PicoCon - "No-Frills" Motor Controller Kit for Raspberry Pi
Really simple to solder, only 8 components to be soldered
PicoCon is a basic motor controller for your Raspberry Pi based mobile robot
This board uses a dual H-Bridge chip controlled directly from the GPIO pins on your Raspberry Pi
- Dual H-Bridge driver to drive 2 DC motors (or 2 sets of 2 if using paired motors on each side of the robot)
- A 6-pin I2C breakout header is included with 5V, 3.3V and Gnd connections - you can use this to plug in our IP Display module so you know what IP address your wireless robot has been allocated
- 2-pin screw terminals used for motor connection and motor power connection
- A 10-way female header breaking out many other GPIO pins for you to use in your robot
- Directly supported in ScratchGPIO4 onwards using the same addon board definition as PiRoCon "piroconB" - many thanks to Simon Walters for some excellent work
- The standard 4tronix python libraries will all work as they all use the same pins to control the motors
Motor A: Physical GPIO connector pins 19 and 21 (MOSI and MISO)
Motor B: Physical GPIO connector pins 24 and 26 (CE0 and CE1)
