I want to buy Gimbal 12V motors with encoders AS5048A. Could you clarify whether or not it is possible to connect these two electromotors to an Arduino controller board to control them at the same time? We need two motors working synchronically by short impulses. We need to accelerate them synchronically for 180 degrees and for other 180 degrees they have to rotate by their inertia. In this way, they should make a full turn (360 degrees). Thanks.
We don’t sell that model but it should work fine - just research what protocol they use and upload the necessary code to the Arduino. Also ensure the arduino you choose has 2x of the needed protocols 
Hi. The model is on sale on your website: Gimbal Motor with Encoder - 12V, 467RPM - SparkFun Electronics. Could you clarify why you wrote that you don’t sell that model? Thank you.
I thought you were referring to a different model, I apologize. Yes, that setup will work fine
Hi. I bought the gimbal 12V electromotor but it has three power leads. Is it powered by AC current or one of the leads is just a blank one?
The 3 wires should just be Power, Ground, and Encoder Output
Thank you. But, there are already three wires connected to the encoder. They must be connected to a microcontroller board. I asked about three leads on the motor itself. If I understand you correctly, you mentioned three leads on the motor itself. If yes, then where should the encoder output, you mentioned, be connected to? As I know DC motors have just two leads, not three.
It’s a 3 phase motor, you need a driver like the one below.
Hello. Thank you. Can this motor-driver board be used with a 24V battery?
ah, I thought you were referring to the 3-wire one….we carry 4 gimbal motors with nearly the same specs but with different configurations. Those 3 wires are the motor’s phases, as YellowDog mentioned
That motor driver has an input voltage range of 2-11v
Hello. Could you please recommend a motor driver for your gimbal electromotor Gimbal Motor with Encoder - 12V, 467RPM - SparkFun Electronics and a controller board to operate two motors with a 24V battery? I have a trouble to find a motor driver and a controller board for them because they are brushless. Thank you.
We only have SparkFun Brushless Motor Driver - 3-Phase (TMC6300) - SparkFun Electronics which is for 2-11v….you’ll need to find a “3-phase motor driver” that supports 24v
Hello TS-Russell. What if we just discharge a 24V battery down to about 12V to use two 12V motor drivers SparkFun Brushless Motor Driver - 3-Phase (TMC6300) - SparkFun Electronics ? Will it work out? Thank you.
That will not be reliable and isn’t good for the battery either.
If you use the sparkfun driver, it has a maximum voltage of 11 volts, you need a voltage regulator that can drop the voltage to at least 11 volts. Pololu makes one that should work.
Like TS-Russel says, you’re better off buying a driver that can handle 24 volts on it’s own. A hobby BLDC motor speed controller should work and those can be found at any RC hobby store but will require additional parts to get running.
Hello. Could you please tell whether or not STM32 NUCLEO-64 with STM32F401RE MCU https://www.st.com/en/evaluation-tools/nucleo-f401re.html is good to control two gimbal DC 12V 3-Phase brushless electromotors with encoders Gimbal Motor with Encoder - 12V, 467RPM - SparkFun Electronics and the two Sparkfun Brushless 12V 3-Phase motor drivers (TMC6300)? Thank you.
Yes, you could use that.
