The Kitronik 5331 PCB is great for driving small (tracked) Robots (like Zumo) with 2 motors and has exelent MicoPython code egsamples. This is great as you can easily add i2c sensors for distance & acceleration etc. For Robots with 4 wheels the slightly more expensive Kitronik 5329 PCB can drive 4 motors and is realy flexible when you use it with the Mcanum wheels for sideways movements. This PCB also has 6 servo outputs as well and also has execelent library examples to try out. The addition of a QW/ST (i2c) connector on both of these PCB's would be extreemly usefull if your Pico PCB doesnt have one as adding sensors (and daisy chaining them) is made easy. Both PCB's are great value for money but if you crave additional features check out the PiMoroni Inventor 2040 W PCB. Be mindful of the motor maximum current for this PCB as it won't drive the larger (yellow) higher current motors.

Does what it says in the specification. It makes the task of driving motors from a Pico board much easier than using smaller motor drivers, which need to have soldered connections. Highly recommended.

Good board for getting started with some hobby robotics and a pico.

Interesting little gadget - I like the fact that if you save file on pico as main.py then you can power the pico and motor through this board - only goes up to 10v a 12 v version would be even better ;-)
