Cytron MAKER-DRIVE - yksinkertainen DC-moottorin ohjainkortti H-siltakytkennällä.
Description
Maker Drive is designed to solve the above problems while adding some useful features:
Fool-Proof (Peace of Mind) - Maker Drive comes with Reverse Polarity Protection at Vin/Vmotor/Vbatt (Power for the motor) terminal. With this protection it will greatly reduce the risk of damaging the motor driver
Compact Design - Maker Drive is designed to be compact, roughly the size of a passport photo, 43mm(W) x 35mm(L) x 14mm(H)
4 Test Buttons (2 for each channel) - Easily test the motor or your mechanism without any controller or coding. Maker Drive comes with two manual test buttons for each channel. Pressing one of the buttons will drive the output full speed in a direction (if there is motor connected) on the respective channel. While another button will drive the output in another direction. These buttons are useful to test the motor direction, connection, and operation; even without a controller. You will love these buttons, believe me! You can also use these buttons as manual activation button too. No programming is needed to use these buttons.
4 Indicator LEDs (2 for each channel) - Easily test your coding and wire connections. With these indicator LEDs, you can check the output voltage direction even without connecting to your motor. And combining with the Manual Test Buttons, you can test the Maker Drive easily even without controller and motor connected. You can also easily identify where the error occur for easy troubleshooting. Of course, no programming is needed too. These LEDs help in testing and troubleshooting.
Buck-boost regulator to produce 5V output from an input voltage as low as 2.5V- Power your 5V controller with 2 AA batteries. Maker Drive can produce an output of 5V with input voltage range, from 2.5V up to 9.5V. This 5V output can supply 200mA to external circuits such as controller (Arduino), saving the trouble to get another power source for your controller. Now your project can be powered with a single power source. And with the wide input voltage range, you can power Maker Drive with two AA or AAA battery (1.5V x 2 = 3V) or single-cell Li-ion or Lipo battery that has a rated voltage of 3.7V. That is awesome!
Regenerative Braking Control - In some cases, it is called Regen braking and it provides better control over motor speed. Most application perform better in Regen braking for example line following as the controller can control the speed more accurately. Another method is coast stop which allow the motor to slow down or stop using the inertia.
Specially Designed for Mobile Robots - Building a small mobile robot has never been easier with Maker Drive + Maker UNO duo! If you are interested in building a line following robot, you may follow this Cytron tutorial.
Support Stepper Motor - This is an additional bonus feature! Maker Drive is capable of driving a stepper motor.
Maker Drive is not an Arduino Shield, but it is compatible with different models of Arduino main board
