{"product_id":"1823-ca2","title":"RASPB-002753 - DRV8835 DUAL MOTOR DRIVER KIT 1.5-11V 1.5A PEAK\/MOTOR","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis compact expansion board plugs directly into the GPIO header on a Raspberry Pi B+  Pi A+  Pi 2  or Pi 3 and provides an easy and lowcost solution for driving a pair of small brushed DC motors. Its integrated DRV8835 dual motor driver allows it to operate from 1.5 V to 11 V  making it a great control option for lowvoltage motors. The board can deliver a continuous 1.2 A (1.5 A peak) per motor  or a continuous 2.4 A (3 A peak) to a single motor when configured with both channels connected in parallel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOverview\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis motor driver kit and its corresponding Python library make it easy to control a pair of bidirectional  brushed DC motors with a Raspberry Pi Model B+  Model A+  or Pi 2 Model B  Pi 3 Model B  or Pi 3 Model B+. The expansion board features Texas Instruments’ DRV8835 dual Hbridge motor driver IC  which allows it to operate from 1.5 V to 11 V and makes it particularly well suited for driving small  lowvoltage motors. The board can deliver a continuous 1.2 A per channel and tolerate peak currents up to 1.5 A per channel for a few seconds  and the channels can be optionally configured to run in parallel to deliver twice the current to a single motor. The board ships fully populated with its SMD components  including the DRV8835 driver and a FET for reverse battery protection; header pins for interfacing with a Raspberry Pi and terminal blocks for connecting motors and power are included but are not soldered in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe board uses GPIO pins 5  6  12  and 13 to control the motor driver  making use of the Raspberry Pi’s hardware PWM outputs  although the pin mappings can be customized if the defaults are not convenient. Note that it is designed specifically for newer versions of the Raspberry Pi with 40pin GPIO headers  including the Model B+  Model A+  Raspberry Pi 2 Model B  Raspberry Pi 3 Model B  and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+; it is not practical to use this expansion board with the original Raspberry Pi Model A or Model B due to differences in their pinout and form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Generic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837667635269,"sku":"274445-1823-CA2","price":10.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0102\/6644\/3834\/files\/1823-CA2_a1c90725-4347-42e0-a0eb-1f34bd7dbec7.jpg?v=1775737982","url":"https:\/\/shop.sayal.com\/products\/1823-ca2","provider":"SAYAL Electronics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
