The RoboClaw ST 2x45A Motor Controller is an intelligent motor controller designed to control two brushed DC motors at 45 Amps continuous with up to 60 Amps peak per channel. The RoboClaw ST utilizes a screw terminal for all I/Os instead of pin headers. It can be controlled from USB, RC radio, PWM, TTL serial, analog, and microcontrollers such as an Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
RoboClaw automatically supports 3.3 or 5 V logic levels, travel limit switches, home switches, emergency stop switches, power supplies, braking systems, and contractors. Power supplies can be used by enabling the built-in voltage clamping control feature. A built-in switching mode BEC supplies 5VDC at up to 3 Amps for powering user devices.
Brushed DC motors can be controlled in open or closed loops using position or velocity control modes. RoboClaw features several built-in commands for controlling acceleration, deceleration, distance, speed, current sense, voltage limits, and more. RC and analog control modes also include several user-defined settings such as acceleration and decelerate speeds.
RoboClaw incorporates several protection features including temperature, current, over-voltage, and under-voltage limits. The protection features are self-monitoring and protect RoboClaw from damage in any operating condition. Several user-definable settings such as maximum current limit, maximum and minimum battery voltages are provided for more refined control.
RoboClaw's regenerative capabilities will charge a supply battery during slow down or breaking. Its advanced circuitry can change direction during full throttle without damage! RoboClaw also incorporates a LiPo cutoff mode to prevent battery damage.

Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A ¥10,000 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RoboItchi's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RoboItchi and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
To request a return, submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets to obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
