ATOM Series Motion-Control Base with 4-Channel Servo, 2-Channel DC Motor Drive and Real-Time Power Monitoring
The M5Stack Atomic Motion Base v1.2 is a compact motion-control and power-management base designed for M5Stack ATOM series controllers. It combines 4-channel servo control with 2-channel DC motor control, enabling a single ATOM host to operate multiple actuators in robotics, automation, and portable motion-control projects. An STM32 controller and RZ7899 motor-drive solution handle actuator control, while I2C communication provides a straightforward interface between the base and the host controller.
The base integrates a rechargeable 900 mAh 18350 lithium battery with dedicated battery and system-protection functions. A DW01-A single-cell lithium battery protection IC provides overcharge, over-discharge, and short-circuit protection, while the INA226AIDGSR power-monitor IC measures battery voltage, current, and power in real time. Integrated overload protection, 2 HY2.0-4P expansion interfaces, an independent power switch, removable battery design, and magnetic mounting make the Atomic Motion Base v1.2 well-suited for portable robots, actuator systems, and sensor-enabled control projects.
