Product Description
The Motoron M3H256 Triple Motor Controller makes it easy to control DC motors from a Raspberry Pi (Model B+ or newer) through an I²C interface. Each module can independently control up to three motors, and multiple Motoron boards can be stacked on top of the same Raspberry Pi for projects that need to control even more motors. The M3H256 operates from 4.5 V to 48 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 2 A per motor. This version ships with a variety of header pin and terminal block options included but not soldered in.
This version of the Motoron is a kit that ships with the following connectors included but not soldered in:
- Two 1×10 stackable female headers (or one 2×10 header)
- Four 2-pin 3.5mm terminal blocks
- Four 2-pin 5mm screw terminal blocks
- One 1×25 breakaway male header (you can cut or break this into smaller header strips to install as desired)
It also includes a set of two M2.5 standoffs (11 mm length), screws, and nuts that can be used to secure the board at the proper height for the GPIO connector.
There are more connectors included than can be soldered to the board, providing different assembly options to suit a variety of applications. Additional connector options are available separately, and you can also solder wires directly to the board for more compact installations.
