Description:
This DC motor driver allows bi-directional control of a single brushed DC motor. Supporting motor voltages from 6V to 30VDC, it can handle up to 13A continuous current and 30A peak for up to 10 seconds, making it ideal for various motor control tasks. Its small size allows for easy integration into your projects without taking up much space.
The driver board is compatible with the Arduino or any microcontroller that can output logic signal at 3.3V or 5V, and that includes the famous Raspberry Pi too! It is also Grove-compatible, providing easy connections for your next Grove project. With built-in protections against overcurrent and overheating, it works well even when things get a bit tricky.
