Tinkerforge DC Bricklet 2.0

Tinkerforge DC Bricklet 2.0 lets the user to control one DC brushed motor (28Vmax and 5Apeak) over USB. The direction, velocity, and acceleration of the connected motor can be controlled using the provided API that supports many programming languages. Additionally, the API provides the possibility to measure current consumption and the voltage of the power supply as well. It also triggers callbacks in case of overtemperature and overcurrent situations. The drive mode can be switched between Drive/Brake and Drive/Coast.
