1. INTRODUCTION
SmartDriveDuo-30 is one of the latest smart series motor drivers designed to drive medium
power brushed DC motor with current capacity up to 80A peak (few seconds) and 30A
continuously, each channel. This driver is designed specially for controlling differential drive
mobile robot using RC controller. Nevertheless, MDDS30 also can be controlled using analog
joystick or microcontroller (PWM, Serial). MOSFETs are switched at 18 KHz to ensure quiet
operation and no annoying whining sound. Besides, it also equipped with a microcontroller
unit to provide smart features such as multiple input mode and thermal protection.
“SmartDriveDuo-30’s feature makes driving a robot with
differential drive a truly plug and play experience”
Some of the features for SmartDriveDuo-30 are summarized as below:
●Bi-directional control for dual brushed DC motor.
●Support motor voltage from 7V to 35V.
●Maximum current up to 80A peak (1 second), 30A continuously, each channel.
●On board MOSFETs are switched at 18 KHz for quiet operation.
●Battery low voltage indicator.
●Battery over voltage indicator.
●Thermal protection.
●Current limit protection.
●Multiple input modes: RC, Analog/PWM, Serial Simplified and Serial Packetized.
●On board push buttons for fast test and manual operation.

FUNCTION
A
MOTOR RIGHT LED INDICATOR
Indication for current flow and direction for motor RIGHT. If LED MRA turns on, means current
flows from output MRA to MRB. Vice versa.
B
MOTOR RIGHT TERMINAL BLOCK
Connect to motor RIGHT at your mobile robot. User can screw to lock the wire to the terminal
block. Please use wire with proper thickness to support the expected current.
C
POWER SUPPLY TERMINAL BLOCK
Connect to battery power source. User can screw to lock the wire to the terminal block. NO
POLARITY PROTECTION, please double check the connection before power up. Please use wire
with proper thickness to support the expected current.
D
MOTOR LEFT TERMINAL BLOCK
Connect to motor LEFT at your mobile robot. User can screw to lock the wire to the terminal
block or solder the wire directly to the pad at bottom layer. Please use wire with proper
thickness to support the expected current.
E
MOTOR LEFT LED INDICATOR
Indication for current flow and direction for motor LEFT. If LED MLA turns on, means current
flows from output MLA to MLB. Vice versa.
F
COOLING FAN CONNECTOR
Optional cooling fan (not included) can be connected here and mount at the bottom PCB.

5. POWER SUPPLY
SmartDriveDuo-30 supports battery with input voltage ranges from 7V to 35V. The
recommended power sources are:
●6 – 18 cells NiMH or NiCd battery.
●3 – 6 cells LiPo or Li-Ion battery.
●7V – 35V sealed lead acid battery.
●7V – 35V power supply. MUST BE IN PARALLEL WITH A BATTERY WITH SAME VOLTAGE
The power source can be connected to SmartDriveDuo-30 either via the terminal block, or
soldered directly to the pad at the bottom layer. THERE IS NO POLARITY PROTECTION ON
MDDS30, PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THE CONNECTION BEFORE CONNECTING TO THE
BATTERY.
NOTE
If a power supply that cannot sink current is being used (example: bench top and AC to DC
switching power supply), the input voltage will rise when the driver is regenerating (motor
is slowing down, or being pushed by external force). Thus, it is important to connect a
battery with same voltage in parallel with the power supply to absorb the current
generated by the motor. Else, the input voltage might rise to a level where
SmartDriveDuo-30 can’t handle and it will be destroyed permanently or the power supply
trigger protection mode.

6. MOTOR CONNECTION
Similar to the power supply, connection to the motor can be made either via the terminal
block, or it can be soldered directly to the bottom layer pad.
For MIXED mode, especially for RC input mode, each terminal block must be connected to
the same side of the motor. For example, left terminal block connected to motor LEFT and
right terminal block connected to motor RIGHT. User can further test it by controlling the
motor by using RC controller. If the motor give wrong direction, reverse the polarity of the
motor connection at the terminal block.
WARNING!
IF YOU’RE DEVELOPING A MOBILE ROBOT, PLEASE TAKE NOTE ON THIS:
Pushing the robot without connecting the batteries to the driver is very risky and might
burn the motor driver. When the robot is being pushed, power will be generated by the
motor. If the battery is connected, the generated power will flow to the battery and
charge it.
If the battery is not connected, the generated power has nowhere to go and
the voltage will rise. If the generated voltage is higher than what the motor driver can
handle, components may burn!
This condition is categorized under misuse, and
DAMAGED CAUSED BY MISUSE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY
What you can do to move your robot from one place to another?
1. If you plan to push/pull the robot, please make sure the batteries is connected to the
motor driver* or
2. disconnect the motor from the motor driver.
3. Use trolley to carry your robot. (Recommended)
*You will feel difficult to push the robot, because the motor driver is in brake state.
