Motor Drivers and Controllers
Motor Drivers and Controllers
Motor Drivers and Controllers are integrated circuits (IC) that allow you to control and power motors in your electronics project. Whether you're working on a new robot or an RC car we're sure to have a motor controller for you. This range of boards contains drivers suitable for a variety of motors and are compatible with many common microcontroller development platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
Why do we need motor drivers?
A decent DC motor will often require voltages in the range of 5-12V, many common microcontrollers which are commonly used to control electronics projects around the world run on lower voltages of 3.3V/5V. To properly control the motor a motor driver IC is required to interface between the microcontroller and the motor. It reads instructions sent from the microcontroller and then outputs a higher voltage to the motor to allow it to run effectively.
