ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – MDDS10 1. INTRODUCTION SmartDriveDuo-10 is one of the latest smart series motor drivers designed to drive medium power brushed DC motor with current capacity up to 30A peak (few seconds) and 10A continuously. This driver is designed specially for controlling differential drive mobile robot using RC controller. Nevertheless, MDDS10 also can be controlled using analog joystick or microcontroller (PWM, Serial).

ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – MDDS10 FUNCTION Description: Motor RIGHT LED Indicator Indication for current flow and direction for motor RIGHT. If LED MRA turns on, means current flows from output MRA to MRB. Vice versa. Motor RIGHT Terminal Block Connect to motor RIGHT at your mobile robot. User can tie the wire to the terminal block or solder the wire directly to the pad at bottom layer. Power Supply Terminal Block Connect to power source.

Vice Versa. Motor RIGHT Run LED Turns on when motor RIGHT is running. If signal error received for motor RIGHT, it will blink. Error LED Number of Blinks Off Error Description No Error No error has been detected. 2 Input Error Invalid or no input detected. 3 Under Voltage The battery voltage is low.
ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – MDDS10 5. POWER SUPPLY SmartDriveDuo-10 supports input voltage ranges from 7V to 35V. The recommended power sources are: ● 6 – 18 cells NiMH or NiCd battery. ● 2 – 6 cells LiPo or Li-Ion battery. ● 7V – 35V sealed lead acid battery. ● 7V – 35V power supply (Must be in parallel with a battery with same voltage). The power source can be connected to SmartDriveDuo-10 either via the terminal block, or soldered directly to the pad at the bottom layer.
ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – MDDS10 6. MOTOR CONNECTION Similar to the power supply, connection to the motor can be made either via the terminal block, or it can be soldered directly to the bottom layer pad. For Mixed mode, especially for RC input mode (or Breakout board with Joystick soldered), each terminal block must be connected to the same side of the motor. For example, left terminal block connected to motor LEFT and right terminal block connected to motor RIGHT.
ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – MDDS10 7. SAFETY FEATURES SmartDriveDuo-10 incorporates some safety features which make it robust and reliable motor driver. Below are the detailed descriptions for each feature. a. Input Error (Error LED blinks 2 times) Every time SmartDriveDuo-10 is power up, the input data must be ‘stop’ (for RC, Analog, PWM input mode). This feature prevent the driver from sudden run, especially when the driver accidently reset. b.

After that, the input mode will be read from the DIP switch and retained as long as the driver is powered. If you wish to change the input mode, you will need to change the setting on the DIP switch and press the “RST” reset button, or power cycle the driver (Turn it off and turn it on again).

ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – MDDS10 8.1 RC INPUT MODE In RC input mode, the speed and direction of the motor is controlled by the signal from the standard hobby radio control transmitter and receiver, or a microcontroller generating the similar signal. NOTE: The RC transmitter must be ON before power up the SmartDriveDuo-10. RC Input mode is selected by setting the SW1 & SW2 to 0 (Down). SW3 – SW6 can be configured depending on the requirement of the user.

ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – MDDS10 8.2 ANALOG/PWM INPUT MODE In Analog/PWM input mode, the speed and direction of the motor is controlled by the analog voltage or PWM signal. The valid input range is 0 – 5V and it’s very easy to control by using a potentiometer. For example, the motor can be controlled by a joystick or foot pedal with potentiometer. NOTE: The Analog/PWM signal to stop the motor (2.

ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – MDDS10 8.3 SERIAL SIMPLIFIED MODE In Simplified Serial mode, SmartDriveDuo-10 is controlled by using the UART interface. DIG1 pin is the UART Rx. DIG2, AN1 and AN2 pins are not used in this mode. A single byte of data is all you need to control the speed and direction for each motor. First MSB bit is to select which motor to control, and the rest bits is to control.

ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – MDDS10 8.4 SERIAL PACKETIZED MODE In Packetized Serial mode, SmartDriveDuo-10 is controlled by using the UART interface. DIG1 pin is the UART Rx pin. DIG2, AN1 and AN2 pins are not used in this mode. To control the motor, data sent to the driver must be in 4 bytes packet format which includes a header, address, command and checksum. Up to 8 units of SmartDriveDuo-10 can be connected together to a single microcontroller UART Tx pin.
