About this product
*The Qwiic Motor Driver takes all the great features of the Serial Controlled Motor Driver and mini-sizes them, adding Qwiic ports for plug and play functionality. Boasting the same PSOC and 2-channel motor ports, the QWIIC Motor Driver is designed to communicate over I2C, but UART is also available.
*There are two separate power circuits on this board . Power for the motors is supplied through the VIN Connectors - you can provide anywhere from 3.3V to 11V to the "MAX 11V" and "GND" connections. Power for the PSOC and logic circuits is provided by the 3.3V inputs on the Qwiic connectors. Both are needed for proper functioning.
*Features: 1.5 A peak drive per channel, 1.2 A steady state; Operates from 3 to 11 volts with 12v absolute max; 3.3V default VCC and logic; 127 levels of DC drive strength; Controllable by I2C or TTL UART signals; Direction inversion on a per motor basis; Global Drive enable; Exposed small heat sink shape; Several I2C addresses, default UART bauds available
*There are two Qwiic connectors on the board such that you can provide power or daisy-chain the boards should you choose to do so. If youre unfamiliar with our Qwiic system, head on over to our Qwiic page to see the advantages!
*Kit Includes: 1x SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver, 1x Hobby Gearmotor - 140 RPM (pair), 1x Flexible Qwiic Cable - 100mm, 1x Lithium Ion Battery - 1250mAh (IEC62133 Certified)
Description
The SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver Kit gives you the basic parts needed to get up and running quickly with a motor driven project. Along with the included Qwiic Motor Driver is a 100mm Qwiic cable, a pair of hobby gearmotors, and a LiPo battery as a power supply.
The SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver boasts 4245 PSOC and 2-channel motor ports, the SparkFun Qwiic Motor Driver is designed to communicate over I2C to make setting up your next robotic project as fast and easy as possible! Utilizing our handy Qwiic system and screw terminals for motor and power hook-up, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system.
With 1.2A steady state drive per channel (1.5A peak) and 127 levels of DC drive strength, this little Qwiic board is perfect for your small DC motor driver needs. Since the Qwiic Motor Driver is a 3.3V logic device, you'll need to use a logic level converter to interface to 5V.
The I2C address of the Qwiic Motor Driver is 0x5D and is jumper selectable to 0x58, 0x59, 0x5A, 0x5B, ... 0x63.
Note: With a wide variety of Qwiic enabled microcontroller boards available we decided not to include one so you could choose the one that fits best with your current project needs. Check the Hookup Accessories below for some suggestions.
The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.
