Phidget VINT 2A DC Motor Controller

• DC Motor Controller
• Controlled By VINT
• PWM Frequency: 25 kHz
• Continuous Motor Current Max: 2 A
• Supply Voltage Min: 8-30 V DC

The Phidget VINT 2A DC Motor Controller gives you complete control of one medium sized DC motor from one of the ports on your VINT hub. You can control motor velocity, acceleration and braking strength using commands from your software. The compact and enclosed form factor of the DCC1001 makes it easy for this Phidget to fit in smaller projects while still controlling motors with current ratings of up to 2 amps.

This controller comes equipped with an encoder input that can read in the quadrature signal from an encoder attached to the shaft of your motor. Using the Motor Position Controller object in the API, you can use the encoder to implement a PID control loop. The VINT port on this device is isolated from the rest of the board, greatly improving reliability and eliminating ground loops. Your VINT Hub and computer will also be safe in the event of a current spike coming back from the motor.
