User manual

By working with the PMS5005, users can simply call a function offered by the WiRobot SDK

software on PC (requires Microsoft platform) or send a data packet (platform independent) to control

the DC motors or to obtain the sensor feedback. Please refer to Chapter III. WiRobot SDK API (Page

26) and Chapter IV.I PMS5005 (Page 67) for the available motor control algorithms and schemes.

III.2.3 Running as a General Purpose DC Motor Driver Module

When using the MDM5253 with third party controllers, the power supply and the input/output signals

should be connected properly (please refer to Section III.3 for connection setting). The controller

sends control commands to the enable pins and the PWM input pins based on your own control

schemes and get current and position feedback data via an analog to digital converter.
