ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – URC10 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW 1.0 Introduction of UNO Robot Controller (URC10) 2x10A UNO Robot Controller is designed to drive two high current brushed DC motor up to 10A continuously by using build in CT-UNO as a controller. This board combines the simplicity of the UNO’s Optiboot bootloader (which load program faster), and the R3 shield compatibility of the latest Arduino UNO R3 with motor driver that can drive 10A continuously.
ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – URC10 1.1 System Overview Uno Robot Controller is one of motor driver with built in controller. One of the additional features for URC10 compare to other driver is the I/O extension pin and interface for easiest communication or connect directly to Arduino Shield. . 1.2 General Description Driving brush motor is common necessity in most robotic project. A brush motor is a electric motor that can drive a full rotation.

Sign-Magnitude PWM - For sign-magnitude PWM operation, 2 control signals are used to control the speed and direction of the motor. PWm is feed to the PWM pin to control the speed while DIR pin is used to control the direction. 2.
ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – URC10 5.2 Connecting to URC10 using Signal Input Pin(HC-SR04) Typical application would require a controller to generate pulses and wait for reflected ultrasonic burst. Following figure shows an example of HC-SR04 connected to URC10. The above example shows that the TRIG pin is connected to pin number D9 and Echo pin connected to pin number D8.
