Brushed motor is the most widely used motor because of the ease of operation. Just supply the two terminals DC power supply, the motor will start rotating! Yet, you need a good motor driver to control the speed and direction from microcontroller. You are at the right page, MD13S is one of the easiest to use brushed motor driver.
MD13S has great improvement in current protection which MD10C does not have. With new circuit and design, MD13S is able to limit and support current up to 30A max(10 seconds). And the continuous current is at 13A without heatsink (at room temperature of 25°C).
Not to forget it is GROVE compatible, so get yourself a Grove shield. Oh, did I mention? MD13S is smaller than MD10C :)
Which brush motor is good to be driven by MD13S? As long as the motor:
Is DC Brush motor (Two Terminals)
Operating voltage from 6V to 30V
Rated Current ≤ 13A
Peak Current ≤ 30A
Example of suitable DC brush motor with MD13S (Not limit to):
If you use a micro:bit and want to control a bigger motor, you can use external motor driver with higher specification. In this tutorial, I'm using MD13S together with REKA:BIT.....
