Rugged Circuits Motor Driver

Operation from 8v 30v and 2a peak per phase.

Rugged circuits motor driver. Inspired by our 10 ways to destroy an arduino these videos provide an in depth look at just how easy it is to damage a standard arduino and how we have thoughtfully created a superior solution. The rugged motor driver shield is a motor driver for two brush dc motors or one bipolar stepper motor. Proudly located in michigan usa. This is one of the lowest cost medium power motor drivers available.

Rugged circuits the rugged motor driver is a dual h bridge 30v motor driver using the texas instruments 2 8a drv8801 devices. The rugged motor driver uses two drv8801 h bridge ic s one for each motor output rather than a single l298 for both outputs. Rated for 30v and 2 8a peak current operation the rugged motor driver is the solution for powerful motion. The new upgraded rugged motor driver is more durable and will operate more reliably than the already rugged original.

The most commonly used motor driver ic s are from the l293 series such as l293d l293ne etc. The videos show the little things that go into the the thought process and design of our products to make big differences in performance and reliability. This means that the power dissipation is spread out over two devices and over a wider area of the pcb rather than all being dissipated in one place. The answer is yes but requires a little bit of care.

Motor h bridge output control maker. A motor driver is an integrated circuit chip which is usually used to control motors in autonomous robots. Our rugged motor driver is rated for 2 8a peak per phase current two phases and realistically can sustain about half of that in steady operation here s why a common question is whether the two output phases can be put in parallel to get twice the current when driving a dc motor. We also offer the more powerful and more rugged rugged motor driver see this application note if you need guidance on choosing the right motor driver for your project.

These ics are designed to control 2 dc motors simultaneously. Rugged circuits motor driver shield photo. This is the most powerful and rugged motor driver in its price class. In the arduino dc motor control using l298n project we will control both the functionalities of a simple dc motor i e.

Motor driver shield tags. Operation from 8v 30v and 2 8a peak per phase. Motor driver act as an interface between arduino and the motors.
