Product description: RoboClaw 2 x 30 A USB V5E - two channel motor controller 34 V / 30 A - Pololu 3286
Two-channel controller DC motors. It uses microUSB port, UART TTL interface, analog signal or RC radio interface for communication. It is powered with voltage from 6 V to 34 V, maximum continuous current is 30 A and instantaneous current is 60 A. RoboClaw works with 5 V and 3.3 V logic (voltage is selected automatically), it can also be controlled using limit switches, push buttons, emergency stop switches, etc. The built-in BEC mode supports 5 V and 3 A. The V5E version has a plastic cover for the bottom of the board and a connector to connect a 5 V fan.
RoboClaw V5E two channel motor controller.
RoboClaw 2 x 30 A V5E controller.Main features of RoboClaw controller
- Supply voltage: from 6 V to 34 V
- Continuous current per channel: up to 30 A
- Channel instantaneous current: up to 60 A
- Communication:
- USB - emulated COM port - microUSB cable to be purchased separately.
- UART serial interface - TTL
- Signal from RC radio receiver
- Analogue voltage from 0 V to 2 V (tolerates 5 V)
- Feedback, e.g. to a PID loop:
- Possibility to connect quadrature encoders with a resolution of up to 19.6 million pulses per second
- Position control via analog encoders (potentiometers)
- Possibility of operation without feedback, so called open loop control
- Mounted screw terminal for easy connection
- Configurable via built-in pushbuttons or USB
- Possibility to switch on the BEC regulator using a jumper
- Battery charge monitor, voltage cut-off at too low voltage
- Board dimensions: 74 x 52 x 23 mm
- Weight: 60 g
