Controlling 4-ch DDSM115 hub motors

Controlling 4-ch DDSM210 hub motors

* Due to the high power of the hub motors, it is necessary to consider whether the power supply solution is enough when using too many hub motors, and it is not recommended to mix DDSM115 and DDSM210 series hub motors

Wired control Mode via USB cable

• Using 115200 baud rate to communicate with ESP32 of the driver board
• Supports sending commands in JSON format to set up and control the hub motors
• Obtains feedback information in JSON format
• Provides Python demo for the host to control the hub motors

• When connecting to the Type-C port with the DDSM mark and switching to USB control, you can directly communicate with the hub motors. Suitable for the users who have the ability to independently develop the driver.

Wireless control Mode via Web application

• The DDSM Driver HAT will automatically establish a hotspot after powering on
• Allows users to connect and control the driver board via mobile phones, Tablets, and PCs with the cross-platform Web Application
• Supports sending the JSON commands to the DDSM Driver HAT via Web Application

Suitable For Raspberry P 5 / 4B
