5. Configuring Your Motor Controller
The Simple Motor Controllers can be configured over USB using the Pololu Simple Motor Control Center, which is
available for download from the Pololu website (see
Section 3.1 ).
5.1. Input Settings
The Input Settings tab of the Pololu Simple Motor Control Center allows you to quickly specify how you want to
control the speed of the motor, and also allows you to set up limit and kill switches.
As a first step, we recommend that you click “Quick Input Setup…”. This will launch the Quick Input Setup
Wizard, which will let you specify how you want to control of the motor, and (if you are using analog or RC) lets you
quickly calibrate your inputs. When you finish the Quick Input Setup Wizard, your new settings will get saved in the
Input Settings tab and will (optionally) be applied to the device so you can start using your new settings right away.
After you are done running the Quick Input Setup, you should be able to successfully control your motor, as long as
you have made all the necessary electrical connections as described in
Section 4 .
The rest of this section documents all of the Input Settings in detail. If you are able to control the motor the way you
want to after running the Quick Input Setup Wizard, then you probably don’t need to read this section.
The serial settings in the Input Settings tab are not documented here. If you want to use the serial
interface, please see
Section 6 .
