Roboteq’s AX3500 controller is a product family designed 
to convert commands received from a R/C radio, Analog 
Joystick, wireless modem, or microcomputer into high volt-
age and high current output for driving one or two DC 
motors. Designed for maximal ease-of-use in OEM applica-
tions, it is delivered with all necessary cables and hardware 
and is ready to use in minutes. 
The controller's two channels can either be operated inde-
pendently or mixed to set the direction and rotation of a 
vehicle by coordinating the motion on each side of the vehi-
cle. The motors may be operated in open or closed loop 
speed mode. Using low-cost position sensors, they may 
also be set to operate as heavy-duty position servos.
The AX3500 may be ordered in one of many assembly 
options, depending whether optical encoder input is 
needed and depending on the application’s power, number 
of channels, and thermal requirements.
The AX2550 can be reprogrammed in the field with the lat-
est features by downloading new operating software from 
Roboteq’s web site. Numerous safety features are incorpo-
rated into the controller to ensure reliable and safe opera-
tion in the most demanding mobile robotic vehicle 
applications.
