    Hello guys,
    first of all sorry for my English but comes straight from Google :uups:
    I believe we can do but I came in doubt.
    The h-bridge and I plan to use the following:
    MD03 - 24V 20A H Bridge Motor Drive.
    I found here:
    http://www.robot-electronics.co.uk/acat ... llers.html
    With this bridge I would like to contol a 400W motor about. :brows:

    The motor rotation should follow the input voltage, it's true?
    0v max speed in one direction
    2,5 stop
    5 v max speed in other direction
    is all this true?
    and then, I also have the dynamic speed contol, true? :sos:

    I found something on the forum, but the bridge was the h-bridge Sabretooth 5A ...
    so it should be the same as what I think?
    Thanks for waiting time and answers

    Basthard...from Italy near MONZA :yes:

    :hi:

    Hi Basthard,
    Just thought you should know it will only control one motor, if you plan on using more than one motor in your sim you will need to buy another one of these. I chose to go for the sabertooth 2x25.
    Regards Bart

    thank you for your answer, you are absolutely right, only that I will need to make turns on the same platform of my x-sim project, which already has three axes.
    But having said that I have another question:
    Can anyone tell me how to calculate the force required for an engine that is able to turn around and at about 120 degrees per second 8) ?
    the platform weighs about 300 kg
    you can see it in the gallery
    Thanks and see you soon :cheers:
