0-PL1393 Jrk 12v12 USB Motor Controller with Feedback <p><font color="00ff66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The JRK 12v12 is a versatile, general-purpose motor controller that supports a variety of interfaces, including USB. The 6V to 16V operating range and high continuous output current of 12A (30A peak) allow this board to control many medium-sized DC brushed motors. Analog voltage and tachometer (frequency) feedback options allow quick implementation of closed-loop servo systems, and a free configuration utility (for Windows XP or Vista) allows easy calibration and configuration through the USB port.</font></p>
<p><font color="cccccc" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Key improvements over competing products include:</font><font color="00ff66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
USBconnectivity with emulated serial (COM) port allows direct motor control from a PC.<br>
Ultrasonic PWM to eliminate switching-induced motor shaft hum or whine.<br>
Robust, high-speed communication protocol with user-configurable error condition response.<br>
High internal resolution (12 bits) for smooth and flexible calibration to various input and feedback devices.<br>
Current sensing and limiting.<br>
Reversed power protection.<br>
Field-upgradeable firmware.</font></p>

The JRK ships with a 14x1 straight 0.100" male header strip and two 5mm, 2-pin terminal blocks. To provide maximum flexibility, none of these parts are soldered to the board.</font></p>
<p><font color="00ff66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">For the most compact installation, you can solder wires directly to the JRK pads themselves and skip using the included hardware. The included hardware allows you to make less permanent connections. You can break the 14x1 header strip into an 8x1 piece and two 3x1 pieces and solder these strips into the JRK’s I/O pads.</font></p>
<p><font color="ff0000" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Note:</font><font color="00ff66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> A USB cable is not included.</font></p>
