What are you looking for here?
- servo motor controller
- stepper motor controller
- DC motor controller ("brushed")
- AC motor controller ("brushless")
... or what?
A DC motor controller that is "reversing" generally uses an "H bridge". An AC motor controller often uses 3 H bridges.
((fill in more details here...))
Some motor controller circuits are such that, if the software accidentally sets the "wrong" pins hi or lo, you get a short circuit until a fuse blows or a transistor melts.
Other motor controller circuits are such that, if the software accidentally sets the "wrong" pins hi or lo, the worst that could happen is the motor spins the wrong way.
Guess which type of design I prefer?
