Not really newer, just different specs. The "2" version goes up to only 16 volt and is used for automotive motors powered from 12 lead acid batteries. The "3" has a higher voltage rating. I think some other slight differences too.
What you are really doing here is building a DIY servo motor. An H-bridge and PWM are used to drive a quadrature encoder to the desired position and rate. The nest question is "Where to attach the encoder?" Placing it on the motor shaft gives best regulation and control of speed but placing it on the faceplate removes all the backlash On Thu, Oct 15, 2020 at 10:43 AM Thaddeus Waldner <thadw...@gmail.com> wrote: > I see that some of these use the > VNH2SP30 and some use the > VNH3SP30. > > Is one of them a newer revision of the same chip? > > > On Oct 15, 2020, at 12:02 PM, Chris Albertson <albertson.ch...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > forgot the link https://www.pololu.com/product/705 < > https://www.pololu.com/product/705> This is different > > because the Polulu version has a MOSFET to protect from connecting the > > power supply backward.
