G+_Mike Meyer Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Got a question about H-bridge motor drivers. The data sheet for some of them talk about "forward/coast", "forward/brake", "reverse/coast" and "reverse/brake" operating modes. The tutorials I've found just talk about forward, reverse, coast and brake, and I think I understand those. Except that given that understanding, the other four don't make any sense. Any care to either explain them or provide a pointer to a tutorial that covers them? Edit: Found it. The second word ("brake" or "coast") is the behavior of the motor in when the pwm signal being used to control speed is off. The forward/brake behavior is usually preferred, and what drivers that don't support both usually give you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
