Connect the motor power supply positive terminal to the VIN pin and negative to GND, then connect your DC motor leads to the OUT1 and OUT2 terminals. The controller accepts three control signals from your microcontroller: the PWM speed control pin accepts 0-5V logic signals where frequency should be between 5kHz and 20kHz for optimal performance, the direction pin determines motor rotation polarity, and the enable pin allows software-controlled shutdown. Configure your microcontroller to generate appropriate PWM signals, starting with 50 percent duty cycle for testing, then gradually increase speed while monitoring current draw and controller temperature to ensure operation remains within safe limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor robust system design, always include a large electrolytic capacitor (minimum 470uF at 35V) across the motor power supply terminals to suppress voltage spikes during motor commutation and direction reversals. If your application requires smooth acceleration ramping, implement software PWM duty cycle gradients on your microcontroller rather than abrupt speed changes, which reduces mechanical stress and electrical noise. In high-noise industrial environments, add a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor directly across the PWM input signal pins to filter out electromagnetic interference. For maximum reliability, monitor the controller's thermal output and ensure adequate airflow around the device if operating continuously at currents above 10A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan the Pololu 1365 \/ 1364 controller handle motors rated for different voltages?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller operates across 5.5V to 30V, so it can drive motors rated anywhere within this range. However, always match your power supply voltage to your motor's rated voltage for optimal performance and motor lifespan. Running a 12V motor at 24V will significantly reduce motor life due to increased heat generation and winding stress. The controller itself handles the voltage difference safely, but the motor may suffer damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the maximum PWM frequency I should use with this controller?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pololu G2 controller is optimized for PWM frequencies between 5kHz and 20kHz. Frequencies below 5kHz may cause audible motor noise and reduced smoothness, while frequencies above 20kHz can increase switching losses and heat generation in the MOSFETs. Most Arduino boards default to 490Hz PWM, so you will need to reprogram the timer registers to achieve the recommended frequency range for best performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow do I protect the controller from back-EMF spikes when the motor suddenly stops or reverses direction?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller includes integrated freewheeling diodes that handle back-EMF from motor deceleration. However, for additional protection in harsh environments, add a 470uF to 1000uF electrolytic capacitor across the power supply terminals and consider adding a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode rated for your maximum voltage across VIN and GND. These components work together to clamp voltage spikes below safe levels and protect the MOSFET gates from overstress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhen will I receive my order?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are dispatched within 1-5 business days from our Bengaluru warehouse.
