- USB port is isolated from the motor control outputs
- Connects directly to a computer’s USB port.
Product Description
The PhidgetMotorControl HC allows you to control the angular velocity and acceleration of up to two high-current DC motors.
The 1064:
- Provides bi-directional control to 2 DC motors
- Requires external 6 to 15VDC Power Supply
- USB port is isolated from the motor control outputs
- Over voltage, over temperature, over current conditions are fed back to the API on the PC
Many variations of brushed DC motors exist: permanent magnet motors, electromagnet motors, coreless motors, linear motors... the PhidgetMotorController can be used with any of these, as well as other devices like small solenoids, incandescent light bulbs, and hydraulic or pneumatic devices like small pumps and valves.

Enclosure
We do not carry enclosures for the 1064_1, because motor controllers are prone to overheating when kept in enclosed spaces for extended periods of time with no airflow.
