It supports five control interfaces: USB, TTL serial, I²C, analog voltage (potentiometer), and hobby radio control (RC). This version offers a wide 6.5 V to 30 V operating range and can deliver continuous output currents up to 15 A without a heat sink. This version ships with soldered header pins and terminal blocks.

Notes:

1
Autodetects baud rates between 1200 and 500,000 bps, or can be set to any fixed baud rate in this range.
2
Absolute maximum; higher voltages can permanently destroy the motor driver. Recommended maximum is approximately 24 V, which leaves a safety margin for ripple voltage on the supply line. Not recommended for use with 24V batteries.
3
Typical results at room temperature running at 90% duty cycle.
4
All digital inputs are 5V tolerant.
