RB-Pol-154

Pololu 24v12, 5.5-40V, 12A Motor Controller

Features:

• Simple bidirectional control of one DC brush motor.

• 5.5 V to 30 V (18v7, 18v15, and 18v25) or 40 V (24v12 and 24v23) operating supply range.

• 7 A to 25 A maximum continuous current output without a heat sink, depending on controller model

• Four communication or control options:

• USB interface for direct connection to a PC.

• Logic-level (TTL) serial interface for direct connection to microcontrollers or other embedded

controllers.

• Hobby radio control (RC) pulse width interface for direct connection to an RC receiver or RC servo

controller.

• 0–3.3 V analog voltage interface for direct connection to potentiometers and analog joysticks.

• Simple configuration and calibration over USB with free configuration program (Windows 7, Vista,

Windows XP, and Linux compatible).

The Pololu Simple Motor Controllers are versatile, general-purpose motor controllers for

brushed, DC motors. A wide operating range of up to 5.5–40V and the ability to deliver up to several hundred Watts in a small form factor make these controllers suitable for many motor control applications.

motor controllers in tandem on an RC-controlled differential-drive robot (you might find our RC servo Y splitter cables • useful for connecting two SMCs to a single RC receiver). • RC channels can be used in any mode as limit or kill switches (e.g. use an RC receiver to trigger a kill switch on your autonomous robot). • Battery elimination circuit (BEC) jumper can power the RC receiver with 5 V or 3.3 V. Analog features: • 0.8 mV (12-bit) measurement resolution. • Works with 0 to 3.3 V inputs.
