Overview: Let your robotic dreams come true with the new DC+Stepper Motor HAT. 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, It also adds the capability to control 4 Servos with perfect timing. Since 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 & 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. In fact, you can even stack multiple Motor HATS, up to 32 of them, for controlling up to 64 stepper motors or 128 DC motors (or a mix of the two) - just remember to purchase and solder in a stacking header instead of the one we include. Motors are controlled by TB6612 MOSFET drivers with 1.2A per channel and 3A peak current capability, a big improvement over L293D drivers and there are built-in flyback diodes as well.We 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 so all you have to do is solder on the included 2x20 plain header and the terminal blocks. Stepper motors are great for (semi-)precise control, perfect for many robot and CNC projects. This HAT supports up to 2 stepper motors. The python library works identically for bi-polar and uni-polar motors. Running a stepper is a little more intricate than running a DC motor but its still very easy Features: 4 H-Bridges: TB6612 chipset provides 1.2A per bridge (3A peak) with thermal shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes. Can run motors on 5VDC to 12VDC. Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 8-bit speed selection (so, about 0.5% resolution) Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil, double coil, interleaved or micro-stepping. Up to 4 Channel 12-bit PWM/Servo(5V) One Infrared Receiver(GPIO26) Big terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires (18-26AWG) and power Polarity protected 2-pin terminal block and jumper to connect external 5-12VDC power Works best with Raspberry Pi model A+, B+, Pi 2, or Pi 3; Install the easy-to-use Python library, check out the examples and you're ready to go! Pi HAT 2x20P Conector with Extra Long pin Board Specification Working voltage: 5V ~ 12V Interface: I2C Size: 65.0x55.9mm / 2.56 x 2.20inch Packing List 1 x Robot Motor HAT Expansion Board 1 x 2x20 Pin Female Header (8.5mm+5.5mm/Base height + metal pin outside height) 1 x Installation Screw Pack Video youtu.be/lUQ9d245ZK4 youtu.be/GvSKLs977gI youtu.be/Sdk6P-6Sh-I Note This board has a design flaw that requires multiple work-around solutions to make it operate with other boards because the PWM pins face upwards consuming space, per the manufacturer whom i contacted. [information on how to set addressing for multiple HATs & Documentation] 1. For the IR function, it is the same with this IR control board, please refer this WIKI page: raspberrypiwiki.com/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_IR_Control_Expansion_Board 2. For other function, please refer to: raspberrypiwiki.com/index.php/Robot_Expansion_Board 3. You may get some syntax error if you use the python 3 version for our sample code, It's just due to different versions of python. More detail refer to the above wiki URL;
