This is SmartDriveDuo-30, with ease of accepting RC (Radio Control) signal to drive two DC brushed motors in independent or mix mode, it is perfect for combat robot. It supports up to 80Amps of peak current (1 second) and 30Amps continuous current at each channel, best for medium power motor.

This motor driver is smart enough to accept a control signal from:

RC (Radio Control)
PWM of microcontroller
Analog voltage of Potentiometer/Variable Resistor/Joystick
UART data of microcontroller

This motor driver is suited for a brushed dc motor with the following specifications:

Operating voltage from 7V to 35VDC
Rated Current <= 30A
Peak Current <= 80A

Features:

Bi-directional control for dual brushed DC motor
Support motor voltage from 7V to 35VDC
Maximum current up to 80A peak (1 second), 30A continuous, each channel
On board MOSFETs are switched at 18 KHz for quiet operation
Regenerative Braking
On board Error LEDs to indicate: (each channel)
- Input Error (Blinks 2 times)
- Under Voltage Warning (Blinks 3 times)
- Over Voltage Protection (Blinks 4 times)
- Over Temperature Protection (Blinks 5 times)
Thermal protection.
Current limit protection
Multiple input modes:
- RC (Radio Control)
- Analog voltage from potentiometer/variable resistor/joystick
- PWM and DIR (sign-magnitude and locked-antiphase) from microcontroller
- Serial Simplified or Serial Packetized from microcontroller
GROVE compatible connectors for control input
RC (Radio Control) friendly connectors
On board push buttons for fast test and manual operation
On board LED indicators for Error, RUN, Over current, motor output, for each channel
NO REVERSE POLARITY PROTECTION
Dimension: 81.28mm(W) x 101.60mm (L) x 42mm (H)

MDDS30

Posted by Sean Nelson on Aug 27th 2022

The MDDS30 was great. It looks clean and well made. It works exactly as advertised and made my build much easier. I had to return it because I needed bigger motors which will pull more current than the MDDS30 will support. I wish that was not the case. It was great to use.

Smartduo dual motor controller

Posted by Paul on Aug 10th 2022

Very happy with this product. Truly a plug-and-play device. I’m not savvy in the way of electronics and am stuck relying on reviews and directions and schematics. I literally hooked up both motors and the battery, plugged the R/C receiver in, and was up and running.

This product works perfectly as described. it is decisive and strong. I did the job for the project for which i bought it, and i will buy another for my next project! Note : the cables were not included as in the picture.

Smart drive Lower wheels

Posted by Ricardo Duran on Jul 15th 2022

I installed this in a Wild thing power wheels that was practically given to me but it had a blown circuit board. Installed this motor driver and it’s so much fun, it can actually carry me, I can remote control the power wheels with an RC controller and I also added a joy stick. To switch nether en them I do have to plug two wires and flip a dip switch. But mainly use. Lots of fun, now I’m wondering where else can I use it.
