DC brushed motors are the most commonly used and widely available motors in the market. The Cytron 10 Amp 5-30 V DC Motor Driver will help you add functionality to your DC motor. It supports both sign-magnitude PWM signal and locked-antiphase. It is compatible with full solid-state components resulting in higher response time and eliminates the wear and tear of the mechanical relay. Features Supports motor voltage from 5 V to 30 V DC Current up to 13 A continuous and 30 A peak 3.3 V and 5 V logic level input Compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi Speed control PWM frequency up to 20 kHz Fully NMOS H-Bridge for better efficiency No heat sink is required Bi-directional control for one Brushed DC motor Regenerative Braking Downloads User Manual Arduino Library

Cytron Maker Pi RP2040 features the first microcontroller designed by Raspberry Pi – RP2040, embedded on a robot controller board. This board comes with dual channel DC motor driver, 4 servo motor ports and 7 Grove I/O connectors, ready for your next DIY robot / motion control project. Now you can build robot, while trying out the new RP2040 chip. The DC motor driver onboard is able to control 2x brushed DC motors or 1x bipolar/unipolar stepper motor rated from 3.6 V to 6 V, providing up to 1 A current per channel continuously. The built-in Quick Test buttons and motor output LEDs allow functional test of the motor driver in a quick and convenient way, without the need of writing any code. Vmotor for both DC and servo motors depends on the input voltage supplied to the board. Maker Pi RP2040 features all the goodness of Cytron's Maker series products. It too has lots of LEDs useful for troubleshooting (& visual effects), is able to make quite some noise with the onboard piezo buzzer and comes with push buttons ready to detect your touch. There are three ways to supply power to the Maker Pi RP2040 – via USB (5 V) socket, with a single cell LiPo/Li-Ion battery or through the VIN (3.6-6 V) terminals. However only one power source is needed to power up both controller board and motors at a time. Power supply from all these power sources can all be controlled with the power on/off switch onboard. Cytron Maker Pi RP2040 is basically the Raspberry Pi Pico + Maker series' goodness + Robot controller & other useful features. Therefore this board is compatible with the existing Pico ecosystem. Software, firmware, libraries and resources that are developed for Pico should work seamlessly with Cytron Maker Pi RP2040 too. CircuitPython is preloaded on the Maker Pi RP2040 and it runs a simple demo program right out-of-the-box. Connect it to your computer via USB micro cable and turn it on, you will be greeted by a melody tune and LEDs running light. Press GP20 and GP21 push buttons to toggle the LEDs on/off, while controlling any DC and servo motors connected to it to move and stop. With this demo code, you get to test the board the moment you receive it! While connected to your computer, a new CIRCUITPY drive appears. Explore and edit the demo code (code.py & lib folder) with any code editor you like, save any changes to the drive and you shall see it in action in no time. That's why we embrace CircuitPython – it's very easy to get started. Wish to use other programming lauguages? Sure, you are free to use MicroPython and C/C++ for Pico/RP2040. For those of you who loves the Arduino ecosystem, please take a look at this official news by Arduino and also the unofficial Pico Arduino Core by Earle F. Philhower.

Program your REKA:BIT with Microsoft MakeCode Editor. Just add REKA:BIT MakeCode Extension and you’re good to go. If you’re a beginner, you can start with the block programming mode; simply drag, drop and snap the coding blocks together. For more advanced users, you can easily switch into JavaScript or Python mode on MakeCode Editor for text-based programming.REKA:BIT possesses a lot of indicator LEDs to assist your coding and troubleshooting. It covers the IO pins connected to all six Grove ports and DC motor outputs from the co-processor. One is able to check his/her program and circuit connection easily by monitoring these LEDs.Besides, REKA:BIT also has a power on/off indicator, undervoltage, and overvoltage LEDs built-in to give appropriate warnings should there be any problem with the power input.REKA:BIT features a co-processor to handle multitasking more efficiently. Playing music while controlling up to 4x servo motors and 2x DC motors, animating micro:bit LED matrix, and even lighting up RGB LEDs in different colors, all at the same time, is not a problem for REKA:BIT.Features 2x DC motor terminalsBuilt-in motor quick test buttons (no coding needed) 4x Servo motor ports 2x Neopixel RGB LEDs 6x Grove port (3.3 V) 3x Analog Input / Digital IO ports 2x Digital IO ports 1x I²C Interface DC jack for power input (3.6 - 6 VDC) ON/OFF switch Power on indicator Undervoltage (LOW) indicator & protection Over-voltage (HIGH) indicator & protection Dimensions: 10.4 x 72 x 15 mm Included 1x REKA:BIT expansion board 1x USB power and data cable 1x 4xAA battery holder 1x Mini screwdriver 3x Grove to female header cable 2x Building block 1x9 lift arm 4x Building block friction pin Please note: micro:bit board not included
