Current hardware version

Post by pauljurczak »

What is the current hardware version of Roboclaw Solo30? I just bought V2. Is there any substantial difference compared to the newest version? The manual reads: "Hardware V3, V4, V5 and V6", which makes me think that I bought a very old version.

Thhe latest Solo version hardware is v2. Other Roboclaws are on different version numbers and are not related in any way. A v2 Solo has the same driver circuits as a V6 Roboclaw(the larg Robocoaw 2x60A or a V5E Roboclaw 2x30A. But each hardware design has its own unique version number(relative to that specific design, etc Solo, 2x7, 2x30, 2x60 etc).
