Robot Power Scorpion Mini Dual Channel R/C H-Bridge Motor Controller 6.5A, 6-28V
Controls diverse electrical loads
Supports 6.0V to 28V battery voltage
Offers 6.5A continuous, 8A peak
Features fully reversible H-bridge
Includes LED indicators for operation
The Robot Power Scorpion Mini Dual Channel R/C H-Bridge Motor Controller 6.5A, 6-28V is a compact and cost-effective solution for controlling small robots and various electrical loads. It is particularly suited for applications such as ant and beetle weight combat robots, R2D2 replicas, sumo robots, firefighting robots, maze solvers, and carpet rovers. Additionally, it can drive pneumatic valves, solenoids, relays, and thermoelectric coolers, offering a versatile range of uses.
This motor controller is engineered to deliver high power handling capabilities and flexible control options within a minimal footprint. It supports a standard R/C pulse format and operates within a battery voltage range of 6.0V to 28V, providing a continuous current of 6.5A per channel, with a peak of 8A. The fully reversible H-bridge design ensures equal power handling in both directions across both channels, while features like full current limiting and over-temperature protection safeguard motors and batteries from potential damage.
The Scorpion Mini offers the ability to mix channels for throttle and steering or control them separately, making it ideal for skid steer vehicles and robots. It includes indicator LEDs for motor speed and direction, a status LED for operational and error conditions, and a receiver battery eliminator circuit. The unit also features a failsafe mechanism to shut off motors if the R/C signal is lost, and a calibration function to align with radio signal ranges. The FLASH-based microcontroller allows for software upgrades, ensuring long-term adaptability.

2.00 x 1.50 x 0.5 inches
Standard R/C pulse format
Compatible with 6.0V to 28V battery voltage
Supports 6.5A continuous (8A peak) current on each channel
Fully reversible H-bridge design
Includes full current limiting and over-temperature limiting
Two channels can be mixed (throttle/steering) or controlled separately
Indicator LED for speed and direction of motor on each channel
Status LED provides status information and mode indications
Receiver battery eliminator circuit (BEC) is standard
Failsafe feature shuts off motors if R/C signal is lost
Calibration function to match unit to radio signal range
Mix Jumper can be cut to enable separate control of each channel
Lipo Jumper can be cut to enable low-voltage cutoff when using Lipo batteries
FLASH-based microcontroller with upgradeable software via in-circuit programming header
Ceramic oscillator (crystal) ensures stable operation at all temperatures
This little driver is hard to kill. Unfortunately I tried and got something crossed and one side went poof. Talked with customer service and they said the other channel might still work (I only need to drive one motor) and also advised to cut the mix jumper for my application. It worked!! Thanks Roboshop

Seems like a really nice chip.
Fit and finish are nice, solder's look good. I plugged this into my Spectrum DX6E, hooked to two 9v motors on the "Osepp TANK" robot platform. Works great! Automatic channel mixing done right on the motor control. there's a jumper to pull off to enable separate control of each channel. The price was right, Don't hesitate!

it IS a really nice chip.
Just an update review! purchased 5/20/2017 today is 3-20-19 This chip is still piloting my little robot around just fine! quality lasting product.

very happy with this controller
Bought 2 of these for a project and worked flawlessly. Set up is a breeze and have had no issues. I am purchasing more for other projects i am working on

Great for combat bots
I used these for an Antweight and a Beetleweight robot this year. Controls and power are reliable and worked great.
