Pololu Jrk 12v12 USB Motor Controller with Feedback

Key Features:

• Versatile, general-purpose motor controller
• Designed to control many medium-sized DC brushed motors
• Two closed-loop feedback options: Analog voltage and tachometer (frequency)
• Supports four control interfaces: USB, TTL serial, analog voltage (potentiometer), and hobby radio control (RC)

The powerful Jrk 12v12 motor controller is a highly configurable brushed DC motor controller that supports four interface modes: USB, logic-level serial, analog voltage, and hobby radio control (RC). The controller can be used as an open-loop speed control or for closed-loop speed or position control. The continuous output current is approximately 12 A (30 A max) and the operating range of 6 V to 16 V (with transient protection up to 40 V).
