Re: Cheap motor controller
I thought the Jaguars helped make the PWM signal a little more linear to 'simulate' voltage change better than just a strait PWM. I knew they would work, but I thought a controller might be better. I guess I was wrong. I know how to build H-bridges and I know about feedback diodes. I just thought a cheap controller might be better than building one. I am not very good at PCB soldering. I guess the only way to learn is by doing.
