[[Category:UserGuide]]

==Getting Started==
{{UGIntro|DCC1002}}
* [{{SERVER}}/products.php?product_id=DCC1002 DCC1002 - 4A DC Motor Phidget]
* {{VINTHub}}
* {{CT|PhidgetCable|Phidget cable}}
* USB cable and computer
* Power supply (8-30V DC)
* DC motor

Next, you will need to connect the pieces:
[[Image:DCC1002_Functional.jpeg|500px|right|link=]]
# Connect the DCC1002 to the VINT Hub using the Phidget cable.
# Connect the motor to the Phidget's output terminals.
# Connect the VINT Hub to your computer with a USB cable.
# (Optional) If your motor has an encoder, connect it to the encoder port on the DCC1002.
# Connect the power supply to the DCC1002's power terminals.

Now that you have everything together, let's start using the DCC1002!

==Using the DCC1002==

{{UGcontrolpanel|DCC1002}}

The objects associated with the DCC1002 are as follows:
* '''DC Motor Controller''': Controls the velocity and current of the motor.
* '''Encoder Input''': Reads encoder input so you can implement closed-loop control of the motor.
* '''Position Controller''': A built-in position controller.

==Technical Details==

===Control Loop Parameters===
In order to get the desired behavior from your controller, you will have to tune your control parameters. This video explains the tuning procedure and gives information on how the controller works.
