Motion Mind Rev 2
DC Motor Controller

The Motion MindDC Motor Controller is capable of controlling one brushed DC motor. A variety of control methods are supported including open loop and closed loop control.

Stand Alone H-Bridge Module

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. Control of the on-board H-bridge is accomplished with 4 i/o lines, each controlling a switch of the H-bridge (2 high-side, and 2 low-side). Using a microcontroller, and pulse width modulating the low-side switches allows for speed control. Individual control of the H-bridge switches also allows for dynamic braking.
