Motor Control
Overview
SKU: ISXSTK-MOTR-1
Connect four DC motors, or two stepper motors (4V – 12V DC, 1 amp max). Requires external DC power for the motors (10.8V max). For higher currents use external motor drivers. Software controlled parameters include: control speed, holding current, number of steps to move, and direction.
