Hi

New to this form, and need a little help, I looking to control 3 sets of two motors each, with 4 feed back switches, Love to monitor load on motors and switch based on load, and all of this using a laptop/PC based controller.· The application needs to be flexible, and attractive for the end user. The motors need to be around 130RPM, 12VDC, and aprox.70in Lbs.· With a 90% box.· Help, Help, Help, Help1

Are you looking to implement something, or are you looking for off the shelf solutions?

If your looking for an IC to drive the motors with voltage and current measurement, have a butchers at National Semi's LMD18245

www.national.com

I believe NASA JPL use these or similar for their robotics drivers.

You could (and I plan to) build a nice PCB with 4 of these (or more) and use an SX to control via RS232/RS485/i2c etc etc etc.

Javlin,

I'm not sure if this meets your requirements, just have a look at a board I once developed: www.parallax.com/sx/projects/projects_pwm.asp
