| Description | add to cart |
| The Motion Mind DC Motor Controller is a motion
control product capable of controlling one brushed DC motor. A variety
of control methods
are
supported including
open loop and closed loop control. Open loop control methods do not
require feedback from an encoder and can operate with serial data input,
button presses, analog control
signals (0-5V), and pulse control from a hobby R/C type control signal
(1-2ms pulses, approximately every 20ms). Closed loop control requires either
a quadrature encoder or an
analog feedback signal (0-5V). A binary communication protocol is implemented for higher data throughput applications. The binary communication protocol may be replaced with a simpler ASCII command set through a switch on the PCB. The ASCII protocol ensures ease of programming with simple terminal programs. the Motion Mind can communicate at RS232 levels through an on-board translator IC, or through a TTL serial interface with an open-collector output that allows multiple modules to share the same data bus. The board measures 2.4” wide x 3.6” long x 0.6” tall. The Module is powered directly off of the motor voltage and may provide 200mA of regulated 5VDC voltage to other off board devices. Note: The Motion Mind 3 (MOTM_3) is a direct replacement for the earlier revision of the product. It has some additional features and is a lead free product. |
