Driver L298P

Mobile platform for testing electric motors. Allows you to control the movement of the platform in real time, which moves along the test route and take parameters from the sensors.

When it comes to controlling DC motors, there are times when you may need to make sudden changes in speed, such as going from 0% power to full power or changing direction. However, this type of operation requires very high currents, much more than simple movement. To address this issue, it's possible to implement a smooth start for the motor by utilizing both the standard delay function delay() and timers.

Consider the option of connecting a conventional DC motor to the controller, which can be used, for example, to move the robot or perform useful work. To do this, we will use a motor controller based on the common L298P microcircuit.

One controller can control multiple DC motors. Since the control code will be the same, that is, allocate a separate class for it. Then, when adding a new engine, it will be enough to add just a few lines, and not copy the same functions and variables for each.
