DHB-10 Dual H-Bridge 10 Amp Motor Controller
DHB-10 Dual H-Bridge 10 Amp Motor Controller
The DHB-10 is an open-source, 10 amp dual H-bridge motor controller, for the Arlo Robot platform or our Motor Mount and Wheel Kit. It features an onboard multicore Propeller microcontroller to provide precise closed-loop or open-loop control for two individual motor channels.
The DHB-10 comes preloaded with open-source firmware designed specifically for use with the Arlo robot platform or Motor Mount & Wheel Kit, and BASIC Stamp Board of Education, BOE Shield with Arduino Uno, or Propeller Activity Board. Firmware updates may be loaded using a Prop Plug. (The current firmware is not designed for supporting other motor control applications.)
