Notes:

  • Don't touch the motor! It can get damn hot.
  • There's a finger trap point at the top. Take care. It hurts when it bites!

Mounting & hardware

It's all mounted in a wooden frame. Use wood screws.

Logical

Two PWM signals needed. One for forwards, one for reverse. When using one, the other should be set to zero. Don't keep the motor running once it's reached the end. This will waste power and cause the motor to overheat.

Connections

  • +12V
  • Ground
  • 2 x PWM signals

Power

+12V, about 5A peak

Bling

None whatsoever!
