The Cytron SmartDriveDuo MDDS30 is a high‑power, dual‑channel DC motor driver designed for medium‑to‑heavy duty robotics applications. Each channel supports 30A continuous current and up to 80A peak, making it suitable for combat robots, AGVs, mobile robots, and industrial motion systems. It supports multiple control modes including RC (radio control), analog, PWM, and serial, allowing flexible integration with microcontrollers, joysticks, and RC receivers. The driver uses 18 kHz PWM switching for quiet operation and smooth motor control. Features Dual‑channel 30A continuous output, 80A peak (few seconds) 7–35V DC input range for wide motor compatibility Multiple control modes: RC, analog, PWM, serial Independent or mixed‑mode control for differential‑drive robots 18 kHz PWM switching for silent motor operation Built‑in safety features: over‑current, over‑temperature protection Ideal for combat robots, AGVs, mobile robots Plug‑and‑play with RC receivers Technical Specifications Category Details Channels 2 (dual‑channel) Continuous Current 30A per channel Peak Current 80A (few seconds) Voltage Range 7–35V DC Control Modes RC, Analog, PWM, Serial PWM Frequency 18 kHz Protection Over‑current, over‑temperature Application Differential drive, robotics, AGV, combat robots Application Scenarios Differential‑drive mobile robots Combat robots requiring high‑current bursts AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) systems Industrial conveyor and motion control RC‑controlled robotic platforms Educational and research robotics Packing List 1 × Cytron SmartDriveDuo MDDS30 Motor Driver FAQ What type of motors can MDDS30 drive?
