Has anyone used an Optoisolator SparkFun Opto-isolator Breakout - BOB-09118 - SparkFun Electronics to separate the power demand of motors from the rest of their project’s components? Or does the oDrive board already do this?
I’ve seen a few robotic projects get into difficulties when the current draw from the motors caused fluctuation in the battery output. This isolator is intended to isolate the high current demands from the more sensitive components.
