{"title":"Adafruit DC  Stepper Motor HAT for Raspberry Pi - Mini Kit","handle":"adafruit-dc-stepper-motor-hat-for-raspberry-pi-mini-kit","url":"/products/adafruit-dc-stepper-motor-hat-for-raspberry-pi-mini-kit","description":"The Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor HAT drives up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors from your Raspberry Pi, with full PWM speed control. 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.\n\nThe 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 HAT safe. A small prototyping area is included for additional circuitry.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n4× H-Bridge Motor Drivers – TB6612 chipset, 1.2A per bridge with thermal shutdown and kickback protection\n\nUp to 4 DC Motors – Bi-directional with individual 8-bit PWM speed control\n\nUp to 2 Stepper Motors – Unipolar or bipolar, single/double coil, interleaved, or micro-stepping\n\n4.5–13.5V Motor Power – Polarity-protected 2-pin terminal block with jumper\n\nI2C Control – Dedicated PWM chip, sharable bus with other I2C devices\n\nStackable – Up to 32 HATs for controlling up to 128 DC motors or 64 steppers (stacking header sold separately)\n\nPrototyping Area – Extra space for custom circuitry\n\n\nAlso Available\n\n\nDC & Stepper Motor Bonnet – Fully assembled plug-and-play version\n\n\nProgramming\n\nPython (pip-installable library with examples)\n\n\nCompatibility\n\nAny Raspberry Pi with 2×20 GPIO header (A+, B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi 5, Zero)\n\n\n\nImportant: Raspberry Pi, motors, and power supply are not included. A 5–12V DC power source is required for the motor power input.\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor HAT (assembled and tested)\nTerminal blocks\n1× 2×20 plain header (soldering required)\n\n\n\nNote: This is a mini kit — some soldering is required to attach the header and terminal blocks. Terminal block colour may vary (blue or black).\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":9256,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-2348","price":48.67,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":104,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
