Motor controllers

Techno

I am a bit of a novice when it comes to this, but I am looking for a good motor controller that can work with the BS2.· I need something that can can control two motors, if possible on the same setup.· I was looking at h bridges, but does anyone sell them premaid, since all I seen are schemtics to build your own or a IC chip alone.· The motors in question are requiring aobut 9.6 volts dc.·

Hello Techno,

You might consider the HB-25. It contains both H-bridge and controller, and it can control two synchronized motors at once, or two units·can be daisy-chained for independent motor control. You can download the product doc for it, and some BS2 sample code, from its product page:
