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 is just the motor controller by itself, without any connectors or mounting hardware included.

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 Motoron M3H550 version is just the assembled PCB module as shown above, with no connectors or mounting hardware included. This version is intended for those who want to solder wires directly to the board or use different connectors from those included with other versions. We have a variety of connectors available separately.
