Closed Loop Current Control
Although our Porters have current limiting which can be adjusted, they were not really designed to provide an active closed loop current control mode. So many thanks to Ian Beaver for making public a neat Read More
Fitting a Porter to a PDQ Power trike
The old PDQ wiring used a Scientific Generics controller, a lot of which are failing after many years service. The Porter 5 is a good replacement, here are some steps for fitting a Porter to Read More
Driving the Porter by Raspberry Pi
Our Porter range can be used as an interface between a Raspberry Pi and a motor. The Pi can provide a PWM output via its GPIO pins and this can be fed into the input Read More
Porter: Disabling Regenerative Braking
We are sometimes asked how to disable the regen braking on the Porter series of controllers. It’s a 5 minute job if you’re handy with a scalpel and soldering iron, here’s how to do it…. Read More
Porter Current Limit Adjustment
It is possible to adjust the Porter current limit setting by fitting either a fixed resistor or a potentiometer across the pads circled in red below A resistance of 100k gives a motor current limit Read More
DMR-203 Radio Control of a Porter 5 / 10
The DMR-203 can be used to give radio control of a Porter 5 / 10 at up to 24v by using the wiring shown below. The rest of the wiring should be as shown in Read More
