The SMC04 high-power motor controller with feedback has multiple interface and feedback options that simplify servo control of commonly available DC motors.
The module features three independent interfaces: a serial protocol for microcontroller-based applications, a pulse-width interface for connection to hobby radio control equipment or serial servo controllers, and an analog voltage interface for simple tests and demonstrations. Two feedback alternatives allows for closed-loop control of position or speed.
The SMC04 motor controller distinguishes itself from other devices in its class by offering a complete feedback-based solution for applications requiring bi-directional, closed-loop control. The user can select either an analog voltage feedback or a digital encoder feedback (quadrature encoding is not supported). With the two feedback alternatives, various simple devices such as potentiometers can be used as sensors to achieve position or speed control.
The motor controller has an operating voltage of 6–16 volts, making the device well-suited for medium-sized robots and other projects powered by rechargeable 7.2 V or 9.6 V battery packs or 12 V lead-acid batteries. The motor controller serial protocol is compatible with other Pololu motion control devices, allowing multiple units to be connected to a single serial line to control a mixture of motors and hobby RC servos.
A simple serial transmitter utility for Windows that lets you transmit sequences of bytes at a selectable baud rate to a selectable COM port. This program can be conveniently used to send commands to our serially controllable devices.
