• Dual 15A motor robot controller
• Voltage range: 6.5V - 12V
• Communication via USB, TTL serial and I2C
• ATmega 168 processor with 16K flash memory
This is the Dagu "Wild Thumper" Dual 15A Motor Robot Controller. After creating the Wild Thumper robot chassis manufacturer wanted to make a suitable motor controller for it as stall current can be as high as 33A if all 6 motors stall together. Wild Thumper chassis was also ideal platforms for the robot arms so manufacturer wanted more than just a dual "H" bridge.
Features:
• Dual 15A continuous FET "H" bridge with individual fuse protection
• Current sensing and blown fuse detection for each motor
• Electronic braking for those high-speed robots
• 7 digital I/O pins terminated in 3 pin male headers with power allowing servos to plug directly onto the board
• 5 analog inputs terminated with 3 pin male headers with +5V and Gnd for sensors
• 5A LDO regulator to supply power for logic, sensors and servos
• 2A current regulator for charging NiCd, NiMh and SLA batteries
• Battery voltage monitored by processor
• Charger controlled via processor
• Allows robot to charge own batteries
• Accepts RC and analog inputs
• Programmable via USB/ISP
• Comes preloaded with Arduino bootloader and sample software
The controller can be used at voltages as high as 20V if the 5V regulator is not heavily loaded. CPU fan should be mounted on the heatsink with voltages of 12V or more.
