2x1.2A DC Motor Driver with Gravity Connector (TB6612FNG)

The DFRobot 2×1.2A DC Motor Driver with Gravity Connector is a compact dual-channel motor driver based on the TB6612FNG IC. This version features standard DFRobot Gravity connectors for plug-and-play wiring with Gravity-compatible expansion boards — no soldering or breadboard needed.

Each channel delivers up to 1.2 A continuous drive current with 2 A peak (continuous pulse) or 3.2 A peak (single pulse). The control logic is compatible with the DFRobot L298N motor driver, so existing code can be used directly. The TB6612FNG module can also be separated from the Gravity board for use on its own.
