The Motor Control Phidget is able to control 1 or more DC motors. Both speed and acceleration are controllable. Speed is controlled via PWM. The size of the motors that can be driven depends on the motor controller. See your hardware documentation for more information.
The motor Controller boards also have 0 or more digital inputs. * See your device's User Guide for more specific API details, * technical information, and revision details.
