Hi all,

im just browsing looking for components and came across this:

http://www.robotgear.com.au/Product.aspx/Details/555

does anybody know if this would be suitable to run with an arduino?

Yes, it would work with Arduino - you'd just use one PWM pin for speed control and one for directional control. It's only rated to 4 amps though, so you wouldn't want to use this with a bilge pump.

you are also paying for encoder support which you don't need for thrusters.
