Description
Unit EncoderMotor Driver is a single-channel encoder DC motor driver unit featuring an STM32G031G8U6 main controller. It uses an I2C communication interface and provides one DC 5V motor output with a corresponding A/B encoder input, making it suitable for 6-wire encoder geared motors and TT geared motors. The driver supports PWM speed control, forward/reverse control, and closed-loop speed and position control. It integrates an INA199A current-sensing circuit and motor operating voltage detection, enabling real-time monitoring of motor current and voltage.
An onboard programmable RGB LED indicates the device operating status. The unit accepts an external DC 6 ~ 12V input and provides a DC 5V motor output through an onboard DC-DC buck converter. It is suitable for robot drive mechanisms, joint modules, smart cars, and similar applications.
