Description
Make the Raspberry Pi Pico the core of your new buggy project with the Kitronik Compact Motor Driver Board for Raspberry Pi Pico.
This board allows the Raspberry Pi Pico (connected via pin header) to drive two motors simultaneously with full forward, reverse & stop control, making it ideal for Pico-controlled buggy projects. It can also power a stepper motor with half-stepping supported (micro-stepping not supported). Featuring the DRV8833 motor driver IC, it includes built-in short circuit, over current, and thermal protection.
The board provides 4 external connections to GPIO pins as well as 3V and GND supply from the Pico for additional IO options. It includes an on/off switch and power status LED for easy power management.
The board powers the Pico via a regulated supply fed into the 40-way connector, removing the need to power the Pico directly. Power input options include screw terminals or a servo-style connector.
Kitronik offers micro-python and CircuitPython modules and sample code to easily support use of the Motor Driver Board with the Pico.
