## Description

The DC Motor Driver HAT is a Raspberry Pi add-on board that drives up to two DC motors via I2C. Built around the TB6612FNG motor driver chip with 1.2 A continuous current per channel (2 A peak), it supports both standard DC motors and motors with encoders through the on-board encoder interface. An STM32 microprocessor handles command processing from the Raspberry Pi and converts instructions into motor drive signals. The board accepts 7–12 V input and communicates via I2C, making it straightforward to integrate into robotics and motion control projects. Key Features TB6612FNG Motor Driver – 1.2 A continuous / 2 A peak per channel 2-Channel Output – Drive two DC motors or DC motors with encoders On-Board Encoder Interface – Direct support for motor encoders STM32 Processor – Handles command processing and motor signal generation I2C Communication – Default address 0x10, easy to configure Wide Input Voltage – 7–12 V motor supply Raspberry Pi HAT Form Factor – Plugs directly onto the 40-pin GPIO header Specifications Operating Voltage – 7–12 V Logic Voltage – 5 V Continuous Drive Current – 1.2 A per channel Peak Current – 2 A per channel Interface – I2C (default address 0x10) Dimensions – 65 × 30 mm Ideal For Raspberry Pi robot cars and tanks Balance robots Motor control projects with encoder feedback DIY robotics and motion platforms Package Contents 1× DC Motor Driver HAT Resources Product Wiki (DFRobot)
