The Robot Power Hydra Triple Channel R/C H-Bridge Motor Controller 6.5A, 6-28V is a compact, high-performance speed controller designed for small robotic applications and various electrical loads. It is particularly suitable for ant and beetle-weight combat robots, R2D2 replicas, sumo robots, and other small robots such as firefighting robots, maze solvers, and carpet rovers. Additionally, it can drive pneumatic valves, solenoids, relays, and thermoelectric coolers, offering a versatile solution for diverse control needs.

This motor controller features a fully reversible H-bridge design, providing equal power handling in both directions across all three channels. It supports a continuous current of 6.5A, with a peak of 8A per channel, and operates within a battery voltage range of 6.0V to 28V. The device includes full current limiting and over-temperature protection, ensuring robust performance and safeguarding motors and batteries from short circuits.

The Hydra offers flexibility with its control options, allowing two channels to be mixed for throttle and steering or controlled separately, making it ideal for skid steer vehicles and robots. It includes limit switch inputs to control motion direction, indicator LEDs for motor speed and direction, and a status LED for operational status and error conditions. The controller also features a receiver battery eliminator circuit, a failsafe mechanism to shut off motors if the R/C signal is lost, and a calibration function to match the unit to the radio signal range.

Note: Ensure proper handling to avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or electrical short circuits.
