Hi

I have a cytron 10a motor driver and a arduino uno r3. I am planning to use these two devices to control the speed and direction of a 12v dc motor. My project entail a four legged mechanism that will move foward and backward (reverse). I would like to the how to connect these two devices, along with the other accessories needed to control spped and direction of the dc motor. My understanding is that I made need to buy a certain type of ubs cable and upload certain arduion code using a computer. I have no clude how to complete these task. Any help will be greatly apprreciated.
I have connected the battrey, the dc motor to the cytron 10 a motor driver.

Thanks
Desmond

Hi Desmond,

Which 10A Cytron Driver do you have ? Is it the 10A DC Motor Driver Arduino Shield or the Cytron Single 10- 45V, 40A Brushed DC Motor Controller ?

You can find wiring instructions in the User Manual.
Also, here an Arduino sample code to use the 10A DC Motor Driver Arduino Shield.
