I recently purchased the Cytron 25A 7-58V Single Brushed DC Motor Driver and noticed the caution card that came with it that says “Using DC Power Supply only may damage the driver *Use Battery Instead”. My intentions were to use a 24VDC power supply so I would like to know if this will be an issue.
Hello @blairepauli and welcome to the RobotShop forum,
You can use a DC power supply, however, the manufacturer recommends the following:
If switching power supply is being used, connect a motor shunt regulator or rechargeable battery with same voltage in parallel with the power supply. This is to absorb the regenerative energy from the motor during deceleration.
