 ====== Motor Controllers ====== ====== Motor Controllers ======

 +===== DRV8801 =====
 +
 +The motor controller used in the LTP was a Pololu DRV8801 Single Brushed DC
 +Motor Driver Carrier ([[https://www.pololu.com/product/2136|link]]).
 +
 +It is an 8V to 36V motor controller and can deliver 1A continous. It only needs
 +two lines of IO and is controlled by a PWM output.
 +
 +A 32 KHz PWM signal seems to work just fine.  elow 300Hz looks really jittery. 
 +
 +===== MDC1230 =====
 +
 +{{::motor_controller.png?direct&800|}}
 +
 +The motor controller used for the RoboDolf was an RoboteQ MDC1230 1X80A Single
 +Channel Brushed DC Motor Controller. It was controlled via serial and had an
 +onboard firmware that had its own scripting language. I used in an metal IP68
 +housing and had no troubles with cooling.
 +
 +===== EPOS2 =====
 +
 +During my Stevens work I made extensive use of Maxon Motor and the EPOS2
 +brushless controllers. They are absolutely awesome! Auto-tuning, all kinds of
 +homing methods, CAN, USB control, inputs/outputs out the butt, different
 +operating modes, you name it.
