Tech Thursday 020: Motor Controller Selection and SIzing

[Jason TraudKeymaster]

A common question we get asked is “What motor controller should I use?”. There are two main criteria you need to look at: communication protocols and current capacity. The first isn’t a big issue with modern motor controllers since most have such a wide range of inputs spanning analog control, R/C, to serial. However, it’s worth noting that it doesn’t matter how much current the motor controller can pump out if you can’t send it commands. The current requirements for your motor controller are going to be highly dependent on both what motor your using and how hard you’re planning on pushing the motors.
