ESC-1 Electronic Speed Controller

GEARS ESC-1


The GEARS ESC-1 electronic speed controller is a perfect match for the GEARS competition motor, or for any high performance application.
These light-weight, high performance ESC's are perfect for powering brushed DC motors with continuous outputs in the 100-200 Watt range.

Specifications:
Size (including heat shrink): 1.7" X 1.1" X .5"
Weight (including wires): 29g = approx. 1oz.
Operating Voltage: 6 to 24Vdc

Features Include:
• Compact size and light weight (29g)
• High Current Capability: 45 Amps peak, 12 Amps continuous
• Over current, short circuit and thermal protection on all outputs and BEC
• Receiver cable with universal plug
• 16 AWG high-strand Silicone Power and motor lead wires
• Safety start-up and lost signal shut-down
• Motor brake on direction change will help protect gears from over stress. This feature is not noticeable to the user.

XIPMod High-Current Dual Motor Module

High-Current Dual Motor Module


This dual 30-amp motor driver offers full linear speed control, R/C input, and current sensing capability for powerful DC motor robots. It adds high-current DC motor and solenoid control to projects built with the XIPMods system. The HCM Module can control up to two DC motors and up to two solenoids at a time. The unit's motor driver circuits are rated for up to 10 amps of continuous current and 30 amps peak current. The solenoid drivers are rated for 500 milliamps continuous current.

The HCM Module offers two modes of operation: radio control (R/C) and autonomous. In R/C mode, the HCM Module can be directly controlled using a standard hobby R/C transmitter and receiver. A Master Module is not needed for R/C operation. In autonomous mode, you program the Master Module to send commands to the HCM Module. In this way, the motors and solenoids can respond autonomously to inputs such as distance sensor values.
