The Motoron M2U256 Dual I2C Motor Controller offers a compact solution for controlling two DC motors using a UART serial interface. Multiple Motoron controllers can be connected to the same serial bus, making it easy to expand a system with additional motors. The M2U256 operates from 4.5 V to 48 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 1.8 A per motor. This version ships with header pins included but not soldered in.

Features and specifications

Two motor control channels allow for independent control of up to two bidirectional brushed DC motors per Motoron
Wide operating voltage range: 4.5 V to 48 V (absolute maximum)
- Recommended maximum nominal battery voltage is approximately 36 V
Maximum output current per motor: 1.8 A continuous, 6.4 A peak for <1 second
Reverse-voltage protection on motor power supply (down to -40 V)
Logic voltage range: 3.0 V to 5.5 V
Control interface:
- M2T256: I²C (up to 400 kHz)
- M2U256: non-inverted TTL serial (up to 250 kbps)
Optional cyclic redundancy checking (CRC)
Configurable motion parameters:
- Max acceleration/deceleration forward/reverse
- Starting speed forward/reverse
- Direction change delay forward/reverse
PWM frequency: eight options available from 1 kHz to 80 kHz
Command timeout feature stops motors if the Motoron stops receiving commands
Configurable automatic error response
Motor power supply (VIN) voltage measurement
Two status LEDs
Motor direction indicator LEDs
Error output for easier detection of error conditions
Motoron Arduino library simplifies getting started using the Motoron with an Arduino or compatible controller

Dimensions

Size: 0.6? x 0.8?
Weight: 2.5 g. With included headers

General specifications

Channels: 2
Model: Motoron M2U256
Control interface: non-inverted TTL serial (UART)
Minimum operating voltage: 4.5 V
Maximum operating voltage: 48 V. Absolute maximum; higher voltages can permanently destroy the motor drivers. Recommended maximum nominal battery voltage is approximately 36 V, which leaves a safety margin for ripple voltage on the supply line.
Continuous output current per channel: 1.8 A
Peak output current per channel: 6.4 A
Reverse voltage protection?: Y. Note: Reverse voltage protection only works up to 40 V.
Header pins soldered?: Y
