Hello Everyone.
Does anyone have the EZ robot controler operating 12v or 24v DC Motors ?
And if so can you give me some ideals for what type of motor controlers I can use that will interface with the device?
I will keep looking in the forums but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Woody
For motors of any voltage, you will need an H-Bridge. You need to determine the amperage of the motors, and then we can assist with recommendations.
Sabertooth has a wide variety of high amp H-bridges with a wide range of input voltage. Parrelax (sp) also has a good 25 amp H-bridge that a few people use.

Google "robo claw". I will be purchasing one of these units this week. The 2x30 version(2). I have 24 vdc wheelchair motors but will be running them at 12vdc. I was very impressed with all of its specs.
Hi Woody, If you are after simple On off control you could use a 5 volt relay, on Ebay they are http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-5V-8-Channel-Relay-Module-Board-Arduino-PIC-AVR-MCU-DSP-ARM-Electronic-/170745298865?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Components_Supplies_ET&hash=item27c1367fb1
They are about 5pounds or $11 for us Australian folk.
They are completly opto Isolated, and can drive a 10 amp load

Thanks for all the input :)
I am using them to drive wheelchair Motors. So the amperage will be fairly high.
I still need to get a picture of the label sent to me to see the exact amperage.
Looks like I need to do some more research but you guys have given me some great starting points.
Thanks again.
Also does anyone have any suggestions on Blue Tooth Remotes ?
Take care,
Woody
Most people I have spoken to with wheelchair motors use the Sabertooth 2x25. I will also be using wheelchair motors on my large robot, and that is the H-Bridge I chose.
