Input Settings tab in the Pololu Simple Motor Control Center.
Input Mode
The Input Mode specifies what kind of input the controller will use to calculate the Target Speed of the motor. The
available options are:
• Serial/USB: In this input mode, the Target Speed is specified by serial or USB commands, and the Target
Speed is reset to zero whenever there is an error. This is the default input mode.
• Analog: In this input mode, the Target Speed is determined by the voltages measured on the analog signal
lines (A1 and optionally A2 if you want to use mixing).
• RC: In this input mode, the Target Speed is determined by the pulse widths measured on the RC signal lines
(RC1 and optionally RC2 if you want to use mixing).
Regardless of which input mode you choose, the Analog and RC input channels will always be measured; those
channels can be used as limit or kill switches if they are not controlling the speed of the motor and their values can be
retrieved using the Get Variable serial command.
Mixing Mode
If you have chosen Analog or RC as the Input Mode, the Mixing Mode setting specifies whether to use mixing and
what type of mixing it is.
