Description
Highlights
- Precision joystick allows fine control at low velocity
- No programming or coding of any kind! Simply connect the amplifier, apply power, and move the joystick.
- Step/pulse, direction, and enable outputs
- Step/pulse, direction, and enable outputs
- Motor max velocity is set via trimmer potentiometer
- Motor acceleration is set via trimmer potentiometer
- Enable output is driven when the stick is centered and can be used for disabling the drive when the stick is not being moved (optional)
- High and low limit inputs
- Connection for external push button switch for turbo mode for high speed moves.
Specs
- Power Supply Voltage: 5V – 50V
- Opto Supply: 5V up to 100mA per motor
- Up to 20mA Enable(-) sink current
- Up to 20mA Step/pulse(-) sink current
- Up to 20 mA Direction(-) sink current
- 10uS pulse width
- 50KHz max pulse frequency
Applications
- Suitable for XY stages or pan-tilt mechanisms.
Notes
- Limit inputs expect to be low for normal motion. Use a normally closed switch. This ensure that any disconnect of the limit will “fail safe”
- The supply to the opto LED is limited to 15mA per LED by a series 200 ohm resistor on the board. The internal 200 ohm resistor can be shorted across for direct access to the 5V supply if desired, however, the total current must be less than 100mA total for all 4 sensors. 20K ohm pullup to 5V is included on the board on each limit input.
- Do not bundle motor wires with limit wires as the noise from the motor wires may cause false trips on the limits. Typically use shielded twisted pairs to reduce noise and connect shields to ground.
- Some motors have a resonant frequency where the motor makes a lot of noise and may stall. To mitigate this, reduce the motor current to match the load, install a damper or connect the load to absorb the energy from the motor.
- Pushing the switch on the board will toggle between 1x and 2x Turbo Speed mode. An external switch can be added by connecting to the connector on the middle of the board.
