Use with Cytron 13A Driver

Open movik1985 opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Hello, First things first, thank you for the brilliant work and making it available for all. Now, I am thinking of using a larger, more powerful DC motor that may draw a lot more current than L298N can handle. I want to try the Cytron 13A driver. Unlike the L298 it doesn't have a IN1 and IN2 but has a PWM and DIR input. I am wondering if the following modification to the original work.

void pwmOut(int out) { if(out<0) { digitalWrite(M1,0); analogWrite(M2,abs(out)); } else { digitalWrite(M1,1); analogWrite(M2,abs(out)); } }

where M1 connects to DIR and M2 to PWM. I believe it should work but I can't get my head around some other parts of the code to be really sure.

Thanks for your advice.

Best Regards Vikram

That sounds about right Vikram. Let me know how it goes.
