Hi I made a silly mistake for the wiring by forgetting that the power rails do not run continuous down the entire breadboard! That explains why the motor controller cannot be powered when placed after the voltage clamping circuit! But seeing that there is very little voltage increase even without th...

Hi I have set up the voltage clamping circuit but still have some queries: Capture.JPG 1) Does order of clamping circuit vs RoboClaw matter? - Current set-up is such that power --> RoboClaw --> clamping circuit - RoboClaw did not receive any power when the order is power --> clamping circuit --> Rob...

Hi I am using 2 DC motors with quadrature encoders (Motor 1 and 2) with a RoboClaw 2x30A. Unfortunately Motor 2has a suspected faulty encoder such that the encoder counts do not increase with the motor shaft rotation. To circumvent the issue, I would like to explore using a standard potentiometer as...

Hi I know there are quite a number of posts related to hardware wiring of the RoboClaw 2 x30A already but I don't think there is one with a full wiring diagram that connects the RoboClaw with DC motors, encoders, Arduino and with a voltage clamping circuit. I am very new to electronic hardware and r...
