Picture of productBidirectional DC Motor Speed Controller Electronic Kit



This kit allows controlling the speed of a DC motor in both the forward and reverse direction. The range of control is from fully OFF to fully ON in both directions. The direction and speed is controlled using a single potentiometer. Turningthe pot in one direction causes the motor to start spinning. Turning the pot in the other direction causes the motor to spin in the opposite direction. The center position on thepot is OFF. This design avoids the need for a direction reversing switch and avoids mechanical and electrical stress by forcing a smooth transition from one direction to the other. Manufacturer: KITSRUS. Manufacturer's Part Number: K166.

Picture of productFour Servo Driver Electronic Kit



Using a PIC 16C71, a crystal, 8 resistors & 4 capacitors this kit will independently control up to 4 servo motors. We do not supply the potentiometers or servo motors. (We used a Futaba FP-S148 for out tests.) 5V DC power supply required. Full instructions provided. Manufacturer: KITSRUS. Manufacturer's Part Number: K102.

Picture of productL293D Secret Motor Driver Electronic Kit
from Solarbotics




The 'Secret' L293D motor driver kit replaces the guts of a standard servo and turns it into a logic-signal controlled gear motor! The SGS Thompson L293D is configured to provide up to 1.2A and 36V - much higher than what a standard servo electronics are designed for!

This kit fits inside a standard servo body, like our SERVO or GM4 clear servo gear motor. The indicator LEDs on the kit also make for a cool lightshow in the clear servo case, or as part of a breadboard-mounted motor driver.

Don't want to drive a servo? We don't blame you! Use the 'Secret' Motor Driver to power any gear motor like our GM2 or GM3! Manufacturer: Solarbotics. Manufacturer's Part Number: KSMD.

Picture of productL298 Motor Driver Dual H-Bridge Electronic Kit
from Solarbotics




The L298 is a popular dual H-bridge IC that is usable from 6 to 50V, at up to 4A total output current. By itself, the IC is somewhat diffcult to use because of the staggered 0.05" lead spacing. This kit includes the L298, a custom PCB and all other parts required to build an easy to use dual H-bridge module.

Features:
  • Four motor direction indicator LEDs
  • An onboard 5V low-dropout regulator which can be used to power the rest of your logic circuitry
  • Schottky EMF-protection diodes
  • Screw-terminals for power and motor connections
  • Female header connectors for easy logic interfacing
  • A small 1.53" (40mm) square footprint
Manufacturer: Solarbotics. Manufacturer's Part Number: KCMD.

Picture of productUnipolar Stepper Motor Driver Board Electronic Kit



Control a unipolar stepper motor drawing up to 6A under switch selectable manual control or computer control. In manual mode the motor is controlled by a PCB mounted trimpot and a direction switch. In computer mode you control the motor via two I/O pins: step and direction. Manufacturer: KITSRUS. Manufacturer's Part Number: K179.

 WheelWatcher Kit



The WW-01 WheelWatcher incremental encoder system attaches to the outside of a standard RC servo, and utilizes an adhesive-backed reflective codewheel, designed for standard injection-molded robot wheels, to determine wheel rotation rate and distance travelled. It produces standard ChA/ChB raw quadrature outputs, as well as decoded clock and direction signals. The clock signal produces 25 us pulses at each transition of ChA or ChB, providing a 4x increase in resolution - 128 clocks per servo rotation. The direction signal indicates the decoded direction of rotation. Wheels and servos sold separately. Manufacturer: NUBOTICS. Manufacturer's Part Number: WW-01.
