Good day!
I am new to working with electronics, but I am eager to learn and ambitious. Currently, I am working on using the MC33926 Motor Driver Shield with an Arduino Uno and connecting it to the LACT4P-12V-20 Linear Actuator with Feedback. I have looked through the user guide supplied with both products, and I am not certain how to connect the potentiometer wires to the shield. There are 3 wires: white (ground), yellow (V input), and blue (Rs output). They come connected to a 4-pin connector which I have removed for soldering purposes.
Using this image dual_mc33926_motor_driver_shield.pdf (981.7 KB) from the user guide, I connected the black and red wires for linear actuator power to M1A and M1B, which I am fairly certain is correct. The GND and VIN below that are connected to the 12v Li-ion battery I am using to power the project. I don’t have the jumper on the shield, so that I can power the shield and Arduino separately for now. However, having done that, I am completely uncertain where the potentiometer wires go! I don’t want to hook anything up incorrectly since unsoldering is a hassle and could damage things. Can anyone please help me out?
I appreciate any advice concerning connecting these items! Thank you!
