Logic Power
When powering external devices from RoboClaw ensure the maximum BEC output rating is not
exceeded. This can cause RoboClaw to suffer logic brown out which will cause erratic behavior.
Some low quality encoders can cause excessive noise being put on the +5VDC rail of the
RoboClaw. This excessive noise will cause unpredictable behavior.
Encoders
RoboClaw features dual channel quadrature/absolute decoding. When wiring encoders make sure
the direction of spin is correct to the motor direction. Incorrect encoder connections can cause a
run away state. Refer to the encoder section of this user manual for proper setup.
