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 HAT safe. A small prototyping area is included for additional circuitry. 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 HATs for controlling up to 128 DC motors or 64 steppers (stacking header sold separately) Prototyping Area – Extra space for custom circuitry Also Available DC & Stepper Motor Bonnet – Fully assembled plug-and-play version Programming Python (pip-installable library with examples) Compatibility Any Raspberry Pi with 2×20 GPIO header (A+, B+, Pi 2, Pi 3, Pi 4, Pi 5, Zero) Important: Raspberry Pi, motors, and power supply are not included. A 5–12V DC power source is required for the motor power input. Package Contents 1× Adafruit DC & Stepper Motor HAT (assembled and tested) Terminal blocks 1× 2×20 plain header (soldering required) Note: This is a mini kit — some soldering is required to attach the header and terminal blocks. Terminal block colour may vary (blue or black). **Product Type:** physical ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCFnhJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--00553dc6dae227497f6bac1119e18bf1c0962254/image_6a66eba0-1f6f-4ed9-bb17-a7e16078f4dc.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCF3hJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--941151aff4c8a59645f22c32f30ab7d151ffb0bb/image_114fc223-828c-4db8-a924-f9aa35583ca9.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCGHhJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--20aef28d04b0d17ee737311c397c1f2d3f83151c/image_1871b19e-923e-4d65-bcc7-ef86b9d73666.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCGXhJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--eab6bc20cdfbb5c18e92b572e557c4b6354fcbdd/image_78c7dd37-58ef-4ff6-bfe8-4d416220ed5b.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCGnhJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--db683f18ac6e600539c506ef3ba1e6d4782a1e01/image_6f814a37-734e-4898-be8c-56fa6120bcc2.jpg) - [Image 6](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkCG3hJIghwdXIGOwBUSSIMYmxvYl9pZAY7AEY=--2c033789bc06dc2c7e0cc35f0c419e47a66f1f2e/image_4b9dd775-24dc-4471-8805-a4138974c361.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).
