Quad DC Motor Driver Shield for Arduino

The DFRobot shield uses two TB6612FNG to control up to four DC motors, direction and speed via PWM per motor. It fits the Arduino UNO and boards in UNO form factor with 3.3 V or 5 V logic and uses the pins D3 to D8, D11 and D12. Undervoltage detection and thermal shutdown are built in.

Recommended Accessories:

• Arduino UNO R4 Minima
• Gear Motor 1:48 Single Shaft

Features:

• Four channels, 1.2 A continuous current per channel, peak 2 A (continuous pulse) and 3.2 A (single pulse)
• Pins per motor (direction / PWM): M1 D4 / D3, M2 D12 / D11, M3 D8 / D5, M4 D7 / D6
• Forward on M1 and M3 with LOW, on M2 and M4 with HIGH on the direction pin; speed 0 to 255 via PWM
• Motor supply VM 2.5 V to 13.5 V, logic supply VCC 2.7 V to 5.5 V
• Undervoltage detection and thermal shutdown

Application Examples:

• Robot vehicles with four drives
• Tracked vehicles and platforms with several motors
• Learning projects on motor control with Arduino
