The DAGU Mini-Driver control board is an Arduino based miniature control board with a number of add-ons making it ideal for embedded projects, Beginners and Educators
The controller includes an ATMEGA8 (5V @ 16Mhz) with Arduino boot loader, Dual Channel DC motor controller (up to 2.5Amps per channel) and can drive up to 8 Servos
Some additional features are also in place including Battery Level monitoring, a wide range of power input (5-9V) and a master On-Off switch for your project
This controller is used in DAGU's DoodleBot and is a simplified version of the Micro Magician, offering a lower cost, feature rich solution for small and embedded projects
We also have some new metal geared motors with a shaft extending out the back so our encoder kit can be fitted to the motors
The robot uses our Mini Driver as a low cost "smart" motor driver that monititors the encoder to control the motor speed
