{"product_id":"motor-driver-board-for-raspberry-pi-pico","title":"Motor Driver Board for Raspberry Pi Pico","description":"\u003cp\u003eMake the Raspberry Pi Pico the core of your new buggy project with the Kitronik Compact Motor Driver Board for Raspberry Pi Pico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis board allows the Raspberry Pi Pico (connected via pin header) to drive two motors simultaneously with full forward, reverse \u0026amp; stop control, making it ideal for Pico controlled buggy projects. Alternatively, the board can be used to power a stepper motor. The board also features the DRV8833 motor driver IC, which has built-in short circuit, over current and thermal protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board also features 4 external connections to GPIO pins and a 3V and GND supply from the Pico. This allows for additional IO options for your buggy builds that can be read or controlled by the Pico. There is also an on\/off switch and power status LED. See at a glance if the board is powered up and save your batteries when your project is not in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo use the motor driver board, the Pico should have a soldered pin header and be inserted firmly into the connector. The board also produces a regulated 3V supply that is fed into the 40-way connector to power the Pico, removing the need to power the Pico directly. The motor driver board is powered via a USB style connector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKitronik has developed a micro-python module and sample code to support the use of the Motor Driver board with the Pico. This code is available in the GitHub repo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNote: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaspberry Pi Pico is NOT included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
