BTS7960 2-Piece Motor Driver Set for Arduino with Current Limiting

Description

Product Overview

The BTS7960 2‑piece driver set from hiBCTR is engineered for demanding motor control applications where reliability and performance are paramount. Each module can handle up to 43 A continuous current, delivering the high‑power output required for electric vehicles, robotics, and industrial automation. Integrated 5 V isolation safeguards the microcontroller from voltage spikes, while the on‑board power indicator provides immediate visual feedback of the driver’s status. The design includes a heat‑sink mounting pad, allowing users to attach a suitable heat sink for enhanced thermal management during prolonged operation. With a compact package measuring just 2 × 2 × 1 inches and a lightweight of 0.5 oz, the modules fit easily into tight enclosures without compromising on durability.

Usage

These driver modules are ideal for hobbyists and professionals building smart car platforms, drone propulsion systems, and high‑torque robotic arms. The dual PWM inputs accept signals up to 25 kHz, enabling fine‑grained speed control and rapid response to dynamic load changes. Installation is straightforward: only four lines—GND, 5 V, PWM1, and PWM2—are required from the Arduino or compatible MCU, reducing wiring complexity and potential points of failure. The modules operate across a wide supply voltage range of 5.5 V to 27 V, making them compatible with a variety of battery packs and power supplies. Whether you are developing a prototype or a production‑grade system, the BTS7960 set provides the flexibility and robustness needed for real‑world applications.

FAQ

What voltage range can the BTS7960 driver operate within?

The driver accepts a supply voltage from 5.5 V up to 27 V, making it compatible with most battery packs and regulated power supplies used in hobby and professional projects.

Do I need an external heat sink for the driver modules?

While the modules can operate without a heat sink for low‑duration tasks, attaching a suitable heat sink is recommended for continuous high‑current operation to maintain optimal temperature and prolong lifespan.

How many MCU pins are required to control the driver?

Only four pins are needed: GND, 5 V, PWM1, and PWM2. This minimal wiring simplifies integration with Arduino, ESP32, or other compatible microcontrollers.

Can the driver reverse motor direction?

Yes, the BTS7960 includes built‑in direction control, allowing you to reverse motor rotation by toggling the PWM inputs, which is essential for robotics and vehicle applications.

Is the driver compatible with other microcontroller platforms besides Arduino?

Absolutely. The driver’s simple PWM interface works with any MCU that can output PWM signals, such as Raspberry Pi, STM32, and ESP series boards, provided the voltage levels are compatible.
