The Universal Motor Driver P2 Add-on Board was designed as an accessory for the Parallax Propeller 2 eight-core microcontroller. It is compatible with standard P2 dual-port accessory headers found on the Propeller 2 Evaluation Board (#64000), P2 Edge Module Breadboard (#64020), and P2 Edge Mini Breakout Board (#64019).

• This 4-phase motor driver add-on supports experimentation and development with many motor types, including brushed and brushless motors. For example, it could support a single brushless 3-phase BDLC motor, a 4-phase stepper motor, or two standard brushed (2-wire) DC motors.  It is the recommended motor driver for the 6.5″ Hub Motor with Encoder.
  
• For example, it could support a single brushless 3-phase Hub Brushless DC (BDLC) motor, a 4-phase stepper motor, two brushed bi-directional DC motors or four brushed uni-directional DC motors. With a 3-phase motor, both sinusoidal 180° and classic 120° drive techniques are supported.
  
• The open design and standard 0.1” connectors allow the Universal Motor Driver P2 Add-on Board to be used with other microcontrollers as well.
  

Features:

• Universal 4-phase motor driver using four MIC4604 MOSFET drivers
• Phases can be controlled individually or in groups to support many motor types including single or 3-phase motors, single/dual DC motors or 4-phase stepper motors
• Siunsoidal 180° or classic 120° drive topology
• Each phase allows individual control of High and Low sides
• High and Low sides protected against simultaneous activation
• On-board Hall effect sensor connector for motor control feedback
• Common current feedback signal for motor control and over-current protection
• Independent voltage feedback signals for each phase, for motor control and over-voltage protection
• Under-voltage protection built into the MOSFET drivers
