Cytron 13A DC Motor Driver MD10C

I was having a lot of trouble driving a larger motor with a L298 type H-Bridge. I switched to this board and everything started working perfectly. Also was more efficient. I am very happy with the performance of this board driving a large gear motor.

Great for makers and hobbyists. Specs good enough to handle most anything I'm going to deal with. Interface simple but very effective.

Very compact, nicely laid out Motor Control board. Very easy to use. I ran a DC motor off a motorcycle battery with absolutely no issues. Stays cool. Has 2 convenient buttons on the PCB for manually testing motor either Fwd/Rev direction without code. I'm going to have to check out other control boards from Cytron. Speed control requires you write some value to any designated Arduino PWM pin....EX: ~ D3, ~ D5, ~ D6, etc. const int pwm_pin = 3; // pin D3 = variable for speed output to motor pwm_value = 0; // enter any value 0-255....zero will turn OFF pulse train analogWrite( pwm_pin, pwm_value); // send that value to pwm_pin and motor stops

This is exactly what you will need to control large DC motors for robotic projects. Three pins control the outputs (Dir, PWM, and ground). Then all that is needed is the appropriate power supply for the motors you are using and the motors. DroneBot workshop has a very good Arduino built to get you started with these. These are, an excellent value for the money.
