Hello!
We are students from Costa Rica. Now, we are working on an aerospace engineering project.
We have seen the [size=2][highlight=#ffffff][font=helvetica neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]MakeBlock Me 8A 6-12V High-Power Encoder Motor Controller[/font][/highlight][/size]
(robotshop.com/en/makeblock- … oller.html) to control our motors.
But, we have some questions about it.
1.Is this driver compatible with other motors than those produced by other company?
2. Have you another controller to this motor:robotshop.com/en/12v-dc-motor-12kg-cm-350rpm-encoder.html ? Can recommend another to us? , is important the dimensions (smaller is better), weight and current max.
Thanks!
Hi,
It seems the motor you are interested in controlling RB-Dfr-679] mentions in its specifications that is has a no load current of 20 mA and a stall current of 5.5 A @ 12 V DC.
The motor controller you wish to use RB-Mab-181] can support currents of up-to 8 A @ 12 V DC, therefore this should be fine for your purpose.
Please note this motor controller is meant to be used with other RB-Mab products. Also, please note it is meant to control a motor with encoder. Using non-RB-Mab motors with this controller is most likely possible but not trivial.
Therefore, if you are not using those for your microcontroller board, then you will probably want to use a different motor controller.
You can find plenty of other options available here (DC motor controllers under 10 A). A popular option that is small and efficient for those kind of motors is the RB-Cyt-132. There is also a dual channel version [regualr: [url=https://www.robotshop.com/en/cytron-10a-5-30v-dual-channel-dc-motor-driver.html]RB-Cyt-153; shield: RB-Cyt-116].
We hope this helps.
Sincerely,
