Any plans for Orangutan with VNH5019?

Hi.

From your other post on the forum, I thought you got it working well with the Mega.

As for the 24 volts, please note this warning we have on the product page:

While the overvoltage protection typically kicks in at 27 V, it can trigger at voltages as low as 24 V, so we do not recommend using this motor driver with 24 V batteries, which significantly exceed 24 V when fully charged. If the shield is configured to power an Arduino or Arduino clone, the supply voltage must conform to that Arduino’s input voltage requirements.

You might consider using two Simple Motor Controllers instead. We have example Arduino code in the SMC user’s guide.

We don’t have any concrete plans right now to make an Orangutan with the VNH5019 chips. Custom development has to be in the multi-thousand dollar range to be attractive to us. You can email us for a more specific quote.
