Note that this motor driver add-on is designed specifically for newer versions of the Raspberry Pi with 40-pin GPIO headers, including the Model B+, Model A+, Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. However, the pin mappings can be customized if the defaults are not convenient, and other control inputs and outputs of the MC33926 ICs are accessible on the board for more advanced applications. The board’s default configuration uses six GPIO pins to control the motor drivers, making use of the Raspberry Pi’s hardware PWM outputs, and it uses two additional pins to read status outputs from the drivers. The board ships fully populated with its SMD components it is available either as a part ial kit, with a female header and terminal blocks included but not soldered in, or fully a ssembled with these connectors soldered to the PCB. Other features include a reverse battery protection circuit and logic gates that reduce the number of I/O pins required to control the driver ICs effectively.

The expansion board uses a pair of Freescale MC33926 motor drivers, which operate from 5 to 28 V and can deliver a continuous 3 A per channel (up to 5 A per channel for a few seconds). This motor driver board is an add-on for the Raspberry Pi Model B+, Model A+, Pi 2 Model B, or Pi 3 Model B that lets it easily control a pair of bidirectional, brushed DC motors. The default pin mappings make it easy to get started using our provided software, but the board also exposes most of the driver chips’ I/O pins for more specialized applications.

Its dual MC33926 motor drivers operate from 5 V to 28 V and can deliver a continuous 3 A (5 A peak) per motor. This add-on board enables a Raspberry Pi B+, A+, Pi 2, or Pi 3 to drive a pair of brushed DC motors.
