PCA9685 + TB6612 DC Stepper Motor Driver Board for Arduino - Purple
This is the DC Motor + Stepper FeatherWing which will let you use 2 * bi-polar stepper motors or 4 * brushed DC motors (or 1 stepper and 2 DC motors). Using our Feather Stacking Headers or Feather Female Headers you can connect a FeatherWing on top or bottom of your Feather board and let the board take flight! Since the FeatherWing only uses the I2C (SDA & SCL pins)£¬ it works with any and all Feathers- ATmega32u4£¬ ATSAM M0 or ESP8266-based. You can stack it with any other FeatherWing or with itself (just make sure you have each wing with a unique I2C address). Check out our range of Feather boards here. Motor FeatherWing Specs: 4 full H-Bridges: the TB6612 chipset provides 1.2A per bridge (3A peak) with thermal shutdown protection£¬ internal kickback protection diodes. Can run motors on 4.5VDC to 13.5VDC. Up to 4 bi-directional DC motors with individual 12-bit speed selection (so£¬ about 0.02% resolution). Up to 2 stepper motors (unipolar or bipolar) with single coil£¬ double coil£¬ interleaved or micro-stepping. Motors automatically disabled on power-up. Big 3.5mm terminal block connectors to easily hook up wires (18-26AWG) and power. Polarity protected 2-pin terminal block and jumper to connect external power£¬ for separate logic/motor supplies. Completely stackable design: 5 address-select jumper pads means up to 32 stackable wings: that's 64 steppers or 128 DC motors! What on earth could you do with that many steppers? I have no idea but if you come up with something send us a photo because that would be a pretty glorious project.
