Motor Speed Controllers |
|
Motor speed controllers get connected to your battery and your motors. Your radio control receiver also plugs into the motor controller. The controller is then able to control the speed and direction of the motors.
The set-ups for the controller is simple plug-and-play. You can fine tune some of the parameters, but in most cases you won't need to. Our controllers operate two channels independently of each other so you only need one controller to drive and steer both the left and the right wheels.
Solo 60 Motor Controller
The Solo 60 automatically supports 3.3V or 5V logic levels, travel limit switches, home switches, emergency stop switches, power supplies, braking systems, and contactors. A built-in switching-mode BEC supplies 5VDC at up to 1.2 Amps for powering user devices.
Brushed DC motors can be controlled in open- or closed-loop using position or velocity control modes. It features several built-in commands for controlling acceleration, deceleration, distance, speed, current sense, voltage limits, and more. RC and analog control modes also include several user-defined settings such as acceleration and deceleration rates.
Quadrature encoders with up to 19.6 million pulses per second are supported and can be auto-tuned using Motion Studio, a free downloadable application. In addition, a wide range of sensor inputs, including potentiometers and absolute encoders, is supported. The closed-loop functionality enables total control over speed, velocity, and direction, regardless of load changes.
This motor controller incorporates several protection features, including over- and under-voltage, temperature, and current limits. Several user-definable settings such as maximum and minimum battery voltages, and current limits, are provided for more refined control.
The Solo 60's regenerative braking will charge the battery when braking. Its advanced circuitry can change direction during full throttle without damage, and it has a LiPo cutoff mode to prevent battery damage.

RoboClaw 2X200A Motor Controller
The RoboClaw can be controlled from USB, RC radio, PWM, TTL serial, analog input, and microcontrollers such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. It automatically supports 3.3V and 5V logic levels, and provides interfaces for limit switches, home switches, emergency stops, braking systems, and contactors. Built-in voltage clamping allows safe operation with power supplies, and an integrated switching-mode BEC provides 5VDC at up to 1A for user electronics.
Brushed DC motors can be controlled in open-loop or closed-loop using position and velocity control modes, with built-in commands for acceleration and deceleration, speed and distance control, current sensing, and voltage limiting. RC and analog control modes offer user-configurable acceleration and deceleration.
Dual quadrature encoder inputs support up to 19.6 million pulses per second, with encoder auto-tuning using Motion Studio, a free configuration and tuning application. Additional sensors, including potentiometers and absolute encoders, are also supported. Closed-loop control maintains precise speed, position, and direction under varying loads.
The RoboClaw provides continuous protection against over-temperature, over-current, over-voltage, and under-voltage, with user-configurable limits for maximum current and battery voltage thresholds. Regenerative braking returns energy to the power source during deceleration, advanced circuitry allows direction changes at full throttle without damage, and a LiPo cutoff mode prevents battery over-discharge.

Speed Adjuster
This speed adjuster plugs into the radio control inputs of the motor controllers. It is a quick and easy way to send the control signals to the motor controllers without the need for an RC transmitter or receiver. Turn the knob to control the motors from full forward to full reverse or anywhere in between.
One unit can control both channels of the speed controller by sending the same signal to both channels. Two units are required to have independent control of speed and direction of both channels.
