RoboteqŐs AX1500 controller is designed to convert commands received from a R/C
radio, Analog Joystick, wireless modem, or microcomputer into high voltage
and high current output for driving one or two DC motors. Designed for maximal
ease-of-installation, it is delivered with all necessary cables and hardware
and is ready to use in minutes.
The Single
Channel controllers are identical to the Dual Channel except that the output
transistors of both channels are perfectly synchronized and thus allow the
motor output leads to be wired in parallel and thus drive twice the amps
into a single load.
