Motor x4 TinyShield (discontinued)

DESCRIPTION Note: This TinyShield has been discontinued and replaced with the Dual Motor TinyShield (which can be stacked to support additional motors) The Motor x4 TinyShield allows you to drive four independently controlled DC brushed motors from your TinyDuino! Using four of the super miniature but very powerful 2mm x 2mm TI DRV8837 Motor Driver (H-Bridge) IC, this shield will allow for to 1.8A per channel and operate motors between 1.8 to 11V. The DRV8837 is extremely easy to use and interfaces and uses a simple PWM to control motor speed, direction, coasting and braking. The board includes a bypass capacitors, as well as heatsinking the chips to a large plane on the bottom side of the board to help with heat dissipation. An external power connection is supplied to connect up to your motor power source (like a battery), and all the connections to the motors are with standard 0.1″ spaced holes, that you can solder your motor leads into or use the supplied 0.1″ headers.
