SmartElex 10D Smart Motor Driver - Dual 10A High-Current Driver for Combat and Racing Robots

The SmartElex 10D Smart Motor Driver is built for robots that mean business. Capable of 10A continuous and 30A peak per channel, it handles everything from a college line-follower to a full combat robot fThe Engineer Storee - with multi-mode input (RC, Analog, PWM, Serial) so you can drive it from a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or radio receiver without rewiring.

Specifications

• Channels: 2 (dual motor)
• Continuous current: 10A per channel
• Peak current: 30A (for 2 seconds)
• Motor voltage: 7V-22V
• Logic voltage: 3.3V / 5V (Arduino & Raspberry Pi)
• Input modes: RC, Analog, PWM, Serial Packetized
• Switching frequency: 16 kHz (silent operation)
• Protection: Overcurrent + thermal shutdown
• Onboard: 5V 3A buck converter

Why SmartElex beats generic L298N shields

L298N modules are limited to 2A continuous with no protection. The SmartElex 10D uses MOSFET H-bridges at 5x the current, 16 kHz switching (no motor whine), and has both thermal and overcurrent shutdown built in - features absent on any generic board at this price.

Real-world projects

1. Combat Robot Chassis

Drive two 12V high-torque motors at 10A each using RC control from a FlySky transmitter for arena combat.

2. Autonomous Line Follower

Connect via PWM to Raspberry Pi 4 running OpenCV line detection. Pair with our SmartElex RLS-08 Line Sensor.

3. Tracked Rover

Dual motor differential drive with Arduino Mega for college robotics competitions.

How it compares

The Cytron MDD10A costs ~Rs.2,200+. The SmartElex 10D delivers identical specs at Rs.1,371.70 - made in India, full 7-day warranty on manufacturing defects, 1-5 day shipping from Bengaluru with COD + UPI.

FAQ

Q: Can I control this from a Raspberry Pi GPIO?
A: Yes. Use PWM mode with 3.3V logic - the board is fully 3.3V compatible.

Q: What is the maximum motor voltage?
A: 7V to 22V. Suitable for 12V and 18V lithium battery packs.

Q: Does it support stepper motors?
A: No, the 10D is designed for brushed DC motors only.

Q: Is thermal protection automatic?
A: Yes. The onboard microcontroller automatically throttles and shuts down if temperatures exceed safe limits.

Q: Can I run it from a LiPo battery?
A: Yes, any 2S-5S LiPo (7.4V-18.5V) works within the motor voltage range.
