It connects to a Raspberry Pi over I2C, making it straightforward to integrate into custom robotics builds.<\/p>\n<p>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\u201312V operating range, a 5V logic level, and up to 1.2A continuous current per channel with 2A peak current.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>I2C communication<\/strong> with Raspberry Pi<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drives 2 DC motors<\/strong> or motors with encoders<\/li>\n<li><strong>TB6612FNG<\/strong> motor driver chip<\/li>\n<li><strong>STM32<\/strong> microprocessor on board<\/li>\n<li><strong>7\u201312V<\/strong> motor supply range<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compact HAT form factor<\/strong> for Raspberry Pi projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>specifications should be verified on the official manufacturer page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Raspberry Pi motor driver HAT from DFRobot for controlling two DC motors or encoder-equipped motors over I2C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":369,"template":"","pr_robot_type":[],"pr_application":[],"pr_industry":[],"pr_manufacturer":[4],"class_list":["post-368","pr_product","type-pr_product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","pr_manufacturer-dfrobot"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pr_product\/368","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pr_product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/pr_product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pr_product\/368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":405,"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pr_product\/368\/revisions\/405"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pr_robot_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpr_robot_type&post=368"},{"taxonomy":"pr_application","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpr_application&post=368"},{"taxonomy":"pr_industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpr_industry&post=368"},{"taxonomy":"pr_manufacturer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumarobot.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fpr_manufacturer&post=368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
