If so, the\u00a0<em>Thruster Commander<\/em>\u00a0is the perfect tool to help with that.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Thruster Commander<\/em>\u00a0comes with a small control unit that has inputs and outputs along with potentiometers, knobs, cables, and terminal blocks. The control unit is designed to be a flexible as possible and has the following features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 thruster output channels (but four outputs so you can double up each channel)<\/li>\n<li>Input channels for independent LEFT\/RIGHT control<\/li>\n<li>Input channels for mixed SPEED\/STEERING control<\/li>\n<li>Switch input for toggle switch or deadman switch (normally closed with a jumper)<\/li>\n<li>Power through ESC\u2019s BEC if available or 7-28v through the included cable<\/li>\n<li>Anodized aluminum case with mounting holes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using the independent inputs, you can control one or both of the thruster output channels separately. This is perfect for testing thrusters in the shop or running them in a permanent installation. We use this setup in our own thruster production process to quickly test thruster functionality. The mixed speed and steering inputs are perfect anytime you\u2019re using two thrusters side-by-side on a vehicle and want control over combined speed as well as differential steering.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that none of the components in the\u00a0<em>Thruster Commander<\/em>\u00a0are waterproof! They are meant to be integrated into a larger project. We recommend installing them in a waterproof case. The potentiometers are panel-mount style and include nuts to fasten them to a control panel.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of neat things that you can do with the\u00a0<em>Thruster Commander<\/em>, but we put together a video of one example using a stand-up paddleboard. Check it out!<\/p>\n<p>For most applications, we recommend pairing the\u00a0<em>Thruster Commander<\/em>\u00a0with the\u00a0T200 Thrusters\u00a0and the\u00a0Basic ESC.<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default\">\n<div id=\"tab-contents\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse show\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"headingOne1\">\n<div class=\"panel-body\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"panel panel-default\">\n<div id=\"tab-title-technical-details\" class=\"panel-heading\" role=\"tab\">\n<div id=\"tab-technical-details\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse show\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"headingOne1\">\n<div class=\"panel-body\">\n<div id=\"tab-learn\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse show\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"headingOne1\">\n<div class=\"panel-body\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Thruster Commander makes it easy to get started with our thrusters and speed controllers.
