Power
The qik motor controller is powered via the large VIN and GND pads on the power side of the board (do not
power the controller through the VIN and GND pads on the logic side of the board!), as shown in the picture
above. The input voltage can be between 6 and 16 V and is the voltage that the motors will see. An integrated
voltage regulator produces the 5 V that powers the board’s logic, so no separate logic power supply is necessary.
Both the input voltage and regulated voltage can be accessed as outputs on the left side of the board (i.e. the logic
connections). See
for more information. Please ensure that your power source can supply the current
your motors will draw.
