One more Addition to the SmartElex Smart motor Driver series is that 15D is a dual-channel motor driver that is capable of supplying 15 amps continuously with peak currents up to 30 amps (10Sec) per channel.

SmartElex 15D Smart Motor Driver for PWM & RC Dual Motor (Powered By Raspberry Pi) can be operated on radio control, so no more interfacings and an additional connection are required analog, TTL serial, and PWM. A variety of operating modes including mixed and independent modes in radio operate the driver remotely.

It comes with analog and PWM modes for operation. Switching between radio controls and PWM mode or switching between any of the 4 modes can be done with an onboard 4-position DPDT mode switch. MOSFETs are switched at 16 KHz to ensure quiet operation and no annoying whining sound. Besides, it is also equipped with a microcontroller unit to provide smart features such as multiple input modes current limit, and thermal protection.

Additionally, The Driver is equipped with a temperature control feature where If the temperature of the board reaches 80 degrees then motor speed becomes half and speed will be normal once the temperature reaches below 70 degrees. The motor driver will be shut down at 100 degrees.

Features:

1. Supplying 15 amps continuous with peak currents up to 30 amps (10 Sec) per channel
2. Support motor voltage from 7V to 22V.
3. Onboard Low, Internal resistance MOSFETs are switched at 16 KHz frequency.
4. Overcurrent protection and indication.
5. Thermal protection.
6. Multiple input modes: RC, Analog, PWM, Serial Packetized.
7. On-board push buttons for test and manual operation.
