It uses a dedicated PWM driver chip over I2C, so only two pins (SDA/SCL) are needed — leaving the rest free for other I2C devices or HATs. The TB6612 MOSFET motor drivers provide 1.2A per channel (3A peak for ~20ms), a significant improvement over older L293D-based drivers. Built-in flyback diodes and a polarity-protection FET keep your Pi and Bonnet safe from wiring mistakes. Key Features 4× H-Bridge Motor Drivers – TB6612 chipset, 1.2A per bridge with thermal shutdown and kickback protection Up to 4 DC Motors – Bi-directional with individual 8-bit PWM speed control Up to 2 Stepper Motors – Unipolar or bipolar, single/double coil, interleaved, or micro-stepping 4.5–13.5V Motor Power – Polarity-protected 2-pin terminal block with jumper I2C Control – Dedicated PWM chip, sharable bus with other I2C devices Stackable – Up to 32 Bonnets for controlling up to 128 DC motors or 64 steppers Fully Assembled – Terminal blocks and 2×20 header pre-soldered, plug and play Programming Python (pip-installable library with examples) Compatibility Any Raspberry Pi with 2×20 GPIO header (Pi Zero, A+, B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi 5) Important: Raspberry Pi, motors, and power supply are not included. A 5–12V DC power source is required for the motor power input. Ideal For Robotics projects with DC motors or stepper motors Automated camera rigs and pan/tilt systems CNC and 3D printer motion control Package Contents 1× Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor Bonnet (fully assembled with terminal blocks and header) Note: Terminal block colour may vary (blue or black). **Product Type:** physical ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkChztJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--38fa76eb1ef662c524da729c92fddac1e07a617d/image_32df2e44-1c87-47b4-9d9f-0d67d73ea9bd.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCiDtJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--d17227369a6bd206a3836d02be97c1ce5cd1cd6c/image_26754386-2a37-46eb-9a89-54d70f076f63.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCiTtJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--21a8c25df2035167279b123b914c0870601c4e3a/image_d0ab4f6b-422f-4f43-bcfc-4b6011e4ca75.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCijtJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--ab4797e439d13145efac7fda378f45d2e3c9d191/image_5a90fe48-8944-4348-a7bb-6e3ed450d43e.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCiztJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--eb73ba87cb3b326811ea8022d8150d054494927c/image_c4b14c31-2c3e-414b-9515-365dc75c2d9c.jpg) - [Image 6](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCjDtJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--db4a970634f6d848dbde7ef6fbf99012d5bc7da5/image_e81c259b-0591-43d9-9aab-9bbfeb533bea.jpg) - [Image 7](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCjTtJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--f85b96c6dd07b2301b5c73a830f05923ff83904b/image_4743cc33-65a6-46fc-9d6a-c27fabfe19d4.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
