Adafruit DRV8871 DC Motor Driver Breakout Board - 3.6A Max

Adafruit DRV8871 DC Motor Driver Breakout Board - 3.6A Max

• Super simple to use
• Works with just about any brushed DC motor.
• You can set the current limiting with an removable external resistor Rlim

Crank up your robotics with powerful Adafruit DRV8871 motor driver breakout board. This motor driver has a lot of great specs that make it useful for a wide variety of mechatronics. In particular, the simple resistor-set current limiting and auto-magic PWM support make it super easy to use with just about any brushed DC motor.<br><br> Check out the specs for the DRV8871:<br><br> 6.5V to 45V motor power voltage<br> Up to 5.5V logic level on IN pins<br> 565mΩ Typical RDS(on) (high + low)<br> 3.6A peak current<br> PWM control<br> Current limiting/regulation without an inline sense resistor<br> Undervoltage lockout<br> Overcurrent protection<br> Thermal shutdown<br><br> Using it is super simple. Connect your motor to the OUT terminal block. Power the board with 6.5-45VDC power on VMotor and provide the H-bridge input control on IN1 and IN2. You can even PWM the inputs and the driver chip will do the right thing. <br><br> You can set the current limiting with an external resistor Rlim. We solder in a 30K resistor by default for a ~2A current limit, however you can remove this resistor and/or solder a resistor over it to change the resistance and change the limit.<br><br> Each order comes with one fully assembled and tested motor driver breakout, two 2-pin terminal blocks and a small strip of header. Some light soldering is required to attach the header and terminal blocks but its a simple task that can be done with basic soldering equipment.<br><br> Technical Details<br><br> Product Dimensions: 24.4mm x 20.4mm x 9.7mm / 1.0" x 0.8" x 0.4"<br> Product Weight: 2.2g / 0.1oz<br>
