The BRAINS 4.0

THE BRAINS is an compact and lightweight dual DC-motor ESC: originally designed for antweight combat robots, but is suitable for any appliction requiring a lightweight motor driver.

Designed and built in Christchurch, New Zealand by Connor Benton, visit cb-technology for details.

Features:

• 2x Bi-Directional DC motor outputs.
• 2x Signal output channels for additional electroncis (BLDC ESC, servo, etc).
• Status LED's to indicate run mode, faults and calibration.
• Under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and reverse polarity protections.
• Internal BEC to provide power to the radio reciever.
• Failsafe checks for loss of connection with radio.
• Auto-Detection of different radio protocols on the same input.
• Instant brown-out recovery.
• Calibrate function to customise drive mode, channel mapping, and channel inversion.
• Includes a 100nF capacitor across each motor to filter noise and voltage spikes.
