETs as H-bridge switching which offers faster switching time. And the MOSFETs are being switched at 16KHz for quiet operation. And with MOSFETs, no flyback diode is needed :) With the on-board temperature sensor, this smart driver is able to reduce the output current stage by stage to prevent it from overheat and burnt!
To make it RC(Radio Control) receiver friendly, we have added 2x3 header pin, with just 2
RC extension cable, the wiring is done, and it takes 2 minutes! And by default, MDDS10 is configured in RC controller, Mixed control mode, even easier!
With MDDS10, you can now series up two
SLA battery to power your motor as it supports up to 35VDC input. And you only require one power input to operate the motor and driver. Don't worry, 3-cell and 6-cell Li-po battery are within the operating voltage :) Hey! It also comes with battery low voltage warning, what else do you need?
Which motor is good to be driven by MDDS10? As long as the motor:
- Is DC Brush motor (Two Terminals)
- Operating voltage from 7V to 35V
- Rated Current <= 10A
- Peak Current <= 30A
