PWM Signal Generator in reverse polarity mode
« on: July 11, 2021, 10:35:35 am »
Can I switch the output ports of this PWM motor driver module to get out a negative PWM signal for my motor without destroying anything in the module?
I found no info about it on the sellers page.

I've no idea what you mean.
0...100% can be reversed to 100...0% PWM for a "negative pulse" PWM, if that's what you need.

In addition, it may depend on whether the motor case/frame is "ground."  In other words, motor ground and your PWM source share a ground.

Do you mean you want to create a PWM signal between 0 and -5V instead of between 0 and 5V?

Then you might try this which doesn't require a negative rail:

The output won't be able to provide a lot of current, but into a high impedance input it should work.

Yes exactly, thanks.
