Product description: RoboClaw 2 x 15 A USB V6B - Dual Channel Motor Controller 34 V / 15 A - Pololu 3683
RoboClaw is an advanced dual-channel DC motor controller from Pololu . The device enables precise control of two DC motors with a continuous current of up to 15 A per channel (30 A peak) at a supply voltage of 6 V to 34 V. With support for multiple communication interfaces, including USB , TTL , RC and analog , this controller is suitable for a variety of robotic and industrial automation projects requiring high precision and reliability. RoboClaw operates with a logic voltage of 5 V and 3.3 V, and the built-in BEC converter in pulse mode provides a voltage of 5 V DC to 1 A, which can be used to power devices. RoboClaw V6B differs from the previous model in that the configuration buttons have been removed , and all settings must now be made exclusively via software.
The manufacturer provides:
RoboClaw 2 x 15 A USB V6B - dual channel motor controller 34 V / 15 A - Pololu 3683.
The device allows you to control two DC motors with a continuous current of up to 15 A per channel.
