7.0 INPUT MODE
When the
​
SmartDrive160 is powered up, the input mode will be read from the DIP switch
and retained as long as the driver is powered. If you wish to change the input mode, you will
need to change the setting on the DIP switch and power cycle the driver (Turn it off and turn
it on again).
In RC or Analog/PWM Input mode, two units of SmartDrive160 may be used together to
control two motors in mixed mode. This is useful to control the robot with differential drive
system where one input controls the speed and forward/backward direction of the robot,
while another input controls the left/right direction of the robot.
SmartDrive160 supports four different types of input mode. The DIP switch settings for each
mode and the function for input pin are summarized as below:
