    Selecting Transistors for PWM Control of Motors: Tips and Considerations

    We're using one signal for forward, and another for reverse. Both have PWM on them to throttle each side of the H-Bridge independently.

    Selecting Transistors for PWM Control of Motors: Tips and Considerations

    They are designed to work off of two separate signals per motor. And speed is intended to be controlled proportionally. So yes, each PWM signal only controls speed.

    Selecting Transistors for PWM Control of Motors: Tips and Considerations

    I love the idea of a motor driver, but I need it to handle 6 amps. Any suggestions?

    Selecting Transistors for PWM Control of Motors: Tips and Considerations

    Thanks for your quick reply! I'm actually in need of bidirectional control. Our team purchased some NPNs that we thought would work, but when we integrated them into a circuit, they blew up. Could that perhaps be a problem with amperage and voltage?

    Selecting Transistors for PWM Control of Motors: Tips and Considerations

    Hey all, I'm a junior in high school building an ROV for the MATE ROV competition with a amateur robotics team this year. For this year's competition, we've decided to control our bot via an Arduino Mega, and we're using PWM to potentiate the thrusters. As the person designated to electrical...
