Description: The DCC1002 gives you complete control of one brushed DC motor with a current rating of up to 4 amps. It offers a compact enclosed form making it easy to fit into smaller projects. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub.

Features:

• Control motor velocity, acceleration, and braking strength - Forward and reverse
• Set a specific target position (requires an encoder)
• Encoder input - Read in the quadrature signal from an encoder attached to the shaft of your motor. This lets you make a closed-loop position controller.

Technical Details:

• Isolation - The VINT port on this device is isolated, improving reliability and eliminating ground loops
• Polarity Protection - The device will not turn on and will not be damaged if the power supply is connected backward
• Overcurrent Protection - On-board fuse to protect the controller in an over-current event
• Overheating Protection - A built-in heatsink prevents overheating
• Failsafe Protection - Set the device to turn off automatically if your program becomes unresponsive
