Description
- Motoron M2h18v18 Dual High-Power Motor Controller for Raspberry Pi (Connectors Soldered)
- Offers independent control of two bidirectional brushed DC motors
- Features reverse-voltage protection and configurable motion parameters
- Supports I²C interface with a clock speed of up to 400 kHz
- Includes a comprehensive user's guide and a Motoron Python library
The Motoron M2h18v18 Dual High-Power Motor Controller for Raspberry Pi (Connectors Soldered) is a sophisticated device designed to manage DC motors via a Raspberry Pi (Model B+ or newer) through an I²C interface. It is capable of supporting motor supply voltages ranging from 6.5 V to 30 V and delivering continuous output currents of up to 18 A for each motor. This particular model comes with aluminum standoffs and features soldered stackable headers and terminal blocks.
The design of the M2H controllers allows them to be stacked on top of a Raspberry Pi, akin to a HAT (Hardware Attached on Top). This unique design enables the stacking of multiple controllers on top of each other, thereby facilitating the independent control of numerous motors. The Raspberry Pi communicates with the Motoron via I²C, requiring only two GPIO pins, irrespective of the number of Motorons connected.
