Great brushed dc motor driver
I used this motor driver with a Maxon RE35 brushed DC motor and it performed flawlessly. The build quality is solid and the board stays stable even under high load. The PWM control is smooth and the response is consistent without noticeable noise or jitter. The onboard protections (overcurrent and thermal) add peace of mind, especially when testing motors at different loads. The wiring terminals are also large enough for thicker gauge wires, which is a big advantage for higher current setups. Overall, this driver is simple to set up, reliable under continuous use, and delivers the rated power without issues. A very good option for robotics or any application where you need a clean and dependable DC motor driver.

Awesome little motor controller and great bang for your buck.
Works great and couldn’t be easier to use. Nothing else like this in this price range both from functionality and feature set. I’ve been running 5-10 amps thru one nonstop for weeks and I’ve had 0 issues and it runs very cool. I’m going to buy a stack of these to have on hand for my projects.

Powerful, cool, has buttons with LEDs for manual use
Citron 13amp Powerful, cool, has buttons with status LEDs for manual operation. Check out my video. These things are great.

I love these boards, they are very easy to use
I highly recommend using the Cytron boards, they required only 2 control pins per motor (PWM & DIR), as compared to some other boards that are 3-pins per motor (PWM, FORWARD, & BACKWARD). For small embedded boards like the NodeMCU ESP8266, using fewer pins is a plus. On the downside, each board only controls one motor. Some other boards this size would have two motors.

Super power handling capabilities
I purchased these for a robotic rover that I want to build. The ability for these to control and deliver large DC motors the current they need will make them perfect. Very simple connections DIR pin, PWM pin and ground pin for control. DC from power supply and output to the motors and you are good to go. If you have a signal generator with a Pulse width adjustable output it is very easy to test. Dronebot workshop has a very good YouTube video on using an Arduino to control this board as well.
