RB-Cyt-169

Hello , i want to order some things for your store…one of them is the RB-Cyt-169 (Cytron SmartDriveDuo Smart Dual Channel 60A Motor Driver)

I want to use it on a ride-on toy for my kid…the ride-on toy have 4 dc 12v motors with gearbox (one for each wheel).
I have in plan to use a RC transmitter …

please tell me about it :

Does the RB-Cyt-169 have some kind of speed controller ?
Does it have some kind of voltage controller? I will be using 12v input and i want to control the output voltage (from 0v to 12v …)

If it does not have any kind of speed or voltage controller , what product do you recomend tu use with the RB-Cyt-169 for controling speed…

best regards

Hi,

]Yes, the RB-Cyt-169 can control the speed of two DC Motors independently proving up to 60A per motor continuously at 7-45V. The driver can be controlled through analog, microcontroller (PWM, Serial) or RC Mode. 3 modes are available in RC input control : Single/Mix Mode, Exponential Mode and MCU Mode. You can take a look at page 15 of the user manual for more information./:m]
]As indicated, the RB-Cyt-169 can control motors with voltage rating of 7-45V. Therefore, it is compatible with 12V motors. The output voltage of the driver to the motors will vary from 0V to your power supply voltage (12V in your case) based on the signal being sent from the RC receiver to the controller./:m]
]Do you have a datasheet of the motors you are planning to control ? What is the current rating for the motors ? Here is our R/C DC Controllers for your reference. If your motors consume less than 60A each, you can probably use :confused::m]Sabertooth Dual 5A R/C 6-18V Regenerative Motor Driver (R/C)
Sabertooth Dual 12A 6V-24V R/C Regenerative Motor Driver
Sabertooth Dual 2x32A 6V-24V Regenerative Motor Driver
It will all come down to how much current your motors consume continuously under load.
