Description
The Grove – I2C Motor Driver (TB6612FNG) can drive two DC motors up to 12V/1.2A or drive one stepper motor up to 12V/1.2A. With the on-board MCU, it can work with Arduino easily via the Grove I2C interface.
This diver board is based on TB6612FNG, which is a driver IC for the DC motor and stepper motor with output transistor in LD MOS structure with low ON-resistor. Two input signals, IN1 and IN2, can choose one of four modes such as CW, CCW, short brake, and stop mode.
Note
- We’ve Released the Grove Selection Guide and hope to help you find the Grove that suits you best.
- We also released a new I2C Motor Driver(L298P), which is a common-use motor driver for the stepping motor and servo motor. It embeds an STM32 chip for burning the code to control the motor driver. Welcome to try~
