Description:
The WeMos D1 Mini I2C Dual Motor Driver Shield, featuring the TB6612FNG motor driver chip, is designed for efficient and versatile motor control. This shield can manage up to two DC motors with a constant current of 1.2A and a peak current of 3.2A, making it ideal for various robotic and DIY projects. It operates via an I2C interface, which simplifies connectivity with the WeMos D1 Mini or Mini Pro development boards. The shield offers four motor control modes: CW (clockwise), CCW (counterclockwise), short brake, and stop, providing flexible options for motor operations.
Engineered for reliability, the shield includes a standby control feature to conserve power when the motors are not in use. Its compact design allows for easy integration and removal, facilitated by the supplied headers. The TB6612FNG chip’s pins are arranged to separate input and output functions, enhancing user convenience. Additionally, the shield supports high-frequency PWM control up to 100kHz, ensuring precise speed and direction management of the connected motors.
