This Raspberry Pi add-on is perfect for any motion project, as it can drive up to 4 DC or 2 Stepper motors with full PWM speed control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaspberry Pi and motors are not included. Works with any and all Raspberry Pi computers with 2x20 connection port.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the Raspberry Pi does not have a lot of PWM pins, we use a fully-dedicated PWM driver chip onboard to both control motor direction and speed. This chip handles all the motor and speed controls over I2C. Only two pins (SDA \u0026amp; SCL) are required to drive the multiple motors, and since it's I2C you can also connect any other I2C devices or HATs to the same pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotors are controlled by TB6612 MOSFET drivers with 1.2A per channel current capability (you can draw up to 3A peak for approx 20ms at a time), a big improvement over L293D drivers and there are built-in flyback diodes as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe even had a little space so we added a polarity protection FET on the power pins and a bit of prototyping area. And the HAT is assembled and tested here at Adafruit with the 2x20 connector and terminal blocks already soldered on, so this is a plug-and-play, no soldering required motor control kit!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with an assembled \u0026amp; tested HAT, with terminal blocks already soldered on, and 2x20 lifter header so it will clear the ports on a Raspberry Pi computer.
