Roboclaw Solo 30A Motor Controller

Description

• Designed to control one brushed DC motor
• Controlled by USB, RC radio, PWM, TTL serial, or by microcontrollers such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi
• Peak Current per Channel: 45A
• Continuous Current per Channel: 30A
• Supports 3.3V or 5V logic levels, travel limit switches, home switches, etc.

The Roboclaw Solo 30A Motor Controller is an intelligent motor controller designed to control one brushed DC motors at 30 Amps continuous with up to 60 Amps peak. It can be controlled from USB, RC radio, PWM, TTL serial, analog and microcontrollers such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

RoboClaw automatically supports 3.3V or 5V logic levels, travel limit switches, home switches, emergency stop switches, power supplies, braking systems and contactors. Power supplies can be used by enabling the built-in voltage clamping control feature.

Features

• A built-in switching mode BEC supplies 5VDC at up to 1.2 Amps for powering user devices
• Brushed DC motors can be controlled in open or closed loop using position or velocity control modes
• RoboClaw features several built-in commands for controlling acceleration, deceleration, distance, speed, current sense, voltage limits, etc.
• RC and analog control modes also include several user defined settings such as acceleration and decelerate speeds
