    RoboClaw Motor Controller

    This Motor Controller it seam promising but i was wondering if it works with SimTools directly?


    Specs:

    RoboClaw Motor Controller

    It can control two brushed DC motors from 7.5 Amp upto 60 Amp with Maximum peak of 120 amp
    has A built-in PID routine speed control
    voltages from 6 V to 34 V
    Motor speeds can be read directly from the RoboClaw for use with an external control system. Analog feedback is also supported.

    Has a USB interface that acts as a virtual serial (COM) port
    TTL serial for use with an embedded system

    The feeling of button is better with this modification ? Because stock, the feeling is hard in DCS A10 for use the camera pod.
