This dual channel DC motor driver, measuring just 1.97”×1.97”×0.49”, packs impressive power into a compact design. It allows the simultaneous operation of two motors, with each channel equipped with an indicator to display motor rotation direction: blue signifies forward rotation, while red indicates reverse. It supports motor voltage from 6.5V to 37V, making it versatile for a variety of projects.
Each motor channel is capable of delivering a continuous 12A current, with support for a maximum motor power of up to 290W. For short bursts, the module can handle peak currents reaching 70A for up to 100 milliseconds, ensuring robust performance even in demanding applications. The module's optimized timing allows for a minimum pulse width of PWM input as narrow as 2 microseconds, ensuring precise motor control.
With integrated protection features, this module guards against over-voltage, under-voltage, and overheating. The onboard STATE indicator provides a clear status: continuous ON means normal operation, fast flashing indicates over-voltage, slow flashing signals under-voltage, and double flashing warns of overheating. These protections help prevent device damage during abnormal conditions by shutting down the output when necessary.
When paired with an Arduino controller, this motor driver simplifies motor control, making it ideal for applications such as automatic robots, mechatronic systems, equipment manufacturing, scientific projects, and electronics competitions. Its compact size and robust features ensure it is a reliable choice for a diverse range of uses.
