Planning to build my first robot and need some help

Hi!
My name is Andreas and i´m from Sweden.

My plan is to build a 6wheel snowplow robot.
And i have this:
2 dunkermotoren GR 63x55 24v
4 12v 9ah battery
1 RC receiver Futaba 603FF
My question is which model of motordriver should i use?
And also if i want to use an actuator for the plowblade…how do i connect that? do i need 3channel motordriver then?
I hope some of you can help me (totaly beginner…)

Best regards
Andreas

Hello @andblo76 !

Welcome to the forum, great to have new user from Sweden around here.

First, I think you can use an arduino as a base to control the motors and receive signals from the receiver!

I leave you two options for the motor controller, both are arduino compatible:

I also leave you a tutorial that explains the connections with your receiver.

Yes, if you want to add another actuator you will need another controller to move the blade. However, if you use a stepper motor, you could connect it directly to the arduino and save that component.
