The CCMHC 10A DC Motor Speed Controller is an electronic device designed to control the speed of a DC motor using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) technique. It is capable of handling currents up to 10A, making it suitable for a wide range of applications including robotics, DIY projects, and industrial automation systems.
Pin Number | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
1 | V+ (Power Supply) | Connect to positive of battery |
2 | Motor Output (+) | Connect to positive of motor |
3 | Motor Output (-) | Connect to negative of motor |
4 | GND (Ground) | Connect to negative of battery |
To control the CCMHC 10A DC Motor Speed Controller with an Arduino UNO, you can use the following code snippet. This example assumes you are using a digital pin with PWM capability to control the speed of the motor.
// Define the PWM pin connected to the speed controller
const int pwmPin = 3; // Use a PWM pin
void setup() {
// Set the PWM pin as an output
pinMode(pwmPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// Set the motor speed to half of its maximum speed
analogWrite(pwmPin, 128); // 128 out of 255 is approximately 50%
delay(2000); // Run at this speed for 2 seconds
// Stop the motor
analogWrite(pwmPin, 0); // 0 stops the motor
delay(1000); // Stop for 1 second
// Set the motor speed to full speed
analogWrite(pwmPin, 255); // 255 sets the motor to its maximum speed
delay(2000); // Run at this speed for 2 seconds
// Repeat the cycle
}
Note: The PWM frequency of the Arduino UNO is different from the PWM frequency of the CCMHC controller. This may result in a different motor behavior than when using the potentiometer directly on the controller.
Remember to adjust the pwmPin
variable to match the pin you are using on your Arduino UNO. The analogWrite
function is used to send a PWM signal to the motor controller, which in turn controls the speed of the motor.
