MikroElektronika H-Bridge 2 Click Element
The H-bridge 2 click element is used to control the channels of a dual H-bridge. This element is for using the MikroElektronika H-Bridge 2 Click board. This click board can be used to drive a DC motor. In addition, this board contains an external MOFSET that can be used as an auxiliary switch for another component or small motor.
The MikroElektronika page for this click board can be found here.
The H-bridge 2 click is a sensor element that can be imported into the Element Toolbox through the Add Element button located in the toolbox from the Embedded tab.
