Newly updated DC Motor control Kit is Python, Arduino and Simulink compatible
This kit is designed to be used specifically as a compact portable DC motor lab kit. It has an improved DRV8833 motor driver and has headers for common motors such as micro motors that can easily connect with a 1.5mm JST ZH connector.
Download and read motor encoder data in Simulink with 1 click! Or program with Arduino or Python. Sample code available for all programming languages. Download links available soon - until then email us at info@minseg.com.
MinSegMotor Kit Contents:
- Arduino Nano RP2040 Compatible or Arduino Nano33 IoT Compatible board
- DC motor with 1336 quadrature encoded (334 encoder counts) and 2.3mm motor shaft
- DRV8833 Motor Driver
- JST ZH 1.5mm headers to directly connect 2 micromotors
- JST ZH 1.5mm to JST PH 2.0mm ribbon cable to connect the DC motor.
- Male Pinouts for 2motors with encoders
- FPC cable attachment for a optional Rotary Inverted Pendulum setup.
- Micro USB Cable
- Clear project box
- Pendulum attachment for simple pendulum labs
Educational Features:
- Easy to attach and change the wheel for different system models (time constant and steady state gain) - the plant can change every semester. Labs for:
- Step Response and Parameter ID
- Frequency Response
- PID position and speed control
- Pendulum attachment for simple pendulum modeling and control
- Optional Rotary Inverted Pendulum attachment
Options:
- Arduino Nano RP2040 Compatible. Uses RP2040 Raspberry Pi microchip and is the only choice for using Python for programming
- Arduino Nano33 IoT Compatible. Uses SAMD21 microchip and is the better choice for Simulink or Arduino programming. The code will compile significantly faster and provide better user experience. In Simulink the compile time is much faster.
