Kozuch Posted September 15, 2016 at 07:18 PM Share Posted September 15, 2016 at 07:18 PM I need to drive 4 small traction motors of this 4WD robot platform. It seems like the Servo Brick has a customizable PWM output - can the output be used to directly drive these motors or do I need the DC brick for it (=multiple DC Bricks)?

borg Posted September 19, 2016 at 07:57 AM Share Posted September 19, 2016 at 07:57 AM The PWM of the Servo Brick can only supply a few mA, you can't use it to drive a DC Motor. With a servo motor you supply 5V to the Servo and then use the PWM to control it. The PWM signals don't need any power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
