David McCullough Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I am trying to control a DC motor that can pull as much as 25 amps at max torque. I need it to start sow bulid to speed and slow down and stop. Reverse on command and return. I am using one of the DC sLOR to control lights and a small motor on the unit now. I tried using relays to turn the motor on and off, reverse directions. The torque for full on and full off is affecting the gears on the drive. I have to go through the relays because the board can not handle the amps drawn. Roboteq.com offers a mdc2250 controller that is programmable and they say works through servo commands. Will it be possible to tell this controller to run for 10 seconds one direction and then the same for reverse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanWPowers Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 This is exactly what I was wondering as well. If I connect a wiper motor to a ServoDog's PWM outputs (yes, i know that I'll need to keep its draw below 2amps) is there a way to run it clockwise and counterclockwise?Help!
