“+ easy to solder (using the user guide)
+ easy to understand
+ easy to write driver
+ supports up to 36 (!) volts
+ relatively cheap
- acquires 12 gpio pins (3 per motor)
The pretty much only thing one can do wrong is connecting power with wrong polarity. That will blow up the board and the pi.
I also wish for a similar product, controlled over I2C. (Like Picon Zero's motor controller.)”
“Got this to prototype an antweight robot. It's a bit heavy to use in the final thing but it controls the motors perfectly while testing, and the gpio example code to control motor speed worked first time.”
