Current Amplification for 12V DC Motors

Jake Callaghan
Prodigy 30 points

I am currently working on building a set of autonomous stage speakers for my engineering senior project. For this i have ordered 4, 12V DC motors. To operate these motors i am using the LabVIEW environment via the NI-Elvis breadboard. The problem is that Labview/Breadboard does not supply near enough current to run the motors so i require a current amplifier to allow my Labview program to control the motors. As the amount of current that the motors demand is quite substantial i was told that i need a big MOSFET bridge to do this. I am simply looking for some consultation as to which MOSFET drivers will work with what i have and which would be the most beneficial. All information about the motors can be found here:

many thanks,
