Hi,

You mention the current sense/diagnosis pin (IS) - can you give more details on how it works?

Specifically - how is this safe to be connected directly to the Arduino's A0/A1 analog input pins, when the voltage can be equal to Vs on error (Vs=6-40V)?

You mention using an ADC, I wonder if an external ADC is possible/needed here - in which case people really don't want to add the header to connect IS to the Arduino [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-6145ca7a-5591-4b0e-96ff-4fb69642cbff/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Hopefully, I'm missing something obvious here!

Cheers,

Anthony

Attention Frederick Vandenbosch

Hi Frederick,

I am considering using The DC motor shield BTN8982TA to control a 12 V Brush motor with a build in feedback position pot.

(This is to servo a rudder to an outboard motor) Position given by a Wire pot on the rudder and a pot in the 12 V Brush motor servo driving the slave.(Outboard)

Never used Arduino, so I have some question as you have used it.( If you have time?)

1 Do I need any other Arduino components to use the board ? I need to do it quick, so the less is best!

2 How do I input the codes? Is there a USB connector to connect my laptop? I guess I need the Arduino software?

3 you are talking about small motor but mine need 5A but according to the specs goes to 30A. I wonder where to put the heatsinks?

Anyway , will buy a beginner book on Arduino which might also help!

Many Thanks

Frederic

Nice wheels [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-6145ca7a-5591-4b0e-96ff-4fb69642cbff/contentimage_5F00_3.png:16:16]

In order to use these shields for robotics, two of them are needed for two motors.

Hi Shabaz, I always enjoy learning from your posts. This board will likely have a lot of applications. I am away from my shop right now but I have book marked your post so I can review it when I get back.

You just wanted an excuse to play with your Lego ...

Well done I'm sold on them.
