The Polulu USB/RC/TTL/serial/analog Motor Controller 5.5-30 V, 15 A is a Simple high performance Motor Controller 18v5. The motor controller is a versatile motor controller for controlled DC motors. Please note that this kit is already fully assembled. Further adjustments are therefore not necessary.
A wide application range of up to 5.5 to 30 V and the ability to deliver several hundred watts in a small form factor allow the high performance motor controller to utilize multiple motor controller applications. A variety of supported interfaces and a range of configurable settings make it easy for the motor controller to add a basic controller for gebürste DC motors to a variety of projects. At the same time the motor controller has many more features than competing products, a free configuration program simplifies the original settings of the device and allows USB in-system testing and monitoring of the controller.

Other Features:
- Adjustable maximum acceleration and deceleration to limit electrical and mechanical load on the system
- Settable initial speed, maximum speed and amount of braking when speed is zero
- Optional safety control to avoid unexpected power supply
- Input calibration (learning) and adjustable scaling level for analog and RC signals
- Undervoltage cut-off with hysteresis for use with batteries which are susceptible to deep discharge (e.g. LiPo cells)
- Settable temperature threshold and resonance
- >Adjustable PWM frequency from 1 kHz to 22 kHz
- Error LED connected to a digital ERR output; if error output from multiple controllers is connected, all connected controllers will fail if one detects an error
- Functional expandable firmware
-
USB and serial features:
- Controllable from a computer with a native USB, serial commands are sent to the virtual serial (COM) port or via TTL serial through the RX/TX poles of the device
- Example code in C#, Visual Basic .NET and Visual C++ is available in the Pololu USB Software Development Kit
- Optional CRC error detection to eliminate communication errors caused by Lärm or software errors
- Optional Command-Time-Outs (switch off motors when communication stops)
- supports automatic baud rate detection from 1,200 bps to 500 kbps, or can be configured with fixed baud rate
- supports standard Compact and Polulu protocols as well as the Scott EdwardsMini SSC protocol and an ASCII protocol for easy serial control from a terminal program
- Optional serial delay for communication with half-duplex controllers such as the Basic Stamp
- Controllers can simply be chained together and also with other Polulu serial motor and servo controllers to control hundreds of motors using a single serial line
-
RC Features:
- Pulse measurement resolution: 0.25 µs
- PC pulse frequency: 10 to 333
