Motion Control

The Active Cooling System provides a simple method to increase the continuous current handling capability of our motor controllers. Stand-offs, connectors, mounting hardware, and a 12VDC 62CFM fan are included in this kit.

information

The Easy Roller Robot Wheel Kit was designed to simplify mechanical mounting requirements for small robotic projects. When used in conjunction with the Motor Mind C a complete skid-steering drive control system may be rapidly implemented.

information

The ICON H-Bridge provides easy connectivity and logic level control of brushed DC motors to 40V and 12A. An on board microcontroller can be accessed via standard serial communication, and provides temperature and current monitoring, as well as user defined temperature and current fuse settings.

information

The Micro Position Controller is a complete PID position control module. When used with a brushed DC motor and aquadrature encoder, it forms a highly versatile, low-cost, position control module, for low current servo motor control.

information

The Mini Position Controller is a complete PID position control module. When used with a brushed DC motor and aquadrature encoder, it forms a highly versatile, low-cost, position control module, for low current servo motor control.

information

The Motion Mind can control one brushed DC motor using either open loop or closed loop control methods. Open loop control methods can operate with serial data input, button presses, analogue control signals (0-5V), and pulse control from a hobby R/C type control signal. Closed loop control requires either a quadrature encoder or an analogue feedback signal (0-5V) and provides accurate position and/or velocity control.

information

Bi-directional or uni-directional DC motors with operating voltages as great as 30VDC can be used with the Motor Mind B. This module can handle peak currents as large as 3.5A and continuous currents of 2.0A. Serial commands can be sent via a 1 or 2 wire interface.

information

The Motor Mind B Enhanced provides serial control of small brushed DC motors. Motor speed and direction can be controlled with 255 discrete step in both directions. Motors up to 2.0A continuous current (6A peak) and from 6-36VDC can be controlled.

information

The Motor Mind C provides control of one or two small brushed DC motors. Motor speed and direction can be controlled up to 2.25A continuous current per motor. This module is ideal for controlling small robotic systems.

information

This encoder kit can turn the Easy Roller Robot Wheel Kit into a "dead-reckoning" robot drive system. Implementing complex position control algorithms is simplified with this encoder. TheMini Position Controller orMicro Position Controller are ideal candidates for robot chassis control with the Easy Roller Robot Wheel Kit and Quadrature Encoder Kit.

information

The Simple Bridge is capable of bi-directional control of one brushed DC motor or other two-terminal DC load (such as a lamp or thermoelectric module). The small footprint, low cost, and ease of use allow the Simple Bridge to fit many design needs.
