Description
This compact MAX14870 expansion board plugs directly onto the GPIO header of a Raspberry Pi and offers a simple, inexpensive solution for driving a pair of small brushed DC motors. The two integrated MAX14870 motor drivers operate from 4.5 V to 36 V, making them an excellent control option for small motors that can be operated over a wide voltage range. The board can deliver a continuous 1.7 A (2.5 A peak) per motor. This version is supplied as a kit. This version is supplied fully assembled with soldered connectors.
Features:
- Two single-channel H-bridge motor drivers with shoot-through protection and internal freewheeling diodes (one DC motor each)
- Motor supply voltage: 4.5 V to 36 V
- Output current: 1.7 A continuous (2.5 A peak) per motor
- The board can (optionally) power the Raspberry Pi directly via an additional regulator (not included)
- The Python library makes it easy to get started
- GPIO pin assignments can be changed if the default assignments are not suitable
- Reverse-voltage protection on the motor power supply
- Undervoltage lockout and protection against overcurrent and overtemperature
- A surface-mount resistor can optionally be added to enable automatic current limiting
