Overview

The DFRobot Raspberry Pi Motor Driver HAT is a compact motor control board designed for projects that need to run two DC motors or DC motors with encoders. It connects to a Raspberry Pi over I2C, making it straightforward to integrate into custom robotics builds.

At the heart of the board is an STM32 microprocessor paired with a TB6612FNG motor driver chip. According to the provided specifications, it supports a 7–12V operating range, a 5V logic level, and up to 1.2A continuous current per channel with 2A peak current.

This HAT is intended for hobby and DIY applications such as smart cars, balance robots, small tracked vehicles, and other Raspberry Pi-based motion projects. The board also includes an encoder interface for compatible motor setups.
