This Raspberry Pi add-on is perfect for any motion project as it can\r\ndrive up to 4 DC or 2 Stepper motors with full PWM speed control. Since the\r\nRaspberry Pi does not have a lot of PWM pins, we use a fully-dedicated PWM\r\ndriver chip onboard to both control motor direction and speed. This chip\r\nhandles all the motor and speed controls over I2C. Only two pins (SDA \u0026amp; SCL)\r\nare required to drive the multiple motors, and since it's I2C you can also\r\nconnect any other I2C devices or HATs to the same pins. In fact, you can even\r\nstack multiple Motor HATs, up to 32 of them, for controlling up to 64 stepper\r\nmotors or 128 DC motors (or a mix of the two) - just remember to purchase and\r\nsolder in a stacking header instead of the one we include. Motors are\r\ncontrolled by TB6612 MOSFET drivers with 1.2A per channel current capability\r\n(you can draw up to 3A peak for approx 20ms at a time), a big improvement over\r\nL293D drivers and there are built-in flyback diodes as well. We even had a\r\nlittle space so we added a polarity protection FET on the power pins and a bit\r\nof prototyping area. And the HAT is assembled and tested here at Adafruit so\r\nall you have to do is solder on the included 2x20 plain header and the\r\nterminal blocks. Install the easy-to-use Python library, check out the\r\nexamples and you're ready to go! Comes with an assembled \u0026amp; tested HAT,\r\nterminal blocks, and 2x20 plain header. Some soldering is required to assemble\r\nthe headers on\u003c\/p\u003e \r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n  \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\r\n         \u003cli\u003e4 H-Bridges: TB6612 chipset provides 1.2A per bridge with thermal shutdown protection, internal kickback protection diodes.
