RoboClaw 2x45A Motor Controller (V5E, pin header I/O)
Note: This RoboClaw 2x45A (V5E) has been replaced by the newer 2x45A (V6B), which can be used as a drop-in replacement in most applications.
The RoboClaw motor controllers from Basicmicro (formerly Ion Motion Control) can control a pair of brushed DC motors using USB serial, TTL serial, RC, or analog inputs. Integrated dual quadrature decoders make it easy to create a closed-loop speed control system. This version can supply a continuous 45 A per channel (60 A peak), operates up to 34 V, and has pin header I/O connections.
Alternatives available with variations in these parameter(s): motor channels continuous output current per channel Select variant…
