The NEATO-FX Motor Drive 40A is a WiFi-connected bidirectional motor controller built for animatronics, moving props, winch systems, and any application where you need to drive a DC motor with precision speed control and Home Assistant integration.
Built on the same open platform as the rest of the NeatoFX product line — configure from your phone, automate from Home Assistant, no custom code required.
What it does
- Bidirectional speed control — forward and reverse with PWM speed adjustment on both motor channels
- Stall detection — onboard current sensing monitors both channels and can stop the motor on overload
- Limit switch inputs — built-in open and closed end stop support, no external controller needed
-
Wired or WiFi control — forward/reverse/toggle inputs accept physical switches or WiFi commands
- CAN bus - network multiple boards with minimal latency
- Status output — signal another device when the motor is running
- Home Assistant native — ESPHome firmware, full automation support
- Reverse polarity protected with onboard fuse
Designed for
- Animatronic props and moving set pieces
- Winch systems and crane simulators
- Turntables and rotating displays
- Conveyor and track systems
- Any DC motor application needing WiFi control
