The OEM Roboclaw 2x10A Motor Controller is designed for seamless integration into various products. It is equipped with a standard 0.100-inch mount pattern, allowing it to be soldered directly onto a circuit board. Alternatively, it can be connected using standard female pin headers, which makes it easily replaceable for convenient field service.
This intelligent motor controller is designed to manage two brushed DC motors, providing 10 Amps of continuous power with a peak of up to 15 Amps per channel. It offers a variety of control options, including USB, RC radio, PWM, TTL serial, analog, and microcontrollers such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
The Roboclaw 2x10A automatically supports 3.3V or 5V logic levels, travel limit switches, home switches, emergency stop switches, power supplies, braking systems, and contactors. It also features a built-in voltage clamping control feature that allows the use of power supplies. Additionally, it includes a built-in switching mode BEC that provides 5VDC at up to 1 Amp for powering user devices.
The controller allows for open- or closed-loop control of brushed DC motors using position or velocity control modes. It includes several built-in commands for controlling acceleration, deceleration, distance, speed, current sense, voltage limits, and more. The RC and analog control modes also include several user-defined settings such as acceleration and decelerate speeds.
The Roboclaw 2x10A supports dual quadrature encoders with up to 19.6 million pulses per second and can be auto-tuned using the free Motion Studio application. It also supports a wide range of sensor inputs including potentiometers and absolute encoders. The closed-loop functionality of the Roboclaw 2x10A ensures absolute control over speed, velocity, and direction, regardless of load changes.
The controller incorporates several protection features, including temperature, current, over-voltage, and under-voltage limits. These self-monitoring protection features safeguard the Roboclaw 2x10A from damage under any operating conditions. User-definable settings such as maximum current limit, maximum and minimum battery voltages are provided for more refined control. The controller's regenerative capabilities allow it to charge a supply battery during slowdown or braking. Its advanced circuitry can change direction during full throttle without causing damage. Furthermore, it includes a LiPo cutoff mode to prevent battery damage.
Please note that the Roboclaw 2x10A Original Equipment Manufacturer Motor Controller is designed to be soldered directly onto a circuit board or connected using standard female pin headers. It is important to ensure that the controller is installed correctly to prevent damage and ensure optimal performance.
