2.1.2 External Connections

Connect the motor to J8 (connections A, B, and C). If the motor has a center tap connection or wires for Hall-effect sensors, leave these wires unconnected. Supply a voltage compliant with the Power Supply Voltage (VM) range using J7. Recommended voltage range for the device is 4.5 V – 35 V.
