Me Orion - Motor Supply Input


#1

On the Orion board, there is an input for motor. It is labeled “V-M” and “Gnd”. What is the input voltage and current limits for this? Does it only feed M1 and M2, or does it also end up feeding Ports 1,2, if there is a Dual Motor Driver attached?

I have a Li-Po battery that I use for an RC car, it is 7.4V 5000mAh rated, that I am thinking of attaching.

Are there any issues using a a 6xAA battery on the barrel connector and external power for the motor ports?

Hi @Crey,

That input could feed all the ports on the Orion. The voltage is 6-12V and current is no more than 1.1A.
