What is CSI-MOT-24?

CSI-MOT-24 multitype motor controller is versatile and useful to have during troubleshooting and building prototypes that involve motor control. The CSI-MOT-24 can connect to a stepper motor driver, or DC motor driver and can be used for servo motor testing.   

CSI-MOT-24 connects QJ-215 Stepper Motor Driver 

1. Connect VC+ and VC- on the CSI-MOT-24 to an 8V power supply. 
2. Next, connect CP and DIR on the CSI-MOT-24 to the CP and DIR on the stepper motor driver QJ-215 accordingly. 
3. Connect +5V on the CSI-MOT-24 to the +5V on the QJ-215 to power the driver.
4. Connect the VCC and GND on the QJ-215 to a 13V power supply.
5. Finally, make sure to connect all ground wires accordingly. This is crucial for the system’s operation. 

CSI-MOT-24 connects CSI-MOT-24 DC Motor Driver 

1. Connect GND on the CSI-MOT-24 to In2 on MTD-01.
2. Next, Connect IN1 on the CSI-MOT-24 to the In1 on the MTD-01. 
3. Connect +24V on the CSI-MOT-24 to the ENA on the MTD-01.
4. Next, supply the MTD-01 with a 24V power source.
5. Finally, connect the OUT1 and OUT2 to a DC motor such as the LS-00027.

Conclusion

At this point, I hope that I convinced you the CSI-MOT-24 is a versatile testing unit that we found useful during troubleshooting and building prototypes that involve motor control. Especially, the ability to be used as a servo motor testing is underrated. We will cover how to use the CSI-MOT-24 as a servo motor tester in future projects.
