FireBeetle Covers DC Motor & Stepper Driver - 4-channel DC motor driver for FireBeetle

Description

The module with the controller of DC motors designed for FireBeetle boards. It is based on two TB6612FNG chips and the STM8S105 microcontroller, which controls the H bridges and communicates via the I2C interface. It allows you to control four DC motors with a voltage in the range from 2.5 to 13.5 V, and each channel can take a current of 1.2 A (temporary 3.2 A). The module can also control the movement of two stepper motors or 4 servos. Motors and power supply to drives are connected via screw connections. There is also a 4x3-pin connector for connecting servos. The driver allows you to reduce the number of pins needed to control the drives to a minimum. It can be used in mobile robots and home automation. Full documentation is available on the product page.
