The Motoron M3H550 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 M3H550 operates from 1.8 V to 22 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 1.7 A per motor. This version ships with a variety of header pin and terminal block options included but not soldered in.

The Motoron M3H550 add-on board makes it easy to control up to three bidirectional, brushed DC motors with a compatible Raspberry Pi (Model B+ or newer). It operates from 1.8 V to 22 V and can deliver continuous output currents up to 1.7 A per motor. The M3H550 is designed to stack on top of a Raspberry Pi (Model B+ or newer), similar to a HAT (Hardware Attached on Top), and multiple Motoron controllers can be stacked on top of each other, allowing independent control of many motors. Unlike most of our motor drivers and motor driver expansion boards for Raspberry Pi, the Motoron does not require any PWM outputs on your Raspberry Pi. Instead, the Raspberry Pi communicates with the Motoron using I2C, so only two GPIO pins are needed regardless of how many Motorons you connect.

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)
