Sabertooth dual 12A, one of the best motor control boards around.
The Sabertooth dual 12A is one of the most versatile, efficient and easy-to-use dual-motor drivers on the market.
This controller is suited to medium-sized powered robots — up to 100kg for general-purpose robotics.
The Sabertooth can drive two brushed DC motors at up to 12 Amps each. Peak currents of 25A are supported for a few seconds.
Features of the Sabertooth dual 12A
Tra le ottime caratteristiche vi sono la protezione da sovracorrente and the protezione termica, in pratica non dovrete mai preoccuparvi del fatto che la scheda possa bruciare con stalli accidentali o per aver collegato un motore troppo grande.
Types of communication between microcontroller and board
Sabertooth consente di controllare due motori con i seguenti tipi di comunicazione: segnale analogico, radiocomando, seriale e di seriale pacchettizzato.
You can build many different robots of growing complexity for years to come with a single Sabertooth. The Sabertooth has several operating modes:
- Independent,
- velocità + direzione,
which makes it the ideal control board for robots with differential drive (tank-style steering) and much more.
The operating mode is set with the onboard DIP switches, so there are no jumpers to move.
The Sabertooth's screw terminals make it possible to assemble your robot's motor control system without a single solder joint.
The Sabertooth is the first regenerative, synchronous motor driver in its class. Regenerative topology means the batteries are recharged whenever the robot is commanded to slow down or reverse.
The Sabertooth also allows for very fast stops and reversals — giving your robot the ability to be fast and agile.
The Sabertooth features a 1A, 5V switching BEC that can power a microcontroller or R/C receiver and a couple of servos.
Lithium battery mode allows the Sabertooth to safely use lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries — the highest energy-density batteries available.
