MD03 Motor Controller Support
The MD03 is a medium power motor driver, designed to supply power beyond that of any of the low power single chip H-Bridges that exist. Main features are ease of use and flexibility. The motor's power is controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of the H-Bridge at a frequency of 7.8KHz.
The 15v MOSFET drive voltage is generated onboard with a charge pump, so the module requires only two supply voltages:
- A standard 5V supply for the control logic, only 50mA maximum is required.
- Motor voltage, anything from 5vdc to 50vdc to suit your motors
Control of the module can be any of:
- I2C bus, up to 8 MD03 modules, switch selectable addresses.
- 0v-2.5-5v analog input. 0v full reverse, 2.5v center stop, 5v full forward.
- 0v-5v analog input with separate direction control
- RC mode. Controlled directly from the RC receiver output.
- PWM. A simple onboard filter means you can use a 0%-100% 20khz or greater instead of analog.
Motor Connections
Note: There is no fuse on the PCB. You should provide a 10A fuse in line with the +v battery terminal. Don't Ignore this, High currents can be dangerous!
