Getting Started

Welcome to the DCC1001 user guide! In order to get started, make sure you have the following hardware on hand:

DCC1001 - 2A DC Motor Phidget

VINT Hub

Phidget cable

USB cable and computer

Power supply (8-30V DC)

DC motor

Next, you will need to connect the pieces:

1. Connect the DCC1001 to the VINT Hub using the Phidget cable.

2. Connect the motor to the Phidget's output terminals.

3. Connect the VINT Hub to your computer with a USB cable.

4. (Optional) If your motor has an encoder, connect it to the encoder port on the DCC1001.

5. Connect the power supply to the DCC1001's power terminals.

Now that you have everything together, let's start using the DCC1001!

Using the DCC1001

Phidget Control Panel

In order to demonstrate the functionality of the DCC1001, the Phidget Control Panel running on a Windows machine will be used.

The Phidget Control Panel is available for use on both macOS and Windows machines. If you would like to follow along, first take a look at the

You can also experiment with the following functionality: Drag the Target Velocity slider from -1 (full reverse) to 1 (full forward) to make the motor move. Manipulate the Acceleration slider to increase/decrease the amount of time it takes the DC Motor to reach a target velocity.

You can also experiment with the following functionality: Position Change: the number of ticks (or quadrature cycles) that have occurred since the last change event. Time Change: the amount of time in milliseconds that has elapsed since the last change event. Position: the total position in ticks relative to where the encoder was when the window was opened.

You can Zero Position to add a position offset which will return the motor's position to 0. Graph: You can view the control data on the graph. The green line is the selected target position, and the blue line is the motor's actual position as reported by the Hall Effect sensors.
