SimStack Motor Driver Expansion Board
The SimStack Motor Driver Expansion board has been created with 8 independent H-bridges. This flexible board that can find many different and innovative uses in any simulator. Up to seven of these boards can be stacked on top of a SimStack Foundation Board to provide control of up to 56 motors in a single stack.
Each motor can be controlled in speed and direction as well as being commanded to freewheel and brake, depending on the requirements.
In addition to Brushed DC motors, this board can also support stepper motors, air core motors, DC resolvers and resistive instruments (Left & Centre Zero).
Some examples of how this hardware can be used are listed below:
- Operate small motors attached to gauges such as an altimeter or trim gauge
- Operation of Low current Stepper Motors
- Control Air core motors (Sin & Cos), such as those found on car instrument clusters
- Control DC resolvers (Sin & Cost), such as those found in older Frasca and AST simulators
- Single direction resistive gauges, such as a temperature or pressure gauge
- Bi-directional resistive gauges such as a turn or slip indicator or zero centre ammeter
