Cytron HAT-MDD10 DC Motor Driver HAT for Raspberry Pi Dual Channels 10Amp 6V-24V
The Cytron HAT-MDD10 is a high-performance motor driver board designed as a Hardware Attached on Top (HAT) for Raspberry Pi single-board computers. It serves as a robust interface, enabling the Pi to control the speed and direction of two high-power brushed DC motors directly. This integration simplifies the process of building advanced robotic and motion control projects by providing a dedicated, powerful driving solution that seamlessly connects to the Raspberry Pi’s GPIO header.
Engineered for reliability and efficiency, the driver utilizes a fully solid-state NMOS H-Bridge architecture. This modern design eliminates the mechanical components found in traditional relays, resulting in a faster response time and a longer operational lifespan by avoiding wear and tear. The board is built to deliver smooth and precise motor control, handling high current loads with built-in protection mechanisms.
The HAT-MDD10 is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring manual test buttons for quick verification of motor operation without needing to write any code. Its form factor is specifically tailored to fit neatly on top of a Raspberry Pi, creating a compact and streamlined system. This makes it an ideal core component for developers and hobbyists looking to create powerful, motor-driven applications with their Raspberry Pi.
Features:
- Bi-directional control for two brushed DC motor.
- Support motor voltage ranges from 6V to 24V.
- Maximum current up to 10A continuous (without heatsink at 25°C) and 30A peak (10
second). - Current limiting at 30A.
- 3.3V and 5V logic level input.
- Raspberry Pi compatible connector.
- Manual/test button to fast verification.
- Solid state components provide faster response time and eliminate the wear and tear
of mechanical relay. - Fully NMOS H-Bridge for better efficiency and no heat sink is required.
- Speed control PWM frequency up to 20KHz (Actual output frequency is same as
input frequency). - Support both locked-antiphase and sign-magnitude PWM operation.
- Support TTL PWM from microcontroller, not PWM from RC receiver.
- Dimension:67.5mm x 59mm.
